if your straight line is sideways that is

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

Played Prop for Ince rose bridge So id be 10


Also played wing once and number 6 in france

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.

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.

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.

defo centre or wing ,not a bad combo right cross and mr binder on the wings

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.

If Dave started complaining about the lack of service I would have to chin him.

Mind you we would be good at sledging the opposition

cp:"Rhino_forever is too slow to be a fullback, Dave"
daveo:"no, he come through the ranks and scored 18 tries in 13 games"
cp: "I disagree, the coaching methods at Leeds are - "
daveo"FFS cpwigan! bloody defend you've let in SouthStander08"
cp:"DaveO it's your mistake... you out of position"

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:

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)

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