My brother met a lad selling fish and chips on the corner of Preston North End. Peter Ridsdale already owes him money.

Slightly OT but I thought you all might be amused by a group of Wigan Rugby fans coached by me won a cup for the Latics at the weekend.

Great to see Wigan and Latics coming together to win something for the town.

13 is outside centre. He'll have more of an effect at outside centre than inside.

Petrus du Plessis?

Really? I thought it went 9 10 13 12 11/14 wth 13 used as more of a LF/SR type player?

Nils Mordt

Correct

The outside centre (13) relies on his fly half (10) and inside centre (12) to create space for him, but he needs to be able to come up with the goods once that happens. For me Brian O'Driscoll is the best in the world at this.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bloke.

Chris Ashton (formerly) of Wigan is expected to enter into contract talks with Saracens when his contract with Northampton is up in Jan.
If things keep on like this there will soon be more Wigan born players at Saracens than at Wigan.

"The 24-year-old, who joined Saints from Super League side Wigan Warriors in 2007, has been linked with a move to Saracens, where his best friend Joel Tomkins and former team-mate Andy Farrell are currently employed".

Before some folk on here start going on about this being a League board it is only a few weeks since IL stated that closer links between both clubs would benifit both clubs.

I was told a few weeks ago that this is a done deal. I actually posted it on here somewhere.

'He signed from Wigan in 2007 and is understood to be on a deal worth in the region of 180,000 per year.'
So those who said he wasn't on 140k were right after all.


I've been working on my Roy Walker impression recently. It's good, but it's not right.

We went to see the stage show at Liverpool Empire last night. It was a present from our two daughters (thank you). Hilarious, fantastic show.

What was it about? Quite like going to the theatre every so often.

Does it have the original TV characters?

Yes.
I believe there's a "special" on tv over Christmas Boxing Day night BBC 1 at 10 p.m.

Have a look what I found
