HALIFAX boss Matt Calland will attempt to plot Leigh’s downfall just five days after ‘Fax fell to a shock defeat at Gateshead.

But he insists there will be more surprise results to follow in the coming weeks.

Calland said: “We can only concentrate on what we do. There are going to be a lot of twists and turns and there’ll be a few more funny results before the end of the season.

“It’s very important we bounce back. We’ve got to turn it around and start building up some form ahead of the play-offs.”

Nicky Stanton is doubtful for Leigh while Dave Alstead is definitely out.

Tom Hemingway is likely to appear against the club he was loaned to in May from Huddersfield Giants.

Centurions coach Paul Rowley said: “Although the lads were absolutely heartbroken last week, I think they took a lot of satisfaction out of it.

“We took massive strides forward in our performance and commitment levels. We’re still really buoyant and positive.”

He added: “Halifax have had a couple of losses now, so that shows it can go either way. If we can build pressure there’ll be a bit of doubt there, but they’ll be working hard. It’s our challenge to prevent that backlash from coming.”
