Well which ever section we allocated at Warrington i'm going on the terracing. The lower parts of my legs are absolutely smashed to bits after jumping up and scraping them on the seats in front quite a few times in the last 2 weeks.

Had to watch on telly due to work commitments. If I was watching as a neutral (thinking back) we'd got the game won when we went 14-6 up. However I wasn't neutral and it was nervy! The two tackles by Szostak in the corner and Taulapapa on Nanyn were awesome. They reminded me of some of the one-on-ones in th 98 final.

We have some very good rugby players who don't really get the limelight on them - Szostak, Green and Hirst in particular do a massive job in the forwards.

Mitch has probably had his best season at the Eagles. I was 60 miles away and Jack's half time team talk was getting me fired up, even though I couldn't hear it (by the way, Jack's failed attempt to get Ben Thaler confused about a penalty decision was pretty funny)

Any news on Dane Macdonald? He looked very uncomfortable when he had to go off.

You could certainly even feel the togetherness of the team,Send shivers down your spine,especially the half-time talk and the celebrations after.They seem to be really on a mission,The half-time at Batley when we were struglling seems to be the turning point of the season because after the break of that game weve never looked back since.Im sure Dane will be fine,Sure a jab will do the trick.Hardmen these rugby players.

Good Luck Eagles, Leigh think they have it in the bag, nothing to lose, so Best of luck

They do every year. But it's good because it gets funnier and funnier each year when they lose in the play-offs

On a serious note, Leigh shouldn't even be playing in the Championship because of what happened to Gateshead a few seasons ago - York should have been promoted back then.

I like watching the Championship games on a Thursday night because I find the game less structured than Super League so it's a better spectacle - it's just a shame Leigh are in it...

Why shouldn't leigh be in the championship in 2011?

Because they haven't won promotion from Div 3 yet from when they were relegated.

Always makes me chuckle when Leigh supporters moan about the lack of proper promotion and relegation, earned on the field of play.

How soon we forget!!!

11/4 at the moment, not as long as the 10/3 we were at Leigh.

I think Menzie will be banned.
