Swinton look like they have a few decent players for the coming season , i thought Ballard had a decent game , for me Martin Ainscough always looked dangerous , and they have a big second rower called Kash Watkins , i think he is the brother of Kallum Watkins who plays for Leeds , he looked very good .

As for the Crusaders , nice to see so many ex-leythers in the team ,Dave McConnell ,Jamie Durbin , Andy Gorski ,and Jonno Smith and Leon Brennen from Easts , they also have Stuart Reardon the ex Bradford and Wire centre , the Salfordlad upset a Relation of his though icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif she put him in his place though icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif .

All in all it was a good game Swinton started slowly but look useful with a few Wire D-R s you never know .

Was an entertaining game but I don't agree with your conclusions.

Swinton's pack is not strong enough in my view and although I have a soft spot for them I can't see them making top 6 this coming season.

Crusaders away following surprised me. The only Championship Clubs who brought that many to our home games last season were Fax Fex and not surprisingly Swinton. About 120 in my estimate' crowd about 600.

Why anyone from Leigh would want to go along and financially support swinton lions is beyond me. icon_stupid.gif

I suppose they went because they are Rugby fans and there was a game on.

Well I have said why in my post.

How does it harm the club I watch home and away if I want to go and watch Swinton' or any other side when Leigh are not playing ?

I went to Wembley last season not to mention the Non Relegation League and Championship Finals oh' and I did a day at Magic weekend on the Saturday and' would have gone on the Sunday' but instead went to watch Leigh at Dewsbury.

Barrow brought a decent support in the NRC as well if memory serves me right.

Think it will be a while before we start to see how the league will pan out this season with so many new clubs promoted and the dual set ups, must admit I thought Swinton would do better than they actually did last season so i'll stay away from the predictions this time around icon_lol.gif

Quote: THECherry&Whites "Why anyone from Leigh would want to go along and financially support swinton lions is beyond me. Today's game was a Testimonial match for a former Leigh player Ian Watson,as Chair of his committee I'd like to thank any Leigh supporter who attended todays game and contributed to Ian's fund.
I can assure you that the only benefit the Swinton club will gain from today was a run out for the players and when his testimonial ends a possible donation towards hopefully our new stadium.Other monies being given to the Eccles RL and the Dana Wilson Memorial fund.
I'm sorry you were under the impression that any support was assisting Swinton,but again to those who attended on behalf of Watto a massive thankyou.

Kallum was doing the presentation of medals to the kids. We had Kash a few seasons ago but he wasn't the size he is today.

Hey if Swinton avoid relegation this season I will be happy. most cubs that have come up have spent heavily and amassed useful looking squads and I will admit I was worried about us.

Today has eased my fears somewhat. However, we still need to add to the squad.

I trust Steve Mac and anything above the bottom two will be a bonus.

I dont really understand why people have a problem with going watching other teams. I had a Leigh season ticket the year you were in SL along side my Swinton one. I chose Swinton when the fixtures clashed but I really enjoyed that season. Seems a bit short sighted to have a go about that, as after all, its a two way street.

Why no post about Keighleys friendly game, it has more relevance.

The highlights of the Keighley v Fax friendly are on you tube.

I didn't comment on that game because I didn't go.
