That can't be right. It's not wearing a Leeds shirt!

People have been banned on the Wigan gloat thread for less.

I am surprised Ulugia hasn't got sponsorship yet, for a player that could be scoring a try every other game played he would be a good option for a business to get regular mentions

Will he be part-time, or will he have to pack in reading the news?

Hello all,

I have now received the list of the academy squad, which I give below. Does anyone have any particular wish to sponsor any particular player? If not, should we choose at random?

Can we have all the Jameses? And maybe Jack and Jake thrown in too? That would be awesome.

Out of my whole year at high school in the 70s there was one James & a few Michaels. No other Christian name off that list. That is bizarre.

I was going to ask for something sensible like a prop a 2nd row a half back a back and another, but changed my mind to something sort of random: can we have the five (at least the ones I have identified) who have first names as second names?:

Callum Ogden
Ethan Ryan
Jack Giorgiou
Michael Paul
Liam Kirk

edit: yes I know these days that anything goes, Chassagne-Montrachet Grand Cru Smith or Widdicombe Jones, but these have a degree of history behind them ( eg Ogden has been used as a first name[delfrom[/del since the 19th century. Ogden Nash is probably the best known example)

We will go with majority vote. Thanks once again.

We should run a comp, and each one that wants to be sponsored should pitch for it.

Then we announce the ones we want. Then we change our minds and call back one or two of the rejects.

James,
James,
James,
James,
Jack,
Jake.

Come on people, it has to be. And it will make it easy for the old people to remember who we have sponsored.

It would be "whom", you young plank!

How weird that it was you I was thinking of too...

Don't know any of them so happy to go with the majority

Actually, that should be: "you of whom I was thinking..."

Mike - I'll have the money with you once I've got paid at the end of the month.

I'll see you next Tuesday and settle up

From the list of the academy squad (which I give again below), I have heard from someone who knows and recommends Luke Hooley, so I have highlighted him. Any further thoughts?

Liam Kirk won an the academy player of the year I believe.

How many do we get?

The following ones had parents smart enough to make sure they have got "R A B" somewhere in their names;
