What do you mean 'No Chance'. I've just told you.

I'd love to see him in the team, but I'd love to see him in the team for years to come, not just Friday night. I'm sure he's taking & the club are taking the best medical advice possible and ensuring that his comeback is handled well, I'm sure it's planned, with targets in mind and with a view to Chris getting himself fully, 100% fit before he exposes himself to the intensity of SL, which we've seen is as intense as it's ever been.

There's enough people willing to have a go at him for his injury jinx, if he's looking after himself properly & nursing himself back, let him be I say. It may well be before that he's rushed himself back and that hasn't worked so It's good to see that the cautious approach is being taken.

On a slightly different note ive had a text this morning from a friend of mine who lives in St Helens.

He is not a massive RL fan but knows a few of the players.

Anyway his text said that Martin Gleeson is heading back to Saints with a transfer fee involved, hence the reason why he is not playing on friday. The transfer will be completed next week aparantly.

Its probably just a wind up but my pal doesn't really go in for stuff like that.

Dont shoot me though, im just passing on info/bull.

What was the point of including him in the 19 man squad if there was no intention of playing him?

Lowes did say in his interview that a few of the long termers are 'Not quite ready'.

I dont dispute that matey.

But you didn't answer my original question.

Jeepers.

You do love a good rumour you don't you ? I remember preseason you moaning that there wasn't enough rumours. Your making up for it now.

Why not. Every club in SL does, that's the way it works 17 into 19, all of them can't play.

Your missing the point, Bridge getting another 80 mins at Hunslet is another step on his comeback trail. That's the massive positive for me. Why expose a bloke to SL, when he's missed the best part of a years rugby & is obviously still not 100% fit.

i don't believe that.

Jeez, can you not read chesh air???? FFS.

JWP has already confirmed that Bridge aint playing on friday yet you still put him in at full back



Come on man get a grip. Listen to what JWP says.

There is nothing wrong with a good rumour cocker.

If it does come off you know where you heard it first

Well, we'll see won't we. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows.

On Friday it will be 2 days short of a year since Bridge did his Achilees at Knowsley Raod. He has had no SL action since then. I do not think it would be right to throw him back again against the Saints for his first game back.

Hicks at FB, Riley and Penny on the Wings works for me.

Would you have Bridge on the bench laa?

Nope

Just seen Gleeson at the ground walking to his car - seemed to have no effects of injury however im no doctor - was on his mobile maybe he was negotiating his Saints contract

i just got off the phone to a mate and he said that the saints rumour is true and that long and gleeson have arranged with their mascot that gleeson is gonna wear the dog suit on friday night for a bit of the game and proper wind wire fans up

disgraceful

What a disgrace!
Circa £200,000 transfer fee for a player who's career looked to be in tatters: banned from playing; name dragged through the mud; doubts whether a top club would ever touch him with a bargepole, etc.
Then Warrington are gracious enough to allow him to train with the first team squad, despite not being able to play due to his ban, causing no end of disruption, no doubt, simply so he could be fit to prolong his international career.
Following that, the club are 'sympathetic' to his desires to play in the NRL and are willing to release him a year early from his contract to allow him to go to the NRL and THIS is how he repays the club? Cloak and dagger negotiations with Sintelluns? The club that just tossed him aside during his hour of need? Again, it's a disgrace.

Reserves game is cancelled.

Do you watch the reserves much Panties ? Or is a Saturday a bad day for you like with stuff to do at the stables, weighing room etc. I try to watch them when I can like, Saturdays like, sometimes I go scaring ponies from behind a tree.

Any idea where there is a list of reserve and junior fixtures for this year?

Probably WOTT, so you only have to hold on to 2am tonight when he's killing time till the acid kicks in, or whatever else he's doing that causes his post midnight scattergun e posts.

im pretty certain that will be the startin line up, cant see it being anything else

Sniffing giblets.

So, your pretty certain that McCarthy who's never played a SL game will get in over Blythe, who was magnificent at Saints last year ?

woflie is gonna get carved in the half time challenge if gleeson really is going in the dog cossie
