Must be a winger.

a wins a win a loss is a loss, from what i hear irlam played a few late call up people as well, but at the end of the day its 13 vs 13

They did, were short of players and drafted a couple in 20 minutes before kick-off, including one of our lads who only went to watch! Had a stormer as well.

Was a belting game.

Remember you only seen half a game and by your reaction in the 2nd half you must of been wearing blinkers

looking at the league table it speaks very loudly

Does any know what is happening to the winter league in the new Year.
Alot of ppl was saying it was going to split into 2 division. Anything been said yet?

From my own experience of playing v Irlam, yes they are a big set and maybe house a little more than average, but in the maybe 4 games we played over the last 2 years, i dont think there was a single sin bin or red card, and without a doubt i am sure Irlam will agree Irlam v SV was defo not for the faint hearted!!... think it all about giving as good as you get, with your, body, mouth and ball....In no way am i condoning kicking, elbows etc etc, but with a side like Irlam (and other big aggresive sides heysham etc etc) you have got to step upto the plate early doors and show your not their to be knocked about.

my answers simple "either give it um back or laugh it off!" bullying and intimidation is part of the game and Irlam will do it all day if you let um.

Happy new year h&h!

Are you playing in the Golborne - Irlam return on Saturday? Hoping to get down and watch, that's if my usual dose of Xmas flu shifts, it's in its 7th day now so fingers crossed.

Golborne game off

Apparently Golborne confirmed last night?

Why's it off?


** edit - apparently pitch is waterlogged. **

Gutted, was looking forward to watching a good tough game.

Water logged pitch pity we have signed 6 new players all bouncers cant play rugby but can do a lot of damage

absolute joker!

Is the NWRL site not being updated?

Anyway, Irlam 20-12 Blackbrook. Messy game, neither side at their best. As usual Irlam the bigger side, but played a bit too much one-up rugby against Blackbrook's smaller team who showed good hands and good lines to go round Irlam's unsteady defence several times. When Irlam moved the ball they made plenty of holes but struggled to retain the ball. Everyone seemed a little rusty after the Xmas break!

Lots of dropped ball and turnovers, very scrappy but a win's a win and always good to watch a game of RL.

How did Golborne go hare&hounds? Blooded your bouncers yet?
