No I think there was trouble a few years ago with buses getting attacked.

Not just buses.

Matter of interest; how come Halifax got a change of date next weekend to allow them extra rest/prep time? Seems like we're not just playing Halifax eh?

Wasn't that change of date designed to avoid either team having an advantage in prep time?

In fact Batley still get 2.5 hours advantage

Playing on Monday night and then potentially off travelling again on Friday, would seem a bit harsh on part time players.

Am I misinformed? I thought their game had been moved to Saturday?

no new shirt been made for Wembley RFL says we have to play in our 2023 home kit 

Yet Leigh can change the colour of their shirts.

Let’s be serious here 

Leigh and hull Kr will clash kits if they both wear there home shirt

we’ve clashed with Halifax before when wearing white and been close to a fine from the rfl plus don’t forget the referee has to fit in with his kit… 

Please stop thinking they have agenda for the club… 

[RogerT]

I have no agenda with the club I was just answering you, how does Leighs black or a shade of blue clash with red and white, refs have that many different colours that's no problem.

And they aren't just playing in their normal alternate away shirt, its a new design especially for the final. 

Could be due to us playing in different competitions, of course, but does seem inconsistent if the RFL really have said we must play in our home shirt. 

[RogerT]

I'm happy with them playing in our home strip.

[RogerT]

Anybody know how far Lucas Walshaw is off returning.

[LINNERS]

Dewsbury Reporter reporting around 1000 tickets sold. Would have expected double that. Still a week to go though.

About 2/3 weeks he's back training now just going thru motions as soon as he's ready reckon he'll be straight back in, a real shame he's missing out on Wembley after the career he's had!
