"We haven't given that up yet," said Centurions Coach Neil Kelly.
"We are four points behind with three games left to play. But it is up to us.
"If we can win our three remaining games then we will see how it all pans out.
"But if we lose on Sunday, then we will have to readjust our goals slightly and aim for top four."


It is so tight in the play-off places, that Leigh could also miss out totally on the top six if they were to lose at Celtic, then succumb to Whitehaven at home and Batley away, in their remaining Cooperative National One games. But Kelly and his Centurions are not contemplating such an event.
"We are going flat out to win all three games," he said. "And after Sunday's win against Widnes, I believe we can do it.
"That was the best that we have played in my short tenure here, and we showed plenty of character to come back like we did in the final quarter.


''It was reminiscent of the game against Celtic in some ways, in so much as we dominated the first 30 minutes, but then let them back in it with tries just before half time.
"But unlike the Celtic game we stuck at our guns and came out firing to show plenty of courage and character to take the game. Now we must build on that and get our own back on the Crusaders."


The game kicks off at 4.10 pm and it is being screened on S4C, the Welsh TV Channel, and Leigh are determined to spoil the party.
Kelly does have a fully fit squad to choose from that played so well against Widnes, although Gareth Price may come back into the fold.
"Gareth gives us plenty of extra go forward," he said. "But last week I thought that Iain Morrison and Lee Doran were the players to give us the best combination for the style that Widnes play of quick play the balls.
"The return of Dennis Moran was a boost, but he came back a week earlier than we intended because of an injury to Lee Marsh forcing our hand.


"Toa Kohe Love, Lee (Doran), Dave McConnell, Watson and Morrison all gave us huge games, and with the youngsters like Ian Mort and Adam Higson again going well, it was a top show. Wingers Steve Maden and Dave Alstead did great too.
"But that was last week and we want a win this. We will be travelling and staying overnight. That will help us prepare for the game and with the team-bonding as we move into this very crucial period of games."


Meanwhile Leigh Chairman Arthur Thomas has given a reassuring message to the Centurions disappointed fans, after they were overlooked for Super League in 2009, despite their pending close season relocation to their brand new 12,300 capacity stadium at the Leigh Sports Village.
"The move to the Leigh Sports Village is a really exciting time for the club and our supporters," said Arthur.


"We truly believe that our new facilities are the best the National Leagues have to offer, and this will enable our club to greatly increase our fan-base and further increase our work in the local community.


"We are an ambitious club, and naturally we would have loved the new stadium to showcase Leigh in Super League, but the Co-operative National League One is a fantastically competitive competition, and the standard is getting better each year.
"We are positively looking forward to the next three years."
