Bury Broncos v Waterhead
Eccleston Lions v Blackburn Knights
Hindley v Westhoughton Lions
Newton Storm v Bolton Mets
Rochdale Cobras v Chorley Panthers
St Helens Wild Boar v Wigan Bulldogs

It’s looking like Hindley are the team to beat, us at cobras had a torrid time at waterhead last week, played e and underestimated em, few 1st teamers in but not enough to use it as an excuse just a good big side!

Yeah they'll win alot more than they lose this year - Obviously I fancy us to finish top but I see you guy's and Waterhead challenging very strongly

I Think newton will surprise alot of people this year.

Yeah Newton have had some good results!!
Any tips about Chorley?????

Don't think you will have any trouble really, hit them hard first 5 minutes and the game is yours.

I'm hoping Blackburn turn up tomorrow as we need the game to try and build on our recent results.

Think the predictions are probably right, although for some reason I can see the Wild Boars v Wigan Bulldogs game being abandoned

3 or 4 games in - any regerets about moving up by any of the teams who have moved up? (Cobras and Hindley need not reply!)

saint me what gave you that thought infact the game was totally different only 2 or 3 penalties for high shots

None. It's a refreshing change to know the game is 90% certain to go ahead. We've had one postponement due to both team's pitches being waterlogged. Yes there are some one-sided results, but that's not exclusive to Div 5.

Last year, several times we went weeks and weeks without a game due to teams not turning up, having insufficient numbers, etc. Normally 'A' teams. That coupled with pitches sometimes being unplayable meant a very frustrating season.

Our big problem is we are following Hindley in the league fixtures!!

This means they hammer a team, that team then don’t want to get another big score against em so give the game away.

I do hope this weekend was a one off!!!!

we have Westhoughton Lions this Wednesday night (they have a stag party on Saturday) just hope it goes ahead, we need games to get things right!!!!

Previous experience of playing against both teams.

How are you lot getting on? You got the same squad as last year?

we have most of the lads from last year but alot of players have come down, we played the old team against westhoughton and played bad now we have adapted and made big changes and results seem to be in our favour but ts along season and many things can happen lets just enjoy it

Hindley 82 Westhoughton 6

We rested 4 or 5 first teamers for this game. Was a 1 sided game but fairplay to Westhoughton they kept going. Felt sorry for their 2 props who played 80mins and where stand out players for them. Good luck for the rest of the season lads.

What time is the evening Kick off this wednesday and where is it at ( Westhoughton or Rochdale)

I'm glad to hear it. I hope that your season picks up and you keep on making progress.

Newton were well under par this week.

The result was not a reflection of how we have been playing this season.
