Peter's are the new makers of the Super League pie.
If they see some much needed boost they might get on board with Crusaders.
Nice drop is Brains as the lads and lasses who have come down will agree.
A bit rubbish when you work in Cardiff, like I do, and get off the train in the morning and you can smell the Brewery.

Aaaah !!!! Thanks for that. I KNEW i'd seen it in Morrisons!! I caught a fleeting glimpse on the shelf when shopping but i was in a hurry. I thought i'd lost me marbles - Super League? Pies? Oh yes.
I guess the Piggy Riddell jokes have already been hammered on this then?

I bet they have by Saints fans.
Is it true a group of Widnes fans saw said pies in a town super market and vandalized the pies and the fridge they were kept in.
Yobs.

| Not noticed Peter's Pies in Leigh, but then we don't have a Morrison's. Would have expected to see them on sale at games but it appears to not be the case, hence my mention of the adverts at Swinton.
Never mind drinking Brains SA, it's bloomin' excellent in a steak & ale pie, as served in Bridgend Wetherspoon's

If they want to get a second team in France they have to start somewhere.
Widnes have shown in the NRC that when sides have a bit of beef about them they're beatable and I think that will be the case this season at places like Whitehaven.
I know it's not much consolation for Toulouse but it was one of the most difficult games to begin with and they can only really improve on that.

I'd often see Billy an hour later sharing a beer with his rival, with both blokes sporting half a dozen stitches in their scones. They were a breed apart, fornt-rowers - blokes like Bluey were proof of that." Johnny Raper on Billy Wilson and other front rowers of the time:44393.gif |

| Toulouse do not look physically big enough and are so off the pace defensively it was pretty worrying. However this is a huge step up for some of their players who will not be used to this sort of intensity. They can only get better I suppose, and I'm sure they will. They know what they need to improve on now (a lot of things) and can build on that over this season and next. That's the beauty of not being able to be relegated, there's no need to panic.
As for Widnes: excellent. Attacking flair. Defensively strong. Good territory. Good amount of possession. They just looked like they were doing everything right. Toa Kohe-Love their only weak link, giving away penalty after penalty. They're looking good on the park, the crowd was big, stadium looks fantastic, they've got English coaching staff, a lot of talented young English players, good sponsorship and are run well. They look like a SL side in the Championship at the moment. They have a lot of obstacles to overcome as a heartlands club if they want to get into the SL, and if they continue in this vein then they can't be turned down for 2012.
Can Halifax and Leigh top that? We'll see. This competition is looking good!

Think I'll take that line as well, but they're going to have to show a hell of a lot of improvement if they're going to be anything other than a bottom three side.

Not sure i comprehend. Licence applications start from scratch and there'll be plenty of other "heartlands" clubs going through the same process.

Bit of confusion there. Sporting Life site gives it as 1,700
