So fax don't have a chance due to Leighs financial problems? If anything it will have reverse effect on your team. Robbie Paul isn't playing for Leigh because he likes Lobby, its about the cash!

I was with the lads last night before training, doing an intervwiew for granada reports, no nerves whatso ever, they was looking very fit and confident.
Just two injuries Govin and Bibey, not sure on dual regs but we have a very good squad to choose from.

I'm sure they were fit and confident when we turned up at the LSV, having already beaten us at The Shay and our not so impressive league position, and look what happened there.

Its a Final, both teams will turn up wanting to win, it should be a right cracker

Bang on Brew. Two in-form sides who are both capable of producing some cracking rugby.

The nerves dont hit until the the day of the final. Its how they handle it then. We have been there and done it so probably wont be a problem for us but will the nerves have any affect on Leigh. Is it wrong if i keep tweeting them saying its only natural to be nervous?

You'd actually be quite surprised how many players in the Leigh side have played in a NRC/Grand Final at this level or even higher in the case of Robbie Hunter-Paul. By my reckoning, Donlan, Duffy, Hill, Taylor and Maden have played in a Grand Final/NRC Final for Leigh in the past and Littler and Nanyn have played in Grand Finals and NRC Finals for previous clubs.

You'd be weird not to get not nerves playing in a final!

Champions use the nerves in a positive way, and it improves performance!

nerves separates the pretendors and the CHAMPS!!!!

CHAMPIONIES CHAMPIONIES OLE OLE OLE!!!!!

If that is the case, then it is highly commendable!

It just goes to show that not all professional sportsmen are disloyal and just in it for the money.

One of the benefits of having a ridiculously high number of local players. In fact, bar Robbie Hunter-Paul (Kiwi), I'm pretty sure the entire squad are either from Leigh or within 10 miles of Leigh!
