I know not everyone will agree ( maybe even the players ) but I think we should rest as many as poss on sat as we have much bigger fish to fry coming up soon !!! I'd go with something along these lines.....

1. Pownall
2. Clay
3. Maden
4. Henderson
5. Mcgilvary
6. Brierley
7. Duffy
8. Ostick
9. Nicholson
10. Gallagher
11. Hopkins
12. Rowe
13. Briscoe

14. Singleton
15. Nash
16. Goulden
17. ridyard

I totally agree play as many of the younger players give all players carrying any knocks a rest iclude duffs in that too, as he got a knock again Sunday play Nicho at 9, play Rowe, Singleton and any other young ones we have, if JT back he needs a run out give him half a game.

Nash went off injured at Dewsbury and did not come back on. Hope he is OK.

The rumour mill tells me a Miners player will be in the squad.

Wonder if we play that American football lad?

i said this on the mini bus on way back from dews, play any ofour young lads, and rest anybody with any niggling little knocks, cant see jt playing, rowley stated in le that he MAY have to have a knee reconstruction, all depends on scan results.

what if we do as you suggest and just happen to lose. All the usual moaners will be out in force complaining as to how we are a poor team,costing us loss of speccies for future games. Also bear in mind that the eventual winners of the comp will be "possibly?" be the team scoring the most points (according to rumours) .A can't win situation!

I thought only Fev or Pia could actually lift the trophy?

That was the way it was reported, when they announced the details......the points total will be used to decide which country has the better comp, in the event of the results of the four games being equal (i.e. 2 wins each, 1 win 1 draw each, 4 draws.)

Although I have heard there might be a special award to the game that brings in a 3 figure crowd!!!

We could do with the prize money. Apparently there is some

Josh Ward 16 year old from miners u'18s and leigh u'18s could be playing. Hes a halfback.

From what I can gather he has been training with 1st team so it is very likely he will be playing some part

Rumour mill says a player from Leigh Easts might play too.

Sheff next Thursday is more important than this waste of time comp....... as many young un`s as poss I say.

I also heard Mr Chairman fancied a run out.

Rest Duffy get young Nicky ratcliffe from East as hooker

No harm in blooding some youngsters especially the odd amatuer player as they'll be playing in the hope to be signed up with a good performance

Lee Gittins from Leigh Miners open age along with Josh Ward from Miners 18s and Alex Robson from Leigh East who has come over to Australia for a while, are the players who will be involved apparently.

[url=http://www.leighminersrangers.net/openage/?p=1332See here[/url. Looks like Josh could be the first Salmon Army member to play for Leigh!

If you go on youtube and search for the leigh v fax 18s. Josh is the number 7 who scores the first try and also the kicker.

does that mean the salmon army will actually come to a game then ?

Four of them were at the Dewsbury game but several of them went to New York to prepare for our game against Sheffield.

Well that's what one of them told me' but knowing that lot they probably went for a few drinks and lots of greasy food.
