Shocking that but I suppose at this stage of the season picking up 2 points away from home and not risking any injuries to players is a bonus

did piks and burtonwood not turn up or were they close games ???

We Didn't turn pal I'm afraid, too many lads working and at MM I'm afraid 12 of us were prepared to travel but the coach decided against it.

Not ideal, and it's the 2nd game we've conceeded 1st was GF and 2nd was MM, it's rubbish playing games in these dates, utter rubbish.

Still no excuse plenty of other teams in NWC managed to get teams out even though they were lacking several players. Look at orrell in div 2 went up to askam with a bare 13 and got done 60-0 but they turned up even though their team played at MM on sat night. They could of took the easy route out but didn't

With all due respect west bank, what my team does has nothing to do with you, and even with the best will in the world irrespective of whether we have 12 men or 17, we try and compete every week and unfortunately this week wasn't a game that should have been scheduled every week and even with 13 players ready to travel the decision to play doesn't come down to them.

We can't attract players in the same manner that teams like you, SV, Thatto and the rest can simply because we don't have the right facilities.

However were 25 years old this year and are essentially still a pub team, and although the last couple of years haven't been good, we'll bounce back when our new facilities are completed.

Until that time, don't judge something that you know nothing about buddy.

with pats, cuthberts, judes, IRB, shevy, OSJ, hindley most which have second teams....it aint easy to attract players mate!

I championed weeks ago that the st helens, wire and wigan sides should have been given the opportunity to re schedule yesterdays fixtures, just a real poor effort by the RFL and BARLA, 30,000 on day one of MM was very poor in my opinion, especially seeing as a wigan v saints can regularly attract 23, 24, 25000 at the DW. Ammy clubs can have anything upto 100 people involved on a saturday afternoon, stevie wonder can see its good for rugby league that allowing a free week would have got more bums on seats at MM.....we have 7 games left now, another week, or even night match wouldnt have made much difference! a lesson to be learned!

You are entitled to it, the same as everyone does on here, but just don't be a c0ck about something you know absolutely nothing about, you're having a good couple of years, I get that, but things will get tough for you sooner or later, just like it did for you in the final, playing Div 4,3 & 2 Nwc teams and bragging about winning makes you look a little stupid and makes people lose respect, when you're doing it in Div 1 and the Prem then brag about being the best.

At the end of the day we're a pub team, and to have been going 25 years is something I'm proud of.

We went up to Hindpool on saturday with 15 players as players had work committments/manchester derby day/MM and also out of the 15 one lad hasn't played for 5 years, another is a young lad who got mom and our coach put a kit on too. Plus adding to that a couple of lads carrying injuries into the game too and a really poor ref, we basically only played 30 mins of the game with 13, plus we was winning with about 8 mins to go and deserved a draw at the very least (even all the hindpool lads said that afterwards). I was really proud of all the lads that turned and did the langworthy reds name proud. I understand where you are coming from dan1978uk.
