According to his column in the Standard, Tony Rea has invited Martin Offiah to address the Broncos at some point before the semi final. I hope that helps, though I can't help thinking that maybe mr Shaun Edwards might have been useful, if he was available and willing...

Blimey I hope he doesn't offer to act as their agent and then convince them to leave with immediate effect!

I always got the impression Rea and Edwards didn't get on particularly well. Offiah could be interesting though.

Shaun Edwards does not suffer fools. At all.

I suspect Gower was the same.

Completely agree! and Gower as well, wonder what Jamie thinks?

IIRC Edwards get a talk to the players early in the season. So he and TR must get on!

to present the cup shirts right? on an unrelated note, wonder if we'll be wearing them this week?

Well, Wigan are at home so they'll be playing what-passes-for-cherry and white, won't they? So we'll be wearing blue drab.

well although it's all been set up as such, they're not technically at home though are they?

Maybe I should have put a smiley on the original post.


I think that they toss a coin to decide who has first choice of shirts. It'll be an RFL-supplied coin with two heads and Wigan will get to make the call.

NO WORRIES......
Our opponents in the final will not clash with the Red.....







in equal measure at work
