VL. Its 9.20pm on Saturday night as I type this, but my mind is never away from thinking about this game. It will be 3am sunday morning in New Zealand when the game kicks off and I cant wait. To the players, coaches and all the fans and especially DB I wish you all the very best and will be glued to the tv and hope and prey we will still be in super league at the end of it. COME ON LEYTHERS GET BEHIND THE BOYS AND CHEER THEM HOME.

In many ways, Vancouver & Kiwi, you are better off being so very far away. Bongser will be a measly fifteen miles (though it will feel like half the world away) from LSV having been denied the day off work. In protest, he is shattering the dress code in his Cherry & White and, as you can gather from the timing of this post, intends doing naff all work!! Phone charged up to the brim for a first half on mobdro. Was intending watching the second half at the Ape & Apple (as he did for the MPG last year) but John Dalton St is cordoned off by police. That hostelry's loss will be The Egerton's gain.

Come on Leythe! Slay the dragons in the first half so that Bongser can enjoy his Wobbly Bob!

Must admit I've not been keen on the French since they insisted we rip out our orchards so they could sell us their Golden Delicious crap, so get em stuffed.

I can't wait for this one and as much as I would like the Leigh fans to make the trip to the Shay next season I will be cheering them on as I think expanding our competition beyond the UK is ridiculous so have no qualms about Catalans demise in the slightest.

That's exactly how I see it.. you get lynched on VT for voicing that opinion though.

I've noticed!
