Arghhhh....really struggling to get my head around this week!

I started the week looking for ways to get fringe players a game and have ended it by having to concede. It's a mad mad mad world! Swear i am going to go insane trying to run a club! Even spoke to teh league on Monday about how we would go about having our 'excess' players maybe run out in other clubs second teams to allow them to get a game.

What's worse is we had 25+ available for the last two weekends, had to do a whole load of managing expectations, and probably just one injury in the camp. Am just in the process of making sure we have no more than 30 signed on as we've that many registered now and have already de-registered 3 lads and still 28 on the list - just can't believe how many are injured this week (me one of them!).

shouldnt you be keeping a low profile? or planning for leaving doo number 4?

Fooking illegal immigrants…if he weren’t so big id give him a slap…. Aussie abos…..he just told the cobra’s im gay too!!!!!

I have the leeds top (off hornets(??)) here too so if you do pop over n watch ill have it in my van of love!!!

i loe men in short shorts...

We had a really couple of weeks before Xmas with a good amount of quality players, but since after Xmas alot of them have had work commitments, injuries and random winter holidays. We've had a couple of lads come down over the past few weeks which has halped too. Luckily we haven't had to forfit a game yet down to be unable to raise a team.

It can be so fustrating. I've come to Newton this year from the higher divisions and it's great to play in if you can keep the numbers.

Having seen some of the pics of Netani on the Flying Horse facebook group, I'm not sure who I would worry about more...

Westhoughton Lions 10 - 48 Wigan Bulldogs

Tough one this week for us (Westhoughton), only had 13 to start with due to injuries/work commitments/coaching course (same as most teams at the moment) then down to 12 after 15 mins after an injury. We kept plugging away though against a very good and vastly improved Bulldogs side. Fun, enjoyable match and we had a good laugh with the Wigan lads.
