I would say unless something drastically changes between now and then you will be strong favourites at home.

You guys have really managed to turn the LSV into a fortress this season. The atmosphere even from the Sky cameras seems electric and it is something that I have missed about our own atmosphere in recent years.

I am intrigued to see how we go, as it will be our first real test. Hopefully we give a good account of ourselves - although I have a niggling feeling that our pack just doesn't have enough size to compete with the SL clubs atm.

You can't really do anything but applaud Leigh, they knocked on the door of SL for long enough, got fed up and then kicked it off it's hinges.

They're making a good go of it so far and I hope they make the top eight, that would reinforce the P&R works.

Ideal result for me in this game would be a narrow loss, that would mean we wouldn't be far off but still with work to do.

Re: challenge cup draw : Thu Mar 23, 2017 9:50 am  

Leigh have given many clubs a new hope with how there've gone about gaining promotion and then rolling up their sleeves and having a go this term.
Yes they had to have a substantial financial backer, but again this is something others can try and attain.
The super league comp is all about the grand final (just list to Hemmings on sky every week) but in 18 years only 6 teams have contested the final with 4 different winners .

I don't for one minute think Leigh will change that this year or even next, but they can kick-on and try and upset the super league elite and in doing so give teams like us something to aim for.

What kind of cackamalla is this utter garbled nonsense?

The above post has very familiar overtones of the incomprehensible Billysmartscircus drivel we had to suffer a few months back until he got banned off here. Sprinkle in some of the tones of that criminal who spewed anti Rovers bile for a pastime on the HDM website and now it looks like the culprit has resurfaced. A ban should follow soon.

The loss of Drinkwater should play into our hands. The cup itself is not a realistic aim but progression just became easier. We really need more tests and I believe the cup offers us a very good chance now.

Not sure how long Josh will be out , but as I put earlier , we ' should ' be favourites , just as we were on Saturday ( essentially the 1 st time ever we have been clear favourites to win a SL match ) , but as can happen , gift a supposed inferior opponent some confidence and all of a sudden you have an open game

Not sure how you are finding the Championship as a challenge intensity wise , you can become complacent , a tough cup game can help re evaluate where you are , although many of us think our ' run ' in 2015 fatigued us when we came to the middle 8s , as shown against your good self
