I for one am a massive fan. Especially of home grown talent. And a nice chap off the pitch.

He's one of the most excting up and coming talents we've seen in a long time and i think if he gets game time and experience then he'll develop well. At the moment he's a diamond in the rough but a clever lad on the pitch. I remember watching his brother at Bradford in the challenge cup (quarters/semis not sure) in 2006. He stopped vinakolo* dead in his tracks on the wing and it was only lukes 5/6th game under Harrison which tool some doing a true hunger for the game. And hes become a true asset. A brick wall in defence an top tackler all bar 2 games in 2009.

And then I watched Toby do a similar thing in his debut agInst HUD. A ball steel one on one with man of steel Brett hodgson..... He reminds me of a young Gareth hock. Strong skilled and hungry. One to keep your eye on anyway. And one Wigan are keeping a very close eye on so RL weekly says.

So glad for him like you say such a nice lad, i was lucky enough to be part of the coaching team at leigh east that coached him when he played in the national youth league when he was 17/18 had a feeling then he could go on to better things.

All the same, getting to Leigh from Salford or further afield could prove difficult with British standard road clearing in operation. 5cm and the place shuts down. Hope not!

Not half as bad if you look at the Warrington one, which after all, the LSV is closer to

Sounds to me like you are looking for an excuse not to see your lads get tonked

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing.

See you there then

Cmon down lads games on on and the club have organised some pre match fun

1.45 Miss biggest ever nipple competition, the organisers are expecting a world record due to the favourable conditions
2.15 Hot curry eating competition, eating snow will lead to disqualification, yellow or not.
2.45 Singing of festive songs to begin led by the Eskimo all male choir.

Enjoy the day

Sounds good. I'll snowboard my way down from Littleborough.

Careful of those speed cameras

In truth it'll be a 3 hour bus trip today. (I must be mad) So, I could really do with knowing if it's DEFINITELY on prior to setting off within the hour. What's the craic Maurice? Are we on? Oh, do I need to get myself a ticket prior to getting in today or can I pay at the gate?

they may let you pay on the gate but it's only been done for a handfull of games so you'll most likely have to purchase them at the ticket office at the frtont of the LSV stadium but you can deffinitely get them at the ground see you all later

Many thanks.

Red Preacher, I'm going from Rochdale, pm me if you want a lift,

game confirmed ON

Not sure if this is too late but wasnt going to attend today but change is circumstances mean I can go! Never been LSV is it best to park at ground? It's Only off Atherleigh way I think? and finally what stand is everyone going in?

Help appreciated
Thanks

There are loads of spaces on the LSV car park & there free you'll probably be guided to them by a traffic steward when you drive to the ground complex via a small round about

Anyone got any score updates? Sat at Keele Services on M6 on way down to Essex. Would much rather be freezing my nads off at the LSV! Weather is bloody awful here, hope it's better up there!

Was told it was 12-6 to us at half time.

Tries from Clay & Godwin.

Team was something like this I think -

Gibson
Broughton
Nero
Gleeson
Clay
Ratchford
M Smith
Neal
Owen
Jewitt
Sidlow
Spencer
Wild

Lots of youngesters on the bench + Godwin

12-12
