i personally don't see the point in letting players go and play for another club.

for the sake of a short season why not just play the fixtures and then allow players to have the option of playing winter league when the short season finishes ? ?

trust doesn't mean anything in my eyes when you take into account your own clubs financial benefits.
surely having your own team playing on a saturday and having players and supporters filling your own till is better than other clubs reaping the benefit of your players for the sake of a couple of months ??

because we played the 10/11 NWCs winter league then went straight into summer 11, we are starting pre-season for the summer 2012 in Jan so if we played the interim we would have no break....the key players for our team and our capt said they needed a break.

plus i run the cobras and own the pub we run from, its no big deal......this is a case of letting the other boys know the grass isn't always greener without them leaving the club to find out and looking bad when/if they come back

I hope

fair enough, good luck

It hasn't been the best start to the interim season with teams posponing games as and when they want, Bank Quay played in both Warrington Cup finals last week and both games were tough but still managed to field teams for both fixtures on the Saturday although we could have easily not played the Thatto game to rest players.

The RFL have said that clubs will now have until January to apply for fixtures for the NWML 2012, and the start date for league fixtures will be as late as April now to allow clubs to make that transition across from Winter, I have heard that several clubs have asked about moving across for 2012 but we will just have to wait and see what happens, I think it inevitable that clubs move to summer, just how soon is the big question now.

Is there a website where I can get fixtures and league tables from etc? We played Bank Quay on Saturday with yet again another depleted squad, but managed to hold our own for more than 60 minutes. Not had the best start with players and had to call the second team game off as we didn't have enough players for two teams, which is a shame.

Thatto Heath Crusaders v Wigan St. Pats in the North West Men's League has been postponed this weekend. We at Thatto Heath have 9 of our NWML squad away at a wedding in Greece and contacted Pats a number of weks ago to alert them to this fact. It was our intention to use some of our Under 18s in the fixture initially but they have a massive winner takes all game to qualify for the play-offs with Halton Farnworth on Sunday. We are currently speaking to Pats about a date to re-arrange the game - possibly in a couple of weeks time in the midweek.
I was a bit annoyed that our lads didn't highlight this date as being an issue before the fixtures were issued as I could have asked for a free date on that day. As it happened I actually asked Matt Birkett to try to arrange our games against the other NCL second teams to match our NCL fixtures so we could play double headers of both the NCL and NWML games - something which he managed to do on this occasion.
The NCL fixture between THC and St.Pats is still taking place on Saturday with a 2.30pm kick off. I will post the date of the re-arranged game as soon as we agree it with St.Pats. I spoke with Kelly Barrett this morning and she was looking to arrange a game between St.Pats and Leigh East for this Saturday.

pats wont play east,thet said they cant raise a team we even offered to play friday just to get a game because we've played once in about 6 weeks and our lads are getting fed up

Game on Saturday, Adlington here we come. Missed not playing.
predictions anyone?????

I wonder if they play they let us down on the first day and haven't played since, we have been told that is our fixture next Saturday!!
