I think its an interesting post. Realistically, I think theres more chance of the teams below us upping their game and us being in a relegation battle than there is of us playing out of our skin and competing with Leigh/Bulls etc., its a dangerous time for us.

We did compete with Leigh. If that last pass had stuck we would probably have drawn the game but the ball literally deflected int the Leigh player's hands so instead we lost by 12. Other teams have been getting hammered by them, we didn't.

I personally think that we are playing some excellent rugby, far better than under Harrison, our problem is knowing when to be a little more cautious. If we can get an additional decent halfback and stop making silly errors I don't think we're far off.

Faxy there are a couple of big IFS in your post and you know what the say about Aunties and Uncles the pitch the day of the Leigh game was a big leveller,we shall see what happens on a dry pitch at the LSV in May ,with NO ifs involved.

Apart from the fact as mentioned several times before that Leigh are full time now and are years down the road into this squad and this team with this coach.

Rewind the clock to how Leigh have been in the not too distant past, would it be a fair reflection to compare them in those days to the clubs who were at the top, apart from bragging about it there can be no point in mentioning it.

Leigh don't have to worry about Fax, the real challenge for them now is the lower end of SL in the play offs short term.

Personally I think they will do really well, after that if they get into SL it will be how long can they stay there as will be the case for any team who manages to go up from the Championship.

It's a whole new ball game how they can compete week in week out both on and off the field in SL as opposed to the Championship.

Hope the op goes well Charlie, can't be long now.

Bulls are same points as Sheffield and only 2 ahead of Fev............strictly middle group I would say.

Charlie, I've told you before. We accept the pitch dragged us down to your level. Not long now until May and see Fax on your wonderful pitch. Up The Fax! Sportsman, shudds. Mallinsons Cascade. 4.1 % Mmm!

Faxcar ,it's been a very long time since I last agreed 100% with a post ,but you make some very true and valid points to which I must applaud you . As you say Leigh not long ago where on their ar#@s the players didn't know if they would get paid ,and the crowds were down ,then a Group of Businessmen gathered together and the rest is History.

Again I agree with your statement about Leigh concentrating on the lower tier teams in SL ,they are the level we must be looking to achieve,what has been done at Leigh can be done at Fax you now have a very good Coach ,and group of Die Hard fans , I sincerely hope you too get success.As for myself?My health is not the best I had tests last week after my Pre - Op and hopefully I will be called in after Easter now ,for Surgery giving me the Summer to recover, thank you for thoughts .Charlie.

I think we should compensate Leigh for having to play on a soggy pitch. We apologise profusely for dragging the mighty Leigh down to our level for 80 minutes. I bet they had a good wash when they got back to that golden little hamlet in Wigan.

We won't compete with Leigh or the Bulls, yet, but we will be no where near relegation.
I have never placed a bet in my life but today I will make an exception.
A bag of chips says I'm right.
