JanAndersen 822 Posted September 20, 2022 Fair to middling chance that this is the final competitive meeting at Armadale. Obviously I hope that’s not the case but Edinburgh will be 50 points on Friday minimum. Both teams at full strength? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps Edinburgh's final match should be a NDL meeting, would probably still get a big crowd to say farewell to Armadale & hopefully out something in the kitty for when (I hope) land becomes available for a new track?

Monarchs' recent results at Leicester: July 2022 - 47-42 Sept 2021 - 47-43 season 2020 - n/a July 2019 - 47-42 Absolutely nothing to fear. However, I hope we do our civic duty and bow out at this stage. Leicester finished top of the table and, therefore, deserve to win the title. Meanwhile, we finished a whopping 14 pts behind. There can only be one rightful winner in this tie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,864 Posted September 21, 2022 Have a sneaking suspicion Edinburgh might go through this tie. Riders got bit of extra motivation with missing next season masters and Pickering in particular have very strong affinity for the club. Wouldn't an Edinburgh Glasgow play off final be a fitting send off to armadale? Having said that Poole Leicester is a certainty now ha 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Sam and Josh do their thing you're over halfway there. Lasse's looked better and better when I've seen him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However the team that wins the play-offs technically "deserves" to be Champions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it follows what happened away against Scunthorpe and Plymouth early in the season then expect a better display from Leicester. Have you seen Steve Shovlars comment on the Poole v Leicester thread?
