Rochdale!! His commitment to staying in the North is impressive but it feels like on the playing side at least it’s not worked out. There are a few who aren’t picking up much game time post Broncos but there we are.

Dixon should score sackfuls at 'Dale. His record with you and KR speaks for itself but it he was only ever going to play Violin II at Leigh and with the emergence of Brand as a wing and then the acquisitions of Inu & Fergy he's now at the back of the double basses.

You should make an offer.

Time for the London Boys to join the "I can't cope being away from my mum, I want a release so I can go home" brigade that seems to work so well for northern boys.

Kieran left the Broncos, who had offered him a new full time contract. To go part time at York, because he wanted to move in with his girlfriend who lives up that way. I was told.

It is what it is. Good luck to him. He’d clearly be a step up for us although not sure it would greatly reduce our defensive frailties. The truth is though that there are other positions where a returning Bronco would be much more of a priority at this stage of the season. Maybe they will come, maybe they won’t. Odds on they will come (along with a full time coach) but a little too late to avoid relegation. We’ll see.

We did Bongser. 3 drinks vouchers valid at any London pub. Easily worth £21. We can’t do much more than that owing to our unfeasibly large ground/multiple training pitch costs.

Not so much failed as "can't/won't tackle. I have the same issue with my 7yr old boy at the moment, although in his defence he is only 7. When a winger doesn't tackle it weakens that entire side....Jamie O'Callaghan springs to mind.....

He (Dixon, not your 7 year old ) did have a real 'mare in one of only three appearances for Leigh. One try to his name but account very much in the red.

Got quite excited a minute ago in the light of your upcoming fixture, as there was a post on the Dewsbury forum. Turned out to be spam. Probably won't be removed as their mods likely ceased to attend some time ago.

All the best for tomorrow.

Cheers Bongser. It’s interesting isn’t it that some teams’ fans won’t truck chatting xxxt (as the kids have it) about their team on line. I thought it was pretty standard but perhaps Dewsbury fans restrict themselves to RL related discourse to the Hanged Man public house or Retreat from Kabul curry house and more power to their arm I say. Who knows what will happen tomorrow but it may well decide who goes down to L1 so I hope our first team will stay off the magic mushrooms tonight.
