This is guy who said London would finish 9th last year

How did that work out, Gazza?

Like Ellery Hanley, Gary Schofield is an utter playing legend of the game, who couldn't coach for toffee and became a professional talker of crap.

Saying we will finish 8th with Leigh 2nd, is rather eccentric.

Do you think he does it just for attention? As a (supposed?) journalist you'd expect the editors would prefer him to be slightly believable, or be at least in the ball park. As for his 'radar', I suspect it was built during the second world war, suffered some bomb damage and hasn't been repaired since.

To be honest I'm not sure he has the cunning to act the agent provocateur. I think he's just a not particularly bright gobshite. But maybe I should get down off the fence on this one.

IMO I think he does it to try and keep himself relevant, keep his name in RL fans mouths and it seems to work doesn't it

Some of the things he comes out with are baffling, maybe he just throws wild predictions out there in the hope that one day the unthinkable might happen and he may get something right! I think in all fairness to the guy, watching the 40/20 podcasts, he does talk a lot of sense in the discussions he takes part in, he just goes and spoils himself by making silly predictions.

The old "throw enough poop at the wall, some will stick" approach.

Not good for punditry.

The guy is an irrelevant idiot and seemingly has an anti-Bradford bias.

Nearly all Leigh fans think we'll do well to finish in top 6 and anything higher would be a bonus,looking back about 5 weeks we'd have been happy to avoid relegation so we'd take 8th ha ha

From the reserves/19s games I watched at our place last year, Alix Stephenson was rightly getting a lot of plaudits, but I thought Elliot Culling has the potential to be a fantastic centre for us. Big lad and defensively can really put a shot on. Doyle is also very very strong, very much in the mould of a young Terry Newton

Played with Elliot Culling at Wibsey for a bit before he signed up on a professional deal. Absolute freak of nature at that age and one of the best I have played with. Put on some height and size too over the past year with the Bulls. Wouldn’t be shocked to see him feature in a Cup game or at least a friendly or two first!

That's enough to convince me
