Really looking forward to this game, 'role reversal' in many respects for us, where as a championship side in the CC, as in the last 3 years, we beat Wakefield & Salford, and also only lost at Warrington & Leeds by just over 10 points. You guys will bring a BIG following, and should make for a cracking atmosphere....and hopefully it's an exciting game....that WE win !

Interesting game this, the two clubs have more or less switched places. We always had a bit of a heated rivalry in the early to mid nineties with Leigh, with us eventually gaining the upper hand.

I'll stick with what I originally said and will settle for a close loss to give the team a reminder of just how hard the rubbish eights will be. Having said that, a win would be brilliant if only to shut my mates father in law up who after years of being a Wire fan suddenly rediscovered his love of The Leythers about nine months ago...

Whole team stood up today.forwards did better than I thought they would.More steel in the team mentally and if the soft gets,most of whom are now playing superleague elsewhere had shown half as much effort we wouldn't be in the situation we are.certainly pleasing result and looking forward to the draw for next round.still plenty to work on for Sheens but that win sends the right message out.

Excellent result. As Sheens said pre-match this doesn't mean a huge amount in terms of the 8s - but a heavy defeat would have made some a bit twitchy no doubt.

Also another step to putting some stuff behind me psychologically - last season's defeat to Oldham can be properly consigned to the 'just history' part of my brain.

I look forward to watching it. Anybody but Wigan or Hull in the next round please.

Good to get then win, no doubt a big boost on and off the field.

Doesn't mean a great deal though, bigger tests to come. We're a much bigger team than Leigh.

Bring on the 8's.
