Well he was on the video of the players training which was put up on LCTV 2 days ago.

Maybe they weren't looking very hard?

Think I'll cancel my CTax direct debit, both in the light of that and that of an hilarious recent Bongser Towers visit from the Rozzas.

Ta, Nozzt. Good times.

B&B I think Smith may have been abducted by Canadian aliens or not signed a contract and sent back to where he came or been kidnapped by Greg McNally or may be he missed the team bus after the Sheffield game and he is lost somewhere South Yorkshire.

Is it a CSA issue or merely tissues?

BaB,my Leyther moles have been burrowing constantly for the past couple of days,and come up with nowt about Lee Smith's whereabouts.He may be tied up in Frank 1s Salford apartment, released only to do his cleaning,or he may be Harold Rigby Jnr's inside man,even Charlie doesn't know this answer,will we see him again?Or will he get trapped in Leigh's own Twilight Zone?Apparently Beswick,Barlow, Whiting,and Liam Kaye were all last seen in the Vicinity of Green Lane chippy on a Monday dinner time dining with a male answering the description of Norris Cole.Very puzzling.
Myself ,I will be missing from Humberside on Saturday,it's the Annual Illuminations switch on this week end, busy times for a Clown,the Lights , Sea, and Tower are calling, but I will be cheering the boys on from Wrea Green.Have faith BaB, Charlie knows.

Hopefully you'll be setting the lights a-flashing just before 17:00 hrs on Saturday. Why not bring back some players that are made of solid rock (not Ser Jorah Mormont, probably past his best) that have Leythe written right through 'em?

Be very careful there Atomic. A good month or so I suggested Whiting may actually be heading over the pond to Toronto next season.

I was then ridiculed on here for that by a nice chap by the name of Lowton_Sparrow

Reynolds and smith not in 19? Burns back, why? And of course no tonga, i hope wt only has a 1 year deal.

Stephen, I'm very happy with the 19 selected,Harold Rigby Jnr, BaB ,and myself spent last night going over the players available ,before giving Jukesy the 19 we selected.
Burns is a very knowledgable players and knows Rovers well, what is termed in Horse Racing as a Job Jockey,we need men of steel for this Saturday.
Reynolds is a bit of a Luxury player,and we need Fighters for the Rovers game,Harold Rigby Jnr insisted in Lee Smith being chosen, but BA Bongser informed us he wasn't 100% fit,as for Willie Tonga?The bloke has featured in 2 games on the trot, and we didn't want to risk burn out with him.
Steven I hope this helps explain the situation,all letters should be addressed to H,Rigby Jnr,it's not an easy job,this selection lark.

Hi Stephen.

I can't see Burns shifting Hood, after the way Liam played against Salford. As for Tonga, apart from that superb pass to Dawson, he appeared to me, to be holding back, and wasn't 'looking for work'. There's no way that Greg Worthington will hold back, against anyone.

I would expect, (without knowing what's been going on in training!) that Travis Burns and Andrew Dixon will miss out.

..but Hood being ex Salford was always going to have a big game. How's about anexos HKR player doing he same.

Don't necessarily agree, just saying.

You could have a good point there. Also, how about including Brad Fash, because he's a Hull FC player and we know how they all love HKR!

When was the last time Travis Burns was in our squad, surely he must have a chance of playing in this one. Unless he's been injured, but Lee Smith & Ben Reynolds haven't been selected (again !)
Don't see him being named in the 19, unless it's because he'll be in the 17. Also Travis knows the pitch well, he'll do lots of 40/20's !!!
