Took on the might of Super League and BEAT THEM ALL. Wow guys, just wow.......

So a night out on the pish , fair enough , but family and work don't count , so basically none of those places are any ' better ' than Batley

Quite simply because what defines a place is the people that live their , not the size of the place , I have been to London today on business for the first time in over ten years , I have never ' visited ' any of the places you stated apart from pie land ( on the beer ) other than work or sport

what a ridiculous way to run jnr teams! Having watched SG Ball last season you can see that the under 18's here are coached to the same level and style of the senior teams and play with the same intensity and competitivness.

Do they all get a medal at the end of the season for trying?

ps well done Widnes, shows there is plenty of talent in the region.

The future looks bright..................for Salford

Not unless we go into admin again which I seriously doubt as that's the only time they got anyone!

I hope your right, would love to see Widnes in Super League
