............................and the memories come flooding back

I dont go on the Leigh board much now, one of the mods finally lost his patience with me and gave me a 'verbal' warning. He seemed pent up with rage so i thought ill leave them be. You dont want to cross a Wiganer on heat.

that stuff might of been bad for a few weeks but we still finished 2nd.

Both good players though at this level!!

True, but we will be signing replacements. We have no reason to panic buy now, and I'm sure we'll bring in even better players.

We will enjoy them while we have them, and then they can fook off!!!

You finished 2nd, well done. You should have walked the league and you know it. Fact of the matter is, your backside is twitching as there is a chance you are not going to make the final and you will just two attempts to tick one of those elusive boxes!!

Morro is a fantastic lad and few would argue that when he's on the pitch he's a great player. The one problem with Iain is that he takes a hell of a lot of knocks and will generally miss a fair few games throughout the year, i think Widnes know this and the fact that he's a big wage puller then a decision has to be made.


Good luck to him at Fev and he will always get a warm recpetion at Widnes.

Grayshon is a good solid signing.


You still aint as good as the Vikings though.

we need a stand off for next year

we have Makkali Aizue on the way

luke Branaghan could be on the way as well.

we should have won the league with the position we were in a month to 6 weeks ago.

i am nervous i am really nervous mainly about yourselves Widnes.

if we meet before the final. we know to see a pact North Stand and that makes me nervous. plus your a talented side. plus thackery is playing better than any other back in either of our 2 sides.

i am nervous, which is why i am praying we dont need to face you till the final.

Anyone who thinks we've a chance of a licence ahead of Widnes and Toulouse must have a head full of monkey spunk. It plays no part in my thinking at all. All i'm interested in is a good game of Rugby League, not box ticking.

Perhaps you'd think differently if you thought Halifax had a real chance of a licence in 2012, and all you had to do was tick a box?

we dont.

its between you and Toulouse.

even if we win the league the next 2 years and win the play offs this year we still wont get in.

I know.

What I'm saying is that if you did You'd think differently about ticking boxes. There's also no reason to take some moral high ground and stand there finger wagging at the concept.

I don't sell my principles. Quality rugby league on the pitch is all i'm concerned with - what follows off the pitch as a result is in the hands of the RFL. I stopped playing top trumps when i was eleven.

It's true. So true. In the quest for the holy grail, you've lost sight of what the game is all about.

I like it here, from my lofty perch

so it will be the french so they can have a derby

Bloody mutants

To be honest I dont think we will got a franchise anyway, the only way we will get in is if we win the next two GF's and the next NRC. I reckon it will be Fax and Barrow in the final. I have a feeling we have left ourselves with too much to do this year.

there would always be some people that may think that ticking boxes may make a difference.

it might not be on the list for the boxes to be ticked but you can guarentee that the only thing the RFL will be bothered with will be the location.

No I haven't. It doesn't mean I've lost sight of anything. It doesn't mean I don't want to see great RL or see us win Grand Finals. But the whole ethos of RL as a competition has changed. Sport is also about progression and endevouring to be the best. Unfortunately, in this league, you have to tick a f*****g stupid box before you can even try. Therefore it's important for a club with ambition to do so. Our reaction is a sort of realpolitik.


Would that be with your owl?

Smashing

I have taught you well master Luke

I don't agree with what this tw*t has done, but I have no choice but to deal with the reality.
