Jeez, Tony.



Have an early night, will ya?

Have a heart - the Vikings raided Tony's hut in AD 793. Poor sod, no wonder he hates them.

Shaw,Kelly and now Rowley cant sort Leighs indiscipline out,believe Batley had a massive advantage in the penalty count.Looks like Karl Harrison is working his defensive magic again like he did when at Salford, they had the 4th best defence in S.L.Nothing for Fax to worry about Leigh will not come within 30pts of Fax.Only 2 other teams to worry about thats Barrow and Toulose.

Actually Tony, by 876AD the Vikings held and were settling in most of England as far south as what was then known as Wessex (think SW corner and middle of Southern England (excluding Cornwall) along the M4 corridor as far as Kent) so in fact they did visit the area. surname studies show that in the pre-industrialized Liverpool, Wirral and West Lancashire areas show upto 50% of males as having Viking ancestry.







An interesting concept bearing in mind that apart from the Welsh we have no true indigenous tribes and haven't had since before Britain was covered in ice and was still landlocked with Europe. The population after that was made up of hunter gatherers who travelled up and down what would be mainland Europe and stopped off here. We as a race don't exist, we are a vast melting pot of Scandinavians, Basques/Iberians, Angles, Saxons and a whole host of others. The Vikings did invade Britain but they had ancestral claims over it anyway (King Harold of 1066 fame was of Viking stock) and to be fair the Romans killed off much of the British races long before the Vikings came. I doubt very much that the Romans made a great effort to win the hearts and minds of the people as they went about their business.



The Vikings were actually great expansionists who settled in the areas that they conquered and brought with them much knowledge and skills including what became the English legal system, copied throughout the world today.







You may find it sick, but the Vikings did kick ass over most of England and are responsible for most of the good things that have come out of northern England and that probably includes you Tony.

We've not had any sort of decent discpline for nearly 10 years now

Take it you either know nothing on history OR are taking pee! Try looking at the meaning of Widnes. You can add the Angles, Saxons, Normans, Celts amonst other tribes who raided and pillaged England in the past. Then again England has invaded America, India, Australia, NZ, Africa etc and committed similar acts to the Vikings. In fact probably about every nation and tribe on earth has committed such acts in its history!



If you need anymore educating just ask Tony

Yes, I think we could have given you a game, if it had gone ahead on the original date. (the day after you play Cas'!!) From what we are hearing in the press, at Leigh, you are about to be handed a colossal advantage, when the game is to be played!

If i'm hearing right (three day turnaround for you) then that's ridiculous, even if it is to our advantage.

Yes, it's on a 'blank' weekend for both of us (unless you beat Cas) - but ours is only 'blank' beacuse our game has been brought forward to Thursday, for SKY. So, if things stand, you get a ten day rest, before playing us!

We beat Fev away after a 4 day turnaround and they had 10 so stop crying.

Don't give a toss about the South, paulifax, did the Vikings actually settle in WIDNES? I think not, as confirmed by Vikingman's silence on this delicate matter. Am I right? I'M NOT WRONG!

You didn't play Thursday-Sunday though, did you? Let's not forget that we had to go to Toulouse the Saturday following the Easter games, and then had to play Fev at home 4 days after coming off the plane!
