As much as I hate HKR i want you to hammer Leigh as i hate their arrogance when it comes to this time of the year.

No 'arrogance' about this game 'Wilde 3' . We now have a coach who respects (but doesn't fear) ALL our opponents and who is fully aware of the enormous challenge awaiting us on Saturday. Our tactics and style of play couldn't be more different this season - that's why we don't have any backs on 30+ tries this season, (compared with three last year) and why our leading scorers are all forwards.

I'm not expecting us to win this one, but we certainly won't be holding back to concentrate on the Huddersfield game, the week after.

Here's to a good game.

Well put, Alan. The quicksilver, swashbuckling rugby was great to watch and, indeed, served Leigh well in the Cup. But it was rumbled and, in the 8s (the sharp end, the only bit that, ultimately, mattered) the air was suddenly thick with the wings of previously counted chickens coming home to roost.

Different story this time. Leythe visit KR as massive underdogs, in hope rather than expectation. But they will not target Game 5 and take the foot off the pedal. Each game as it comes. If we get beaten or even tonked! Jukes will get them to regroup and face the next challenge.

For the travelling and also the home fans, here's to a good match. I personally will be having kittens as I give teeth and taters to customers at work.

I will not be giving Leigh an almighty good hiding as
a) I couldn't
b) As a Leyther I wouldn't wish it and
c) I shan't be there!

KR are more than capable of doing so on their day and if Leigh don't turn up, but it won't be YOU doing it either.

Ps: The only Association Football legends called Neville weren't goalies!

It's a Hull fan, what do you expect, a fairly dim and harmless one, but one all the same.

Don't expect them to keep up, there's always been problems on The Wrong Side Of The Chocolate River's Tributary, my Mum was born there, she spawned me.

Regular readers and close acquaintances will understand.

Had Southall or Di Canio manhandled a ref in RFL in the day they would have been banned sine die.

Kindle? The clue's in the name. Burn it!

Well done FC for last Saturday. Great game.

Really looking forward to the game. Always found Leigh a very arrogant and unlikable club even years ago (you'd think they'd been in SL the last decade rather than away from it).
Hopefully the boys put in a top performance to send their 2000 home disappointed.
