Cheese dont write of halifax they have a good enough side to beat featherstone On the day but featherstone definatly are favourites and i think they will win and leigh are going to have a much easier path and the form there in i can only see them in the final

Fev against Leigh for me too Cheese, should be some final and some spectacle if that's the case.

[tattyrhino]

Leigh got done by the bulldogs last year so I wouldn't mark them as in the final just yet

[Cheese]

from what i have seen leigh are better than last year.

They do look a better team but if I remember they started like a house on fire last season didn't they.

[Cheese]

i dont recall but u can be right. when did they collapse then??

they look clearly the best in the division so far.

it would be hugely ironic if widnes finish in the bottom quarter and they are the team going into super league.
