It weren't an army camp, that would have been way too obvious so they became farm labourers instead.
It worked in Paul Dixon and Karl Fairbank's day though. |

[quote="headhunter":lnxdgxk2]Union people are idiots. They almost universally accept that league is a better, faster game played by better athletes, yet for some reason they continue to disregard and belittle it. That game is tedious as hell from start to finish. If he'd ever played or even bothered to give more than a fleeting chance to league he would realise that the game is far more 'technical' than Union ever could be. Booting the ball into touch, scrummaging and forming rucks and mauls aren't areas that involve any skill, technique or mental capacity whatsoever. These are clumsy, outdated facets of the game that are also extremely uninteresting to watch and thus have to be defended in some way by people who are too prejudiced to see the truth.[/quote:lnxdgxk2]: |

Are you stupid too?

Wigan have done that the last two pre-seasons. Doesn't seem to have done them any harm. |

Don't let facts get in the way of an idiot making a tool of himself. Let him continue. |

Only if they played Hull every week.
If that was the case, then it'd be a certainty. |

| So that's one in a row then. I reckon we may have been a tad hard on Fallon!  |

Ah, there is nothing quite like the feeling of seeing one of your horrifically mis-judged threads making a re-apearance.
Cheers boys.

| Quote: Fallon "There is a thread about the squad this season I appreciate but I think this season the squad looks very strong, has a good balance and we still have JP and Mags to come back mid season-ish.
We have pace, power, skill and possibly most importantly experience. We have a new ambitious coaching set-up and a number of young players who have SL experience now ready to push some of the old guard for their shirts at both SL and possibly international level.
So, with that in mind can we go this season unbeaten?
I know to some this may seem a ridiculous statement as it is such a difficult thing to do but I honestly believe with a bit of luck we are capable of doing it.'"
I suppose tonight is a bit of consolation for not going unbeaten this season  . |

| lol I wondered where this thread was last week
I actually thought about trolling this forum before the playoff with a "what no Lee Briers dummy spit thread?" before the playoff, so I could have a bit of a laugh at the angry Leeds fans who didn't feel confident enough to make fun of us any more, then I held back....good job I did
In any case, many congratulations to my (adopted) home town team, seeing as I moved to Headingley in September 2004 I think I may have brought good fortune to the city  |

True. Though (with spade back in hand) if we had gone unbeaten we would have course won the league which meant we deserved to win the gf. No, wait, that was Warrington. Oh wait, that's not how the playoffs work.
All's well that ends well. With us now much stronger with Richard Moore wait for the 2012 thread of the same name coming soon.
