Asiata: We take some beating so we're sure to snare Salford
LEIGH captain John Asiata has suffered a "lot of drama" this season - but the real show could be just about to begin.
The Aussie loose forward leads his side into a mouthwatering play-offs eliminator at Salford tonight.
Given the Leopards were limping along in ninth as recently as July, it's remarkable they are even in the race for Old Trafford.
But a run of 10 wins from 12 games has given them a shot at glory and Asiata, who joins Hull in a marquee deal in 2025, is out to make the most of it.
Adrian Lam's side only secured their top-six spot with a tense final night win against St Helens.
Often the club who just gets into the play-offs is spent by the time they come to the knockouts.
