the crucial game looks like being rovers v huddersfield. leigh are more or less up

Will be interesting when they play at london. leigh v hudds also an important game coming up

Said I fancied Leigh to go up weeks ago.

Leigh could still be in the MPG. If they lose to Hudds and Leeds and beat Batley, they'll be on 10 points.
If Hudds beat Leigh and Leeds but lose to Rovers, 10 points.
If Rovers win all three (London, Featherstone and Hudds), they'll be on 10 points.

And with Leigh having a far worse points difference, that could leave them 4th. Big game still against Huddersfield. In fact, all of Huddersfield's games are incredibly important to the outcome of the MPG!

Rovers are right in the fight now that loss has put them in the mix and with the injuries they got today its a place they do not want to be Kelly looks like he is on his way out, after an extended contract

Did hudge really turn down motu for a job at their place?

Thier loss, our gain. Peacock has many contacts in English RL but what about the Antipodese?

Peacock has contacts at leeds and bradford by the looks of it. Long may it continue

Not very good ones it seems

In fairness it wasn't him who handed out these big deals to their overseas journeymen and the money drain that is Campese. As we have found out the hard way it can take time to clear out the deadwood.

as much as it would be as funny as hell to see them back in the Championship, from a financial point of view I hope they stay up. The Derby is by far the clubs biggest money spinner, and the rivalry keeps the season entertaining, the Magic Weekend wouldn't be half as exciting if we were just playing a random team.
