<r>Early warning for you if you are about to post - the 19-man squad has changed. Mathers is out with a dead leg <I><s>[i]</s>(yes, yes, I know - hard to resist the cruel jokes there<e>[/i]</e></I>), Bailey with a hamstring injury and Paul P with a back injury. Lee Mossop and Eamon are added to the ...

<t>Welcome to the site, MassiveT!<br/> <br/> You'll be picking up a few pointers about other site members' attitudes already, no doubt. <br/> <br/> If you want a nice, long thread just mention Stu (I agree with you, by the way) and if you can manage to drag in Nobby and Richard Mathers as well, so m...

<t>I'll keep you posted, A To B. Have you got a "please excuse A To B" note for the can bar staff? They'll wonder where you've got to!<br/> <br/> Missed the Cas game because of commitments to one of those things that's more important than rugby - family - so I'm hoping the lads get their act togethe...

<r>We're going to be publicising it to the media and here is a preview of the press release which gives you details of when where and who is involved:<br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Rugby league has a new trophy - The Mike Gregory Challenge Cup. A specially formed Chorley Spartans side takes on a Latchfo...

<t>Well, the squad has been named, though it's not very enlightening about what the starting 13 will be yet of course.:<br/> <br/> Richard Mathers, Mark Calderwood, Darrell Goulding, George Carmont, Pat Richards, Trent Barrett, Thomas Leuluai, Stuart Fielden, Mickey Higham, Iafeta Paleaaesina, Garet...

If there are no hold-ups, this would allow him to arrive next week in time to be considered for the clash with Harlequins a week on Friday."<br/> <br/> The visa' the easy bit,...

<r>Jeez, Dave, is it so hard? The question is simply: why kick off until you know (I'll repeat that - <U><s>[u]</s>KNOW<e>[/u]</e></U>) what we have for next year? We can all speculate, have an opinion and guess what might happen but there's no point getting actually hot under the collar until you k...

<t>Yet again, I can only ask why we don't wait until we see what we've actually got for 2009 before kicking off. Everyone's grumbling about us not having a fast winger when they don't even know if we will sign one or not, or even if we have already signed one in Phelps. <br/> <br/> Sometimes on here...

<t>Thank goodness for a breath of fresh air and common sense from Sutty and A To B - I was beginning to think I'd get to the Quins game and find a crowd of about 100 because everyone else had either slit their throat or was queuing up outside the Reception door with pick-axe handles waiting for Ian ...
