Leeds Wire

Fantastic charity, Wigan not chasing the easier, unethical money here and that is to be applauded. But, but, but.... I can't resist.... the stadium announcer at the next match: "Welcome to the Brick Sh**house!" (Sorry, mods Please take into account my clean record.)

I remember the first time I watched 'No Surrender' (another Bleasdale classic) and Bernard played the part of a bouncer. He repeatedly insisted that the intonation on his name was 'Ber-NARD' because he'd been in the French Foreign Legion. When someone pleaded with him "You shouldn't judge a book by its cover", the deadpan, innocent delivery from Bernard was "I do, I can't read". Incidentally, Bernard was also a regular at the quiz in the Cat and Lion in Stretton, Warrington and always had time for people. He must have been sick of people saying "gizzajob" but you wouldn't know it. RIP Ber-NARD, you legend.

If you told me, even 2 years ago, that Leigh would be getting over 8K for a regular league fixture against Cas I'd have laughed you out of town. Well done Leigh

England T20 World Cup squad Very experienced side on the whole, with just Hartley and Jacks being new to the world cup. No Stokes, Woakes or Malan. I find the omission of Woakes extremely baffling, he's such a talented player.

So you want Leeds to keep winning? Weird logic, Daz.

Have you tried driving between Salford and Headingley several times a week?

Good post as always Ox. I've found some of the posts on here to be quite disrespectful to Salford, probably unintentionally so. Well done Paul Rowley for your loyalty and professionalism. I hope Salford kick on from here (after this weekend).

It would certainly be a weird turn of events if Hull KR offered Salford compensation for this.

Ah right, cheers JB. What a plank though.

Who needs enemies when you've got friends like this? After a cracking game of rugby, a very influential figure posts a complaint about one tiny debatable moment rather than saying anything positive about the match. This must be how John Drake feels.

I know it's easy to type this after your team has won, but I thought Leigh were excellent today. Really good supporters too. They will take great heart from that performance and win some big games this summer.

He's definitely had something done with his teeth. I was astounded by how clearly he spoke last night.

Ticket has been taken, sorry (by a York RL fan )

Off to see this whirlwind of a band on Thursday at Leeds Brudenell. I unexpectedly have a spare (free to you) ticket if anyone wants it. The support act is a young Manchester lad with a huge future

This lot have got a new album coming out and are touring the UK in October (got tickets for Leeds). They have gained a fabulous reputation as a live band.
