LEIGH Centurions' class of 2014 are on the edge of history.

Having already claimed a club record winning sequence of seventeen wins in succession; one more win for Paul Rowley’s side will ensure that statistically they will be the most successful in the Centurions history.

The Tommy Dickens coached Leigh of 1985-6 won 39 of 43 games, losing just four while a win for the Centurions on Sunday will mean that they cannot lose more than three.

It’s something that boss Rowley is aware of and he said: “If we win on Sunday, we are the most successful team in the club’s history.

"It’s unbelievable! It’s making history and in a year where our heritage has been at the forefront of everyone's mind. It drives home how important and the legacy the boys have set this year.”

The free scoring side have played thirty games this season and won twenty eight time, having their colours lowered by Super League Leeds Rhinos and this Sunday’s play-off visitors, Doncaster.

Asked if happy his side was taking on Doncaster, Rowley responded: “We are happy against anybody. They are a very good team. Obviously a lot will be made of them being the only team to beat us out of the Championship but it’s not about revenge, it’s about fixing up what we do.

"It’s going to be tough, real tough. They’ve had a big scalp recently in dismantling Halifax. It’s a challenge for us but to say we are looking forward to it would be an understatement.”

“We are still looking one game at a time.”

The question on everyone’s lips around the town is can Leigh win?

“The last play-off game that the club won, I played in it,” Rowley recalled of that extra-time Grand Final win against Whitehaven in 2004. I’m aware of the unwanted record there but the personnel in our team doesn’t carry that burden.”

Last week the Centurions saw off the challenge of North Wales Crusaders.

Rowley said: “Defensively I thought we were very good again. I felt we looked like a team waiting for the play-offs.

"Wales were carefree and happy, willing to throw the ball out and there was a skinny ten metres but we knuckled down and showed a commitment. In particular Ryans tries were top draw. We showed a cutting edge when we needed it and I don’t think the result was ever in doubt to be fair.

“It was nice for Ryan Duffy to score two tries because he’s a very popular player.”

Rowley confirmed that the big prop, who also played a key part in the Centurions Reserves 32-28 Grand Final win against Sheffield last Friday, will be leaving the club.

“It’s not a decision that we have taken lightly.”

The Grand Final was decided by a last minute grubber kick from Jamie Tracey, dived upon by Josh Swift for his second try of the game. Tracey, Sam Baggaley, Josh Ward and Cameron Pitman scored tries with Ward nudging over four goals to crown a superb season for Paul Anderson’s side.
