I've heard some more team news....
Pants dropped
and
Cox out

Higham is on the bench.

For a change

Please God no!

TS said Briers would be fit for friday

Woof!

Briers tweeted today that he's had a virus this week. Don't know if that means he'll be up for playing on Friday...

Wonder if hes any good at slapping pensioners!!

might be a computer virus

This is cool, but what sort?

Is he a logician, a metaphysician, an epistemologist or an ethicist?

I think we should be told.

Oh, good.

Can he explain Plato's simile of the cave and Roland Barths Death of the Author to me? Because I haven't a clue.

This week's Most Cerebral Post award goes to....

But....... can ducks walk backwards ?

Yes they can. Well, this one can

Tim Roby (Referee) is only 21 or 22 I think, this is only his second ever SL game. Lets hope he doesn't spoil the game through inexperience on the bigger stage, like a certain 'James Child' does week in week out.

Roby reffed Leigh's first game with Widnes, a couple of weeks ago. He let the game flow and we hardly noticed him. Vikings' fans of course, may have a different interpretation of him letting the game flow!

I wish the lad well on his career as a ref. I imagine its not easy having thousands of people shouting at you all match. So long as he doesn't turn into one of those gits who thrive on the abuse I hope he establishes himself. Ref's if they do their job correctly, shouldn't be noticed at all. Your always going to get knobs who shout at any decision, but the majority of rugby fans I've met call things pretty true (Forums discounted from this!!)

Tim Roby is an excellent refreeing who manages the game and players very well, doesn't just penalise everything all the time. Hopefully will give us a good flowing game. Having the amazing first name Tim obviously helps his cause

out of interest, what's happened to Mr Laringitis (Ian Smith)
All he seems to do, is video reffing for Sky games, is he injured/retired

Just as long as Roby DOESN'T turn out to be an egotistical little pr1ck, like the walking endofabell that was Ronnie Laughton.
Anybody remember this helmet doing press-ups infront of the south stand, in a vest about 4or5 years ago. K N O B

He retired from full refereeing I think, just does video reffing and work in the RFL now.

Can he explain Plato's simile of the cave and Roland Barths Death of the Author to me? Because I haven't a clue.'"

...ahh, but I bet you can't put a Rowntree's Fruit Pastille in your mouth without chewin' it !!!!

That's my next task



But there is the philosophical theory of sceptism- are we, or the fruit pastle really here? Is the fruit pastile a trick of our decieved senses, where we are just some form of thinking thing- a brain in a jar somewhere? Descartes 'I think, therefore I am' or 'Cogito Ergo Sum'

come on Sub, Wiganers sometimes come on here, they're still struggling with Janet and John.
Your mentioning Descartes will just make gravy come out of their ears.

Anyway, Enicomb is more of a Marcel Proust, A La Recherche du temps perdu, man

I'm more interested in free will and detminism. Satre; Churchland and dear old Hume. Dterminism, Pre-destination and Fatalism- a lot of rugby fans must be fatalist I think...

Plus the study of the idea of God is always god- religious evidence, verification principle, design theory, Paley's rubbish analogy of a watch maker etc...
