and for the second time Im going watching my son

Thers are two other finals on the day the 14,s and 16,s.
Obviously im not a neutral but given leigh at Batley and a cracking derby for a national title i know where I will be going.

And as for the Miners steering lads away from Leigh

Mort,Ridyard and A,J must have got the wrong directions.

OK looks like were all going to Salford. Cant wait.

I think imleythbenter suggested this in an earlier post on this thread

Good luck to both teams youve done the town proud

Play the final at the club who got the franchise before us and bet they can t put one team of lads together from their own place never mind two

Could've been worse, for the last few years it has been at the South Leeds Stadium .... Salford is as good as a home Final!!

Think we upset them last year when we asked "as the North West Counties have had a clean sweep again do we now get to keep the stadium too?" Think playing it at Salfords' dump was probably their idea of revenge!

Touchy buggers them BARLA Yorkys!!

Well you can't expect a Rail operator to consider Leigh as a destination!

Congrats to both teams. Of course, as Richard Lewis knows, there's no youth development in Leigh.

Someone should invite him to the game, over to you Mr Latham and Mr Doyle.

East poor discipline is there for all to see. A fair old few red cards and the match at West Cumbria was abandoned for fighting.

To be fair to tree frog, I sadly agree, if East can't keep 13 men on the park for the full 80, then the cup may go to 'them'. But I hope it will be another trophy that is waiting for the cabinet to arrive...

13v13, it is going to be a bloody good game, between two good local teams, and I can't wait for it.

Fair do's though Mick, Morty was at leigh since he was 13, Riddy was at Wire (yes I know he was in the 18's at leigh as well) and AJ was hardly a junior when he signed, so he does have a point when you look around at the Leigh lads around the game.

To be fair - it's not Leigh Centurions who have develped these kids - it's the overworked and unrewarded coaches at East & Miners that get them to where they are !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
