Why, will the ref need them to do a quiz every few minutes?

I'd hate to think Kurt was set to have the same amount of mickey taken out of him as his dad suffered.

Roy has kept the RL after dinner speakers corcuit in gags for about 25 years.

Ha, there have been a few in RL like that. Long ago I read a biography of 'Flash' Flanagan, of Hull KR fame, and tales of his journey through life [and RL] were absolutely hilarious. I just wish I could remember some of them....actually, there was one story - Flash got picked to play for GB against France in Paris and was told to turn up at the airport. However, the poor bloke didn't even know he needed a passport [let alone had one!] so never made it.

Still like the old Northern one about when we signed Jeff Grayshon. First game, Foxy tells Jeff to "go give it some welly in the first half, don't keep anything back and I'll pull you off at half time"

Jeff: "Thanks Mr. Fox, that's great. At Dewsbury, we only got lemons"

That was the gist of my question. One of my favourite RL moments was a televised cup match in the 80s. Not long after the 82 Aussies had revolutionised the game with long kicks early in the sets. Saints copied this, hoying the ball down the field with Roy about 50m in front of the kicker but 2m from the catcher. Roy obviously saw the chance to pole axe the catcher. Someone shouted to Roy he was offside, for a split second he stopped, then thought better of it & decked the catcher. Penalty. The look of disbelief & confusion on Roy's face when he got up was classic.

Deserved more than it got IMO.

Thanks for that. It's always a pleasure to share views with Bradford (and Halifax ) fans, who all (well mostly! ) come across as well informed about our Game.

On the issue of our 'Owner', he is exceedingly passionate about his club, and RL in general. So, unlike the Salford owner, who is a comparative newcomer to RL, he does come from a strong background of Rugby League, and the Leigh club. However, that hasn't stopped him from doing/saying things that are cringeworthy to Leythers, as well as to fans of other clubs!

The feeling is mutual Roger!

Erm... back to squad requirements.

I see that Brett Ferres has been suspended by Giants. I hear we could be on the lookout for another 2nd rower, worth a punt? Hear the lad is OK.

Seriously though, is Lowes planning to try and be the first team to field a 1-13 consisting of only second rows???

I don't see Ferres returning to us in the championship. The guy's in the England side and playing in a top 8 team.
