looking forward to it. Would rarther see us play a more balanced team and make it a fairly even game, rarther than just watch the 1st team demolish them

jump on my coach and have a drinkies

Is there room for two more on this coach, sir?

Are they all the same person

Oh how I have missed these gags. Does not everyone fear that TS will field a weakened side and PC a strong side and hence.......

Yes, it scares me so much I can't sleep at night worrying about it.

Seriously, it's pre season friendly, get a grip. I couldn't care less who wins a training exercise.

could be for all i know





nah... they not all different bless them

Surely with TS in charge we won't make the same mistakes we made last season and give the first team blokes 40 minutes each pre-season. Jimmy's idea of keeping everyone in cotton wool backfired on him and contributed hugely in his removal from the job imo. We should play everyone who is fit and available in all 3 games.

I was reffering to those who are looking forward to "stuffing Widnes", will the Turkey be practise? I agree with you entirely. I am interested in League and Cup performances, warm-up games are purely that and gloating if we beat the smellies will be frankly hollow. If/when they return to SL, well that will be very different.

Good post.

Its a Widnes v Wire game with bragging rights at stake. Not much to do on boxing day so get yourself down.

Sorry to burst your bubble mate but I've got plenty of other things to do and anyone who takes "bragging rights" from the result of a training game is a bit...well...pathetic.

Scroooge, were is your xmas spirit?? it will be great a bumper crowd of 3000 and about 58 substitutions. And silverware at the end for the winners. The atmosphere will be immense too, similar to that of Preston North End reserves playing away at Darlington on a wet Wednesday night.

the term 'MIMO' Springs to mind, miss it, miss out

yea mate

Bragging rights to what i think the chemicals have got to you, I can guarantee that the side you face on Boxing day will be nothing like the first team. It will be vey interesting to see if you can beat our academy team though.
As somebody said above when you beat us in the league or even in the challenge cup. Now thats bragging rights.
I really would love Widnes to be back where they belong in Super League, lets get the real derbys on.

I will be washing my hair boxing day.

Depends what team they put out and funds etc

i'll be going cant wait. i expect at least two of the new signings to play.

My coach places are dwindling fast so book asap i've booked a 70 seater which is over half full

We won't be. At a wedding in Leicester the following day. Who gets married at xmas???? It's already stupidly expensive

Oddly, lots of people it seems.

Not only that, further down the line you're giving folk the opportunity to combine wedding & anniversary presents, stupid. If you're lucky, you'll get extra homebase vouchers.

Never go to many friendlies and this one will be the same.

Surely make an exception for Sinfield's debut?

You're lucky it's only Leicester, I'm flying out to Melbourne on Christmas day, for a wedding on the 29th. I don't want to think of the cost!

Same here. I'm not bothered what team we put out, I'm just looking forward to seeing some RL again, especially in a game against our nearest and dearest!!
