Its as simple as you state, the NR Cup that is. Plus RLfans is cack at the moment as this should have been in last post

Cheers for that Matt but who have we signed up for next season.

One thing that did cross my mind is if they somehow seed the draw - good for avoiding Featherstone, less good if we're wanting Halifax to do us a favour and knock Fev out on our behalf




23 names (I think) were mentioned by Rowls.

Brierley, McNally, Littler, Gardner, Higson, Pownall, Maden, Ridyard, Beswick, Penkywicz, Nicholson, Coyle, Finnegan, Taylor, Goulden, Ryan Duffy, Ostick, Parker, Briscoe, Rowe and others who I can't remember

Cheers for that Matt,
The big push should now start for hitting the 1,700 which should be easily achievable with a club of our size.
On that note though was there any mention of Fri night fixtures ?

PS :
I presume 'dashing young chap' now means something else these days or else you could be done by the trade descriptions act


Have you donated you raffle winnings to the Jambos cause ?

A very positive meeting, and like trev said, just think were we where at this time last last year, it reakky is a credit to ALL involved at the club. Also trev said to me after meeting, we has requested the majority of game to be played on a sunday, but will have to see what the rfl fixtures planners come back with, 75% of people cant be wrong.

And Hopkins and Thornley and Aspinwall and somebody whose name began with an S I think.

Hi Guys, just felt I should nip on and apologise for the radio failure tonight.

There's nothing worse than sitting there with everything going wrong and knowing there's people out there just waiting to listen. Unfortunately nothing we tried would work, it looks to me now like the intermittent connection crashed part of the server software, once I realised that we could publish an alternative link to connect but sad to say it was a little late.

Fred will be posting his video soon so not all is lost but I am sorry to those who were disappointed by our failure, I assure you that you weren’t as disappointed as we were.

Bit low on numbers in the pack. Apart from hooker we only have Finnegan, Taylor, Goulden, Ryan Duffy, Ostick, Parker, Briscoe, Rowe.
(Duffy & Rowe are untried at this level)



Oh forgot ..... Hopkins. Did he mention Thornley? Plus 2 pies (1 hopefully Spencer).

Singleton?

Good to see the club is back operating at a sustainable and realistic level. Hopefully average of 1,700 can be met, with the chance of a cup run.

Need a couple more props, although Ryan Duffy had a good year with Barrow looking forward to seeing him this season. Anyone of Spencer/Crosby/Burke would do nicely from Wigan.

I think the signing of Higson will mean Littler moving into the 2nd row.

Sounds like positive news, 1700 is doable easily as it sounds like we're back to Sundays.

Come on Leyth, excited for this season now.

Must be getting old. PR was talking about Tom Spencer being a possibility on DC.

I'd be suprised if we get Tom Spencer, Wigan's pack is thin on the ground, especially if Hock goes too.

Yes, Andy Thornley has signed. I suppose there are back row options with Beswick and Littler/Gardner too. However, it was mentioned that we had 18 signed up for the Under 23's so there should be an element of cover from there, for the forwards.

For me last nights Forum was full of Positive vibes , from the position we where in last year at this time , the Board ,PR and his staff , and the Players have worked wonders , at a decent price i will back us to finish top of the League , and hopefully get to Blackpool .

When PR announced his playing Squad last night , we seem to have many options in the Pivot positions , which is very good ,hopefully these play makers can release Ryan Brierley to do his stuff , and its a case of Happy Days



.

Im really looking forward to next season , with the addition of the DRs ,our squad is stronger than last year , we just need a few more Fans through the Turnstiles now to show Faith in the lads , i was also impressed with the way PRs backroom staff spoke last night .

Was there any mention of any friendlies to be arranged over the Xmas period, not been online for a while so haven't heard much lately.

Salford 30 Dec and Pies 6 Jan both at home.

We always beat those two clubs these days.



It is many seasons since we have lost 2 the Pies even though we have played them a couple of times.

As usual Owd Un your memory is fading , Wigan have beaten us at the LSV , a couple of years ago , when they sent a Full Strength team .Charlie knows

.

We beat them last season and the season before.

The previous season they got lucky due to some bewildering refereeing decisions.

Go and hava a Ribena and a lie down.

May be , but you said "MANY SEASONS ", as i have said they have won at the LSV ,and as ive missed todays Hydrotherapy Session , i will be having a lie down

.

You mentioned Tom Spencer also , i was talking to him at the Gym the other week and he said he was 90% sure to be back at Leigh next year .

I'd love to have Spencer back next season he was excellent for us & more than adequately replaces Bibey as he's a big strong unit & is exactly what we need big front rowers in't middle of park

Typical, working both days!

I know PR is a Fan of Spencer , at last nights Forum , Paul said given the choice between Paul Prescott and Tom Spencer , he would pick Spencer every time , also saying Spencer had bought into the Leigh Centurions way of doing things and was at home and enjoyed it with us .

The presentation about the survey (very well presented by the two chaps from the University of Huddersfield by the way, one of whom has been converted to supporting Leigh as a result of the work involved!) mentioned that 75% of the 500+ that responded showed a strong preference for Sunday games, so presumably it's just a case of seeing what the RFL come back with in terms of fixture clashes with the pussy cats and going from there after the draft.

I will actually be donating to the Jambo cause once they decide to release tickets to Hibs for the New Year derby (assuming they're still in existence by then!)
