Nowt wrong with Platt waz I lived there once - mind I was only six months old and too young to get scarred by the experience

Now Now Captain , as you well know , im one of the Napoli Carolis ,and have been a Butts Bridger for 50 years ,my in-laws are the pies, they are from Worsley Mesnes and Hawkley Hall , though i never talk about that .

I do hope to see you more often this coming season to pick your Brains , straight out of your head , i will also give you a couple of tips to Back .

hope the ones who call us moaners have the same way of thinking when we start the season minus half a dozen players finnigan suspected broken foot coyle broken hand goulden injured aspinwall injured 4 key players

Trouble being is that the players needed the game time and the club needed the finance -not that there will be much after the bill for the undersoil heating goes in - , injuries are a fact of rugby life unfortunately.

I'm sure the players much preferred playing in the heavier snow compared to the horrible sleet that was coming down at about half 6.

I'm just glad that in years to come and folk are talking about it, I'll be able to say I WAS THERE.

Complaining about the cold all the way through the game







Sorry Mish only jesting
