\n In a strange quirk in the schedule, the two neighbours will meet on back-to-back weekends after being paired together in the quarter-final draw, with Leigh making the return trip to The Halliwell Jones Stadium with fresh demons to exorcise.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Wire ran riot in Super League Round Seven, beating a beleaguered Leopards side 42-6 to ensure that they will lead the competition as it breaks for the next phase of knockout action.\n<\/p>\n
\n However, Leigh are expected to welcome several key men back into the fold for Saturday evening\u2019s last-eight tie and as such, Burgess insists they cannot simply expect their road to a third consecutive Wembley final to open up in front of them.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI believe it will be a different proposition next week,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThey\u2019ll get a few bodies back and it\u2019s the cup, so of course its different.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cLike every game we\u2019ve played this year, we\u2019ll put it to bed pretty early in the week. We\u2019ll get back down to ground zero and get some hard work done.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt\u2019s another opportunity for us to progress forward and while we\u2019re alive and have an opportunity to progress in the cup, we\u2019ll fight hard for it.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cFor the players as well as myself, experience is important and we\u2019ve had a bit over the last couple of years, but it will be a tough proposition next weekend.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Although he will now lose forward Jordy Crowther for a period due to a fractured cheekbone, Burgess himself is likely to be able to welcome back a few star players of his own for this weekend\u2019s tie, with full-back Cai Taylor-Wray back in the fold having missed the last four matches with a hamstring strain.\n<\/p>\n
\n Forwards Luke Yates and Kelepi Tanginoa are also due back having missed Saturday\u2019s victory with minor knocks but with those who have stepped in letting nobody down, the Wire boss has the right kind of selection headache.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThat\u2019s the hard part of my job as everyone is playing well,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI didn\u2019t have the luxury of this last year so it\u2019s a really healthy position to be in.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cEveryone deserves to play but the reality is only 17 can be on the field every week. We\u2019ve got to try and make balanced decisions for the group.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a strange quirk in the schedule, the two neighbours will meet on back-to-back weekends after being paired…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":516205,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-516204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/516204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=516204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/516204\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/516205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=516204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=516204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=516204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
