Re: Your Position if you playe...
i would be lucky 7, got the height, the width and the mouth to match a former warriors scrum half!
Plus played scrum half at school when we played rugby

Re: Your Position if you playe...
Me too my school only played union, I once played at full back, caught a high ball and beat 7 players to score under the posts. My teacher/coach who was also the coach of Morley Rugby Union (Wigan Academy once played there when Kevin Brown was a young 'un) at the time gave me a bollocking because I should have kicked the ball and they weren't 'looking for heroes'. A few weeks later we were set the task of writing out the positions for a rugby team. I deliberately wrote out the positions for a league team and spent the rest of my time at school running round the field when everyone else did sports.GeoffN wrote:I had the same problem in my day, my school only played Union, which I hated - usually stood on the wing shivering while the forwards messed about and the fullbacks kicked it to each other.cpwigan wrote:Unfortunately it would change with age. Started as a centre. Played some stand off too. As the waist expanded and the years multiplied loose forward then to prop.
I was a decent left centre with a good right hand hand off,played above my age group etc but unfortunately I am of an age when RL was in the doldrums and they made us play Union so I ended up playing an awful lot of football instead.
Sounds silly now but back then if you were from Standish or Shevington, RL was virtually non existent.

Re: Your Position if you playe...
So, as it stands - the team will be (first come first served basis):
1. MrDave (moved like Richards)
2. mike binder
3. ancientnloyal
4. cpwigan
5. DaveO
6. Wigan_forever1985
7. luke_robinsons_angel
8. medlocke
9. Nobby girl
10. WxmWarrior
11. Mr Stu
12. Shawcross da warrior
13. lucky 13
14. right cross
15. warrior till i die
16. Bear
17. slimshady
Ref - turf
Linesman - Robjoenz
Magic Sponge - Buttmonkey
Is it me, or is the only fault having DaveO and cpwigan playing alongside eachother? they'd just argue about why Mr Stu was out of position.

Re: Your Position if you playe...
He never keeps a straight defensive line Dave O and he is more of an umbrella defence man. Sliding defence may be too up to date for him. :eusa11:ancientnloyal wrote:cp:"Rhino_forever is too slow to be a fullback, Dave"

Always wanted to play full back, never had the chance at school because we had a very good full back (who just happens to be in the Wigan squad)ancientnloyal wrote:So, as it stands - the team will be (first come first served basis):

I think the question is, who would be the captain??
