You mean like the Academy we tried to run , but got sick of having to cancel matches because the RFL refused to let us join the SL comp ?

That one ?

As you well know , you get 1 st pick of the juniors in your area , we don't , we've had players on our scholarship like Joe Burgess and Tommy Makinson , can we retain them ? No , so we were constantly try to make silk purses out of ( no disrespect ) sows ears

my heart bleeds.....really it does. Poor Gateshead Thunder.....you LUCKY SODS

If only Leigh had some fans.

And the few they do have are a really obnoxious bunch. I'd almost rather have Rovers back.

Not fair that. I was impressed with how friendly they were when we visited their place. That and they have a much better ground are only 2 (of many) reasons that I'd rather they stayed in SL at the dobbins expense.

Agreed. We took six young kids to Leigh and their fans were really nice to us. There's no way I'd take 5 year olds to Rovers.

My post above was a dig at Leigh, just facts, in fact it was more a dig at the Hull fans who won't attend tonight by choice.

I went to Leigh and their fans were great, I think a few got a bit over excited at the start of year and went over the top in predicting how well they would do, but one of the few sets of fans that didn't use the ref as an excuse when we beat the,

Good luck to Nick Rawsthorne making his debut tonight.

just hope he is partnered with Tuimavave and not Griffin.
Nick is also a top goal kicker.Just hope we score some tries for him to add the points.
it will be good to have some real speed on the wing

Think you are on your own there
