Quote ="Pumpetypump"Confirmation if any was needed that Uncle Derek is an absolute loony: www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... r-10074994 MEN Sport can reveal that no ground access is being granted to the Bulls owner Marc Green at Leigh Sports Village this weekend. "Leigh have taken a firm stand and could be fined for a breach of operational rules. This though does not bother the Centurions’ owner. He adds: ‘‘They can keep on fining me if they like. ‘‘Our chairman Mike Norris has already written to Bradford and told them there will be no access for Marc Green at our ground. ‘‘We can do this and to keep fining me is just like taking a bottle of water off a supermarket shelf. One goes and there is still a load left."'" What an absolutely tool I think Bradford will actually do a number on Leigh on Saturday. Marc's stood/sat with fans many times this year anyway so i don't think he will be too bothered.

So does that make Marc Green an absolute tool also, as I seem to remember he started the 'no ground access', hence the hundreds of Derek masks at our game at Odsall

Odsal*

And yes, Marc was an idiot for doing it too. Petty actions from both men.

No. Marc banned him until he gets an apology, I think.

Derek has banned Marc because Marc banned him....

It's all very 3year old isn't it?

Bradford learned our lesson about not annoying the RFL excessively a few years ago. Leigh would seem to be heading that way now.

Knob cheese is a good word for him,no doubt when they are docked points for going over the cap that wont be their fault either bloody RFL and the Yorkist agenda they have

get real Derek sounding like a spoilt child now that your team might not even reach 5th and the £million game.

And like all our games on a sat MG wont be there either afaik hes jewish and its the Sabbath and that means no work or anything that might constitute work so i doubt he will lose much sleep over it

Let's start with some basic activities from which we refrain on Shabbat:

writing, erasing, and tearing;
business transactions;
driving or riding in cars or other vehicles;
shopping;
using the telephone;
turning on or off anything which uses electricity, including lights, radios, television, computer, air-conditioners and alarm clocks;
cooking, baking or kindling a fire;
gardening and grass-mowing;
doing laundry;

Hopefully we can do a number on them and see what derek complains about next week, be someone else fault as usual

If we beat Leigh I could see a good reason for facilitating the rise of Fax to 6th. That would be amusing.

Squad: Adam O’Brien, Adam Sidlow, Alex Mellor, Dale Ferguson, Dane Nielsen, Danny Addy, Danny Williams, Epalahame Lauaki, Harry Siejka, Jake Mullaney, James Clare, Jay Pitts, Jean-Philippe Baile, Matt Ryan, Matty Blythe, Paul Clough, Ryan Shaw, Steve Crossley, Tom Olbison

Still no Gaskell and surprised and frustrated Lauaki is still in. Also no Purtell. Would sitll liek to see Walshaw. Thank god Chev's not in.

For me:

Jake Mullaney
James Clare
Matty Blythe
Dane Nielsen
Danny Williams
Danny Addy
Harry Siejka
Paul Clough
Adam O’Brien
Adam Sidlow
Tom Olbison
Matt Ryan
Jay Pitts

Dale Ferguson
Alex Mellor
Epalahame Lauaki
Steve Crossley

No caro either seems odd.

Cant see any other option than what you have Mania, unless Shaw plays FB which i really doubt as he hasnt played in months it seems.

Hope Seijka attacks the line, id be temted to put him at 6, he wasnt terrible at HKR when he did

Maybe Siejka just needs a free reign to play off the cuff and he isn't the organising half Jimmy's being playing him as. He came on against KR when the game was gone and we didn't really have a game plan and took the line on twice and did alright. In fact he probably took the line on more in that game than the entire season.

If we where safe in 4th maybe but id like to see us above Wakey if at all possible, nothing saying they wont finish above them on merit anyway, especially if Widnes show up in force against Leigh might be a bloodbath especialy as they disposed of us and Wakey very easily

Hopefully Addy can organise he has been doing it for a while anyway, and would allow Seijka play as you have said, heres hoping but secretly we all know whats going to happen, he was unlucky to be held up also, what about Sejka as hooker next season?.

Think this will be the line-up as well, perhaps Ferguson starting rather than Ryan, but certainly that 17 anyway. Other than Addy, the other 12 starters are in their actual positions, which would make a nice change.

Not surprised Caro, Walker and Mendeika have been dropped after last week.

Caro got a knock last week.

Still think Neisen needs a big game quite underwhelemed so far with him, might be different with either Clare or williams, outside of him, Caro seemed to always be offside when he plays saw it against Fax with Henry and he was always infront of his centre so hardly got the ball.

I'd pick Clare over Caro any day of the week. Caro's scored a couple of long range tries in the last couple of games but I've yet to actually see him break a tackle.

That team practically picks itself although Blythe doesn't offer anything in the centre. A real lack of fire power in the centres for this one. Shame Purtell is missing for attack (not defense)

Any reason for Purts missing, Blythe recently has done well albeit that was in 2nd row, last time he played centre i dont think he brought his winger into the game at all.

Cant argue about caro, he might be fast (as shown vs Widnes) but he is very slow of the line, should have the strike power with clare and williams.

Shaw at full back, with Sijeka 7 Mullaney 6, Addy at 13

Leigh start as favourites for this game with the bookies. Mr Beaumont has certainly added fuel to the fire of what will already be an explosive game. Expect fireworks, probably a few yellows, but certainly a more controlled game with Silverwood. Grudges, everything on the line for both clubs. Should be a cracker.

I'd be very surprised if it remains 13-a-side for the duration of 80 minutes.

I don't envy the player who will be taking the first carry from the kick off. Both sides are sure to be fired up.

Shame it can't be like a testimonial so we could have a celebrity carry or kick off. Would love to land it on Derek

Certain to be one of your guys.

We kick off, you catch it and run it in.

You kick off, we drop it - it's all part of the plan to test our defence, early doors!

Don't rule Gaskill make an appearance.

Does he not have to be in the 19 man squad to be in contention for selection?

Technically yes but the RFL have let all teams get away with it all year. Siejka wasn't in 19 last week, Godinet wasn't in 19 for Wakefield against us. RFL usually turn a blind eye to it.

Who is more 'out of form' Leigh or Bradford ? I predict a Bradford win....unfortunately.
