On which platform Gav, BBC or our league, or something else.

del capo Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 BBC to cover Orrell St James v Army on saturday ( nb k.o. time of 12,30 ) Our League to show Bentley v Stanningley on sunday. Wigan St Pats on their facebook page are saying that their 2.15 pm match on saturday at Rochdale Mayfield is being streamed . Not yet sure which platform. Tasty coverage all round guaranteed. But you can't beat watching any of them live if weather and your covid status allows - remember ' Your Game needs You ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my recent favourite was the tremendous fight that Siddal gave Toronto Wolfpack in a bit of a mud bath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padge will correct me but I believe Wigan had Fairburn , Nulty, Vigo and Francis in the backs alongside forwards Hogan Sorenson and Irving , all players whose reputations have stood the test of time. Joey Mcabe and Billy Simmons , the Barla International half back partnership of the day, showed little respect and almost played Wigan off the park..... Alan 'Dingy ' Doran, a St Cuthbert's lad and late replacement for prop Ashcroft saved it late on for the Cherry and Whites with a telling break......

I'm actually going to attend this game on my Sweeney Todd so do send me a DM if you are there and want to say hello. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Dunbar Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I'm going to walk over to the Chiswick ground for the Chargers and Ellenborough tie tomorrow.
