You would be surprised how much support Newton Storm has in certain circles. The club want the open age to be as successful as the junior set up and will do everything they can to help.

Its not going to happen overnight and it's gonna take alot of work from the lads who want to be part of the rebuilding process. The new players who come in will be there for the long haul, no short term fixes.

By the way Kane, Bozzy's more than welcome to come back when Hes finished with Rochdale!

Week 3:
Bury Broncos vs Widnes Tigers
Crosfields A vs Chorley Panthers
Rylands Sharks A vs Wigan Bulldogs
St Helens Wild Boars vs Newton Storm
Westhoughton Lions vs Eccleston Lions
Wigan St Cuthbert's A vs Bolton Mets

Hard to call again this week, but I reckon nearly all home wins this week. Obviously I'm going for Bury against Widnes, Crosfields-Chorley looks to be yet another tight one: Chorley seem to have strengthened but I'm going with Crosfields simply with them being at home. Rylands-Bulldogs, also going with Rylands with them at home; think Wild Boars will have too much for Newton, Westhoughton-Eccleston could be tight with Westhoughton having a good win last week but think Eccleston will have too much power, and Bolton seem to have had a poor start while Cuthberts have started well.

id go with most off them apart from crossfields and chorley. they seemed to have got themselfs together from last season (chorley). good few games this weekend hope we continue with r good start to the season should think so with newtons poor start!!!

Seems we're competing in another mini-league!!!!

Just noticed that Wild Boars have joined pitch-hero and currently, Hindley, followed by Chorley, are the two most viewed rugby league club sites on the whole pitch-hero network!

Think I will agree with that even the Bolton game - think it may come good though on 2nd Oct game

Ah yes, the big Bury-Bolton derby followed by the Grand Final excursion...should be a good one!!

How's things going over at the Mets? Been a tough start for you fellas...

is it true bolton cant make a team amymore? bolton did well last year would be a shame if they struggle this year

Wild boars 30 - 10 Newton
Another good win despite poor discipline from us. 3 more sinbinnings!

Bury Broncos 46 - 6 Widnes Tigers

Widnes went 0-6 up after 2 minutes (one them shouted "easy!"), and were never in it after that. Some champagne RL today, ran well, threw the ball around and were solid in defence. Widnes were a few lads down I think and kept going but to be honest we kept them out the game. Great performance!!

good result lads

I believe there are 'internal issues' at Bolton, to do with the direction the club should or shouldn't be taking. Also I think quite a lot of their players are late 20s/early 30s and some might be calling it quits.

Could be completely wrong but that's the rumour...not like them to concede games at all.

hope bolton come through...good side, and we lost blackburn last year - this part of the world needs more rugby league!!!
