He's been awesome for us this season. really gutted for the lad.

The lad was playing for Hull KR last year. Has to play with the big boys at some point!

You've just made me really nostalgic for alliance games on a thursday (was it?) night at wilderspool,

being able to sit in teh bevan stand, hearing the players communicating on the pitch, seeing young lads proving themselves against first teamers.

Also where my first love of mike gregory came from, i first got took along by my bro on one of the nights mike was coming back from one of injurys, we went especially to see him. I th8ink that was the start of my Warrington rlfc apprenticeship.

Sorry, thread hijack there, carry on.

Just to return the thread;

Laithwaite had an operation on his ankle at York, and according to his twitter a/c he will be out for about 10 weeks. Not good.

Fridays I think they were. I used to go regularly, they were bloody ace as you say. A South African triallist played one night under the traditional guise of AN Other, scored a try or two and looked handy. I still wonder who he was. Mate told me off for swearing though - said it wasn't appropriate for A team games
