I beg to differ BnB
I am fully online with the V1, Doodlebugs and B(bee) 52 word play. Very clever mate
I also think taking pies and donkey stones could work, but taking a translator will be needed for sure.
I worked at Wiggin and Pemberton nicks for many years. I never did fully understand the locals however. Strange tongue for sure and hard to tell the guys from the gals except at 2am on Kings Street. The gals are the ones with shoes under one arm and a kebab under the other.

It was great to be at a game again, although I had to get the plasters out for my feet. I had to walk 3 miles to train station cos buzz was running late. After train a quick tram across Manchester centre for buzz to Salford, then another 2 mile walk to the stadium. But it was worth it. This team doesn't know when they're beaten. They just don't give up. A scrappy 1st half in which Salford were on top but after going 22-10 down, Leigh upped their game. Some of Joe Mellor's tackles were amazing on blokes much bigger than him. Saints game next and then Wiggin. Can't wait to watch those.

I totally agree with your comments about Joe Mellor. What a whole hearted player. Last week against Cas he came on as sub. for Edwin after half an hour and did a great job out of position including the tackle of the season to stop a certain Cas try in the last minute.
Then on Sunday he gives a full 80 minutes in this unfamiliar position which included the tigerish tackling you mentioned. If it wasn’t for Ben’s brilliant goalkicking, he would definitely make my Leigh team.
