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.

Just like you FA, a golden oldie.

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!

I like you Alan

The feeling is mutual Roger!

Hotel Room, anybody?

I think ten minutes behind a skip might be more appropriate.

Erm... back to squad requirements.

I see that Brett Ferres has been suspended by Giants. I hear we could be on the lookout for [uanother[/u 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.

Mock you not, after all second row is the base template for all rugby players; show a bit of pace and you can double up in the threequarters, good hands and you're a shoo-in for emergency loose or hooker, when you grow bit older and gain a little more timber you move up to prop. Jimmy has clearly seen the light.....
