Adrian Lam refuses to write off Leigh Leopards playoff hopes after Leeds loss

That defeat now makes the task even tougher, with the magic mark of 28 points looking unlikely given some of the tough fixtures Adrian Lam’s side have to play. Furthermore, they will have to play three games in ten days at the start of August to fit in the rescheduled game against Wigan Warriors.

Adrian Lam was asked after the defeat to Leeds about the prospects of making the top six, with the 18-10 loss hurting his side’s chances, but ruled nothing out.

Leigh Leopards had turned on the form, but the loss to Leeds certainly dampens their hopes, with the club likely to need to pick up 18 points from the available 26 to reach a realistic playoff benchmark.

The sixth-placed side have had 28 points or more in the last two seasons, but Adrian Lam refuses to get into the numbers, explaining it remains “week-to-week”.
