Please put me on list Stephanie.

New nickname then for Demitirou - KK. If he's old to boot Robin then he is either old knackered knees i.e OKK which means he is alright or knackered knees old KKO indicationg he is ready to be kicked out or knocked out. Just the way my poor old mind works. Bring on the straight jacket.

Another thought Ray Cording came to us as a winger. Batten made him a stand off.
-
That indeed was the team. As I remember it Laurie Gany was down with flu a week before the game and was doubtful. However to my recollection he played loose forward and not second row. Willis was overlooked not for the last time in a big game. Bradshaw in for his hooking ability.
-
Additionally which two great servants are we talking about? The information from a 83 finalist is hearsay and 31 years later. If it had happened it would have been a topic of conversation long ago.

Was around at that time just 18. Went to every match and training session. Goulding did in fact drop the 'u' but never heard any rumours about coin toss. Presumably we are talking about Metcalfe. Different as chalk and cheese from Keith. Keith was a good defender but didn't have the sidestep of Metcalfe or the speed. One of those folklore things. Can you imagine Batten having to change his complete Wembley strategy on the toss of a coin? I think not. My memory is not what it was but I remember Keith playing in the semis against Leigh. Had a good game. But Batten was a perfectionist a coin toss was not his way of working.
-
Same reason we called Lambert 'Slam' Just a play on words. OR OR OR.

The one and only great Don.

Quick memory. Willis Fawley and Keith Goulding often played in Purston Park with the lads.Willis was a bit faster.
-
Why not take the first two letters from his first name and first two from his second and call him DUSTY.
-
Haven't we also signed Patterson. He is a three quarter. I wouldn't be surprised if Jesse has had his last game, but what about having a go for Demitriou. One to Wakey out one from Wakey in.
-
Goulding played in a previous round due to in jury. But the line up in the final was first choice.
-
To be fair he did say rumours. Therefore he doesn't know and can't say. I have heard the same rumour. They obviously start somewhere but haven't the substance that one can print. If we kept everything to facts and were not allowed to voice what we have heard then the forum would be less interesting.
-
I think we have to consider next year now. I reckon that Stu will retire and Jesse will not be with us. We also need a bustling heavy weight prop. I reckon Jesse goes and Senior comes in. Whatever- but sadly I feel Jesse with his talent will be elsewhere by next season.

Watched Terry Patchetts Post Office today and was startled to see the clay looking monsters looked like Senior.

Mountain found in Featherstone
jamescolin replied to Laminated Lobster's topic in Featherstone Rovers
I don't know what the fuss is about. When I was a lad about 70years ago if you wanted to play with the Square lads you had to come down said mountain on a bit of bratishing. Often flew my kite (two sticks a bit of flour paste and a big ball of string off cnoveyor belt from pit), from top of mountain. Not 7 miles high you say. It seemed it when you were 5 years old. Oh the memories. Me dad brought me a pick from Ackton Hall so I wouldn't feel out of place when we played outside opposite Phipps Street. I reckon the secret has been hidden in Dobie's workhouse for over 100 years, A pity they have finally found the secret plans. -
What is the position regarding the Whitehaven complaint about too many Leigh players on the field when they scored? Last I heartd the RL was looking into it.
-
Thanks Paul. Might be able to get things into perspectivew soon. Cheers.

Saw something on the web site about us going to Dewsbury within the next weed. My fixture list says Fev at home to Dewsbury on the 30th May. Haven't been around as much. What's the real gen?
-
My biggest worry is if Jesse will be happy living on his own in a strange country. I agree about a prop. We are suspect against big fellers near our line, we need a stopper. Look how Solomona and the Tououse forwards cut us up ten yards out.

Funny old life. I would never use Virgin. I was with them for Broadband. The system wouldn't work. I wrote to them and also telephoned them. No reply so I stopped my D/d. They then sued me for breach of contract. When I contacted them again they replied that they didn't answer letters or telphone calls only internet communications. So much for Justice. Best of luck Robin. For me Virgin stinks.
