Cokey, mate, Bongser didn't mention messing around or disjointing the squad, he merely said ease off once the job is done.
Six days to Cats away and, hopefully all there two or three of those ahead of time.

I know what you're saying but, Lammy will continue to play any player he desires, and won't ease off. He never has done. He will continue to play with momentum.

Fringe players are usely loaned out.

Of course he will be selective in choosing his interchanges on the bench.

Cokey, we are on the same hymn sheet but no one sings the same hymns every Sunday.

Lammy should and will play his best available 17 tomorrow. But, with all due respect to York, the game SHOULD be a foregone conclusion come 50 mins (10 mins after HT to blow all Hendo's speeches out of the water). THEN conserve energy, avoid unnecessary confrontation and/or injury and be in the best shape to try to make it 10/10 in the South of France.

COYL!

Of course. I think I'm getting excited by singing out loud, rocking all over the world.

A hull kr side that has quite a few injury problems beating a poor Salford performance on the day and then a disjointed hull side giving st Helens a run for their money until Griffin's head fell off, is any one else feeling even more optimistic about what could be in store for this flying Leigh team . Well let's see what an out of sorts Warrington team can do against an out of form Wigan team first before we really do start to beLEIGHve

I think it's written in the stars. Wakey and York away get us to the SF and then 80 minutes away from Wembley. If Saints get to the final, we will be massive underdogs just as we were in '71. What a great story. Leythers for the Cup for me!

Final 18

Re: Squads v York : Sun Jun 18, 2023 6:51 pm  

Credit to York, they put in a massive performance today.

But I have to say that I feel we, as a team, didn't give York the respect they deserved. We didn't do the things we know that need doing to set us up for success, tried to shortcut the process. We got drawn in to the niggle early on and didn't keep our discipline.

All said and done, we're in the semi's but bans could cost us dear. I hope Kai's good record means his ban won't be super long, but it was a terrible tackle but very out of character. Zak might get 1 or 2. Think we can deal without Zak for a game or two, bring Leutele back in and play Umyla who went well today. Going to miss Kai though, as we're already short in the 2nd row.

Today was a complete:-

Re: Squads v York : Sun Jun 18, 2023 8:41 pm  

Not a good day. Kai will be a big miss. We won however.

Re: Squads v York : Sun Jun 18, 2023 9:02 pm  

Awful performance, yes we won but it’s was a very painful watch. No excuses apart from cockiness and arrogance.
Full credit to York but my word did we under perform
Kai will get a lengthy ban , Zak and Asiata my also also have a week or 2 in the stands

Re: Squads v York : Sun Jun 18, 2023 9:18 pm  

At least Kai and maybe Asiata will get the rests we've been hoping for

Pessimism says that is our season now. We're safe but probably not in any contention to be in the play-offs either.

Its a tough run of fixtures now. To get a result at Cats, regardless of our form would have taken a might effort.

Hull KR are pretty handy, with only home advantage getting us through much like vs Hull.

Cas away would look to be the easiest but you never can tell, the Salford and Wigan away.

I just wish we never had to play on TV, off the top of my head we've only ever had about 3 cracking performances, the rest have always caught us at our dopiest.

Still, more than I could have hoped for coming into this game.

Credit to York, though we maintain a flawless record against white rose teams this season
