Given Leigh are not in the same position as Wigan academically.Do you think Jukesy would have gone the same way if roles where changed?

Me too.

Me 3.

I don't.

You never do,

are you going to wear the Pinstripe Suit at the Dewsbury game?

Interesting choice of phrase, Atomic, Wigginers have meat & tater for brains.
BUT Leythe had to see the new lads go. First full contact match since so many of them arrived. Wane had a look at his lads. Different scenario. We picked up two injuries that we didn't need with a squad way smaller than the Pahs'.

Just been chatting with Salford Skeletor who told me that they picked up four injuries against 'Fax.

Needs must for the have-nots. Yes it might have been different if the shoe was on the other foot.

Working as ever on Sundays but, despite all the above, Bongser did enjoy the scoreline.

PS: Regarding Leythe's tweet about ordering extra pies, did they order enough humble?

If you're a subscriber to LCTV B&B,you can now watch the full match,plus the interviews.

INOUT
Good evening Bongser, hope you are well?In my opinion Shaun Wane did what he thought was best for Wigan, ie,putting out his strongest side first , then giving youth a chance ,if he had played it the other way round it would have left his experienced men with a mountain to climb,I think he did the right thing, as did Jukesy, the difference was we at Leigh have no youth to play at the moment , but I'm sure if Derek and Jukesy are still here in 2018 maybe we will have a few youngsters to blood.
Wigan for me will still be in the GF in October,they have both Tompkins, Flower,Clubb, Burgess, Manfredi, Bateman,Micky Mac,to add to the team,and think they will be at Old Trafford In October.
I really enjoyed the game on Sunday,and the scoreline, the Wiganers I spoke to this week we're all impressed by Leigh, most think we will finish in the top 8 this season.

Ian, the question is,will we beat them in October?

Good Evening Derek,as you can see Charlie is BACK ,I said I would be back before the start of the new season,a couple of folk said I was banned



as usual they were wrong ,I'm looking forward to the new season,as for your question?The answer in a one off game I think we could beat anybody, I will wait and see how the season pans out.Charlie knows.

Welcome back CC , It was good to see you on Sunday.

For me, this is the acid test for what Shaun Wane does. Whatever we think about his selections for pre-season games, come Grand Final time, he has usually got things spot on.

Also, in the interview on LCTV, he is generous in his praise and admiration for Leigh.

I totally agree Alan,I have spoken to Shaun a few times at Total Fitness, he really rates Leigh and our Squad for the coming season,I know he loves the Banter between Leigh and Wigan, as much as Leythers do, but seriously he rates us this season, just look at the Wigan Forum , on the predictions thread to see a fair few Wiganers think we will finish in the Top 8 this year.

Very true Alan,he also comments any injuries in key positions could be our downfall.

Is that game being played at the Magistrates Court ?

Agreed. But that can be the case for any team - just look at what very nearly happened to Leeds & Huddersfield last season.

That would be interesting, Charlie Jnr got married in December and Frank turned up in a pinstripe suit and his Leigh baseball cap,the photographer had to ask him to remove it.

Frank in just a baseball cap just doesn't bear thinking about

Derek, I meant the Cap, not the Suit.

Welcome back Charlie....it's been dull on here without you !!!

Thank you Budge

it was reported I had been banned



but the guy who said this is renown for his ramblings,



anyway I'm back now, new season, same owd Charlie though.

Charlie! Bongser cannot begin to express how jolly well chuffed he is that you have now pleasured Her Majesty sufficiently for us to enjoy your wisdom again. Sorry that Bongser was not there for your release - last eventide Bongser Towers was up to the castellations in dirty crockery all of which had to be scrubbed before the return of Mrs B (wee yet feisty).

Were there trumpets? If so, Bonzer!

Bongser.

Btw Charlie, should you see Diggory, who Bongser believes to be an Equity card carrying acquaintance of yours, would you please offer Bongser's acknowledgement of the good baker's salutations of yestereve and Bongser's apologies for their non-reciprocation. Some of that steak pud gravy was nigh on a sennight old! Furthermore, would you kindly enquire if he got the contract for all the extra pahs that Leigh laid on for our neighbours.

It's good to be back Bongser,to have 2 crazy posters on this Forum



I said I would return for the start of the new season,as well as appearences at the Tower,plenty to catch up on,I've been in Wigan all week doing my care in the Community work,showing them how to use a knife and fork.
This coming season promises to be so exciting,I expect my views on team selection will be controversial, I have no favourite players,and 28 into 17 doesn't go,I'm always ready to give Jukesy a bit of advice.
My prediction for 2017 ?I think we will still be in SL and Ben Crooks to be a star.Charlie knows.
