I've been telling a friend of mine i don't expect any SL side from this season not to be in SL next season because i didn't think a championship side could match a SL team on fitness. What i have been saying is Leigh are a professional side playing amateurs (bar 1 or 2 others) week in week out so they are going to win. Alright, they beat wakie and salford but at the time they couldn't buy a win. Rovers where out on their feet today first half, Leigh threw all they had at us in the 1st half and to be honest, i thought we had blown it and my theory was right out of the window. Thank f that Rovers proved my thinking right. Leigh...not lost at home for 2 yrs, Leigh not lost at home for 30 games...Leigh had 2 weeks rest on us...Leigh at full strength as far as i am aware...Leigh home support driving them on...Rovers away record shocking, rovers out played in first half...rovers 18 points down at half time...yet...second half, Leigh looked knackered and Rovers just did what they had to. I might be eating my words after game 7 but after today, if Leigh couldn't take a really under performing SL side at home then they won't be in SL next season.

PS, i thought Leigh where great in the 1st half, some really fantastic play and tries, a pleasure to watch, entertaining rugby which is what this great game of our is all about.

Agree with most of that except you say when Leigh beat Wakefield and Salford they couldn't buy a win but Salford were actually fourth then

Atomic seems to have gone AWOL. Had a lot to say before the game.

You're right, but wasn't it a week or two before that, that their "injury crisis" started to unfold and went on a 6 or 7 game losing run including Leigh?

Not on here, he's retreated back to his own forum. Still spouting sheet mind.

From a rhinos fan, we'll done on yesterday's second half performance. It took a fair amount of effort and commitment to overtake the Leigh score line .
Look forward to what should be an excellent wembly final.

Well for a game i wasnt expecting to win,i cant believe how gutted i am that we lost it.

Couldn't believe we went for the 2 point when we got the penalty on your try line,a try & conversion would have finished you off then,imo.

Good luck for the rest of the games & i hope you win them all now.

TBF to Leigh they have been the stand out team in the championship for the past couple of season's. Wasn't it last year they gave the mighty Leeds a real scare in the CC. ?
Glad to have got through that with a win but really hope Leigh make the Super League with their style of attacking rugby.
