Got most of my predictions this week! - except Widnes-Westhoughton...some good close games this week, this division is gonna be tight!!

Why was it a poor game?

David Lowe is the worst referee ever!!!



Newton were 10-0 up then rylands started throwing the punches and we got penalised



Then after that he gave us absolutely nothing, can't wait to see the video we got, at one point there 6 kicked it on our 10 straight through and there 7 was already over the line when he caught it without it even bouncing and touched down we all asked about the offisde but no explanation just blew his whistle and gave it... How he can ref open age i dont know, not even fit for junior leagues.

Was a good arm wrestle though and Newton are on the up considering the first 2 weeks results.

Can't see saturdays results being to good seeing as most teams will be short seeing as Wigan and Saints are in the final, i dont know why the league wont let teams postpone the match seeing as its grand final day, RETARDS!!!

Can't blame the reff for that on Saturday, he did kill us with penalties but we killed ourselves with stupid mistakes. u cant do that much defending, with very little ball in hand and expect to come away with anything but a lose. only got ourselves to blame edo!

Lot of work needed in training this week!

Are eccy lions going to have a team for this Saturday with it being grand final day?

Crosfields turned up an hour late and then their sideline continued to argue with the ref all the way through the game when a decision went against them.

Bet They turned up on time but that walk from ur changing rooms takes about an hour

You had get a joe from them changing rooms to the pitch as I remember Mr G!!!

At least you dont have to do it every other weekend



They used the internet for the address and ended up at Bolton RUFC

anyone else noticed that the NWC web-site tables still do not include the Crossfield v Eccleston result in the figures??? Has it been written off some how?

No, just you.



That result was missed that week on the [url=http://nwcarl.leaguerepublic.com/ProcessPublicSelect.do;jsessionid=617463110F8591A3A874347824A2A3BD?psSelectedSeason=475011&psSelectedDivision=8293033&psSelectedCompetition=0&psSelectedLeague=2343442League Republic site[/url, I emailed them and it was added, but the [url=http://www.nwcoaarl.org.uk/old crappy NWC site[/url never seems to have been updated.

Round 5, 2nd Oct:

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

Bury looking forward to the derby on Saturday against Bolton, I'll tip us again for the win though I suspect Bolton will find a full squad for this one!! As for the rest, Bulldogs - Crosfields should be close, I'll go for Crosfields with them being at home; Eccleston will have too much for Newton who continue to struggle; St Cuthberts look to have started stronger than Rylands though could be close. Wild Boars will be too strong for Widnes and I'm struggling with Westhoughton - Chorley, though I'll give Westhoughton the benefit with them being at home.

I also wonder if a couple of the Wigan sides might be weakened with the GF this Sat - and they're both away to Warrington sides.

Issue is - the NWC one is the 'official' site and league table! so if Eccleston don't move quick it could just get forgotten...at the last league meeting it was said that no form had ever been received from the game, and the result not called in. Don't want NWC just assuming it was not played...well, not if you're Eccleston you don't!
