The SL team would always be hot favourites and a lot can happen between now and May. I'm confident we will lose our unbeaten record, for instance, given that we face Halifax, Barrow and Featherstone in our next three league games.

Perhaps an interesting yardstick of our early season form was a very close game against a full strength Harlequins team - a game that we only lost in the very final minute.

We are all looking forward to seeing 'new' visitors at our Sports Village stadium and our sure that your guys will enjoy playing there. Indeed, many of them already have, when they represented France, last season.

As a sideline, I am the editor of Leigh's matchday magazine, 'The Centurion' snd will be looking to get material for our programe that day. Can you recommend a good source, for player information, and photos, please?

Well, best of luck mate in the next month (exept against Barrow!) and hopefully we will get to see a good cup tie at your place

hi Alan - sorry,pushed the wrong button !

the best source I think of for you would be to contact Cala Millor Rhino aka Ricky,who does all the Catalan games for some uk publications and is based in your area (ish) - try to pm him or pm me and i'll give you his mobile number,i'm sure he'd be only too willing to help
ps - any chance of saving me a copy of the programme ?

If FCL lose against their LER playoff match on 1 May, they then play the minor semi final on the same day as their Featherstone Cup tie. Requests to the RFL about re-arranging dates should this occur have been denied so FCL will be forced to field their Junior side against Fev as their priority is the French Championship title

tricky,methinks.....

Re: Challenge Cup round 4 : Wed Apr 20, 2011 7:26 am  

Yeah, the only solution is to win on the 1st!

Re: Challenge Cup round 4 : Wed May 04, 2011 8:23 am  

What do you think? Predictions from you?

I'll say Leigh 20-38 Catalans

Looking forward to watching Bosc, Dureau and Ferriol.

I'm going for 14 - 42 ordinarily,but with Mr Child who really seems anti-french it could be a lot closer...

just look out for the influence of Menzies,if fit to play - he has been awesome this year - you will need to keep him quiet on your left side as he's been running the show in some games.

also Henderson & young Pelissier and the most consistent performer IMO this season,Ben Farrar

Re: Challenge Cup round 4 : Wed May 04, 2011 12:57 pm  

46 - 22 for us I think.

Eloi Pelissier will run the show !

Re: Challenge Cup round 4 : Wed May 04, 2011 1:24 pm  

No Menzies or Millard again for Friday but Martins & Gigot enter the 19
