The chances are though, if theyd have taken a basic team of 13, with hardly any forwards, theyd have taken a whacking off you guys, probably picked up more injuries, and so would have forfeited the next game anyway. As bad as this is gonna sound... Id rather an 18-0 forfeit against wild boars, and hopefully get a few lads back and scrape a win the following week, rather than get a 60odd - 0 whooping, more injuries, and forfeit the next two games.

As bad as it sounds Pazzer, its common sense, and if you put yourself in their shoes id imagine you'd do the same.

Its alright going on about heart, desire, spirit etc, i agree with you dont get me wrong, Storm have played off that for years, but youve got to see why they did what they did! Get off their case mate

league or union i agree with most of what you said there, i know exactly why they done it, but one of your lads pointed out that we beat you 30 - 10 so bury automatically have a better result, listen im not arguing the first point was just a joke about the wet spounge but he obviosly bit,

newton have done very well last few seasons with low numbers, wildboars were like that at one stage, ive been there since the club formed and we have sometimes trained with 5 or 6 lads, but maybe you benefit from not having a 'lets give up' mentality

anyway like i said enjoy the rest of the season back to the predictions, mine being most cup games off this weekend -6 supposedly here

Was gutted the game was called off this weekend, got a feeling we wont be playing now til the new year because this cold snap is here to stay supposedly



We need to start playing summer rugby!!

any1 from westhoughton post on here? we having a game saturday or what??

The game will be on pal, its 7 degrees and EVERYWHERE has thawed out.

not quite everywhere...the school are telling us (Bury) that its hard still in places (could be bottom end where the trees blockout any sun). Going to look tonight...

Just seen that Oldham Athletic have had to call their game off. There are still some places where it won't have heated up much.

well it is off - solid ground, hugely dissapointing.
Well we play Wildboar next week at home, least them lads arnt pussys and will play!

HOME?????

WE WERE AWAY AT WESTHOUGHTON THEY RECKON THEY GOT A SOLID PITCH?
SUMMER RUGBY PLAY WITH SOLID PITCHES, WHO CARES???????

WE PLAY WILD BOAR HOME NEXT WEEK

IF BURY WANT A GAME COME DOWN OURS!!! PLAY IN IN LAST WEEKS POSTPONED GAME AT OUR PLACE, PITCH IS ALRIGHT FOR A GAME, JUST CONTACT NWC TO RE-ARRANGE? CAN WE DO THAT?

Wish we'd thought of that a few hours ago.

I'll text the club sec & see what he thinks...problem is lads will have taken work for tomorrow, and/or be out on the lash by now so I wouldn't get your hopes up! Thought games would have been on this weekend but our pitch isn't playable by all accounts.

Boars beat Rylands 26-16 was a tough game.

Think we got Newton next week obviously weather permitting so should be good, dont think they have lost for a while.
