Re: NRC Draw : Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:38 pm  

A bit worried by this draw, would have liked to have someone easier. When leigh were drawn at home just knew we were next out of the hat and groaned when we were, but I bet they did too! I'm sure they would have liked an easier draw than us even if it is on their patch. Let's stay positive and support the lads in numbers. I'm sure we can get a result.

Just glad we avoided Toulouse away

I think its only fair if Leigh play the game with only 11 men to give you a chance, to be fair we will be requesting the same of Toulouse.

We will do, but it's in the form of a 516 bus, Tony.

No way, looking at our forum and judging by the amount of text messages I've got tonight about the draw then everyone is just excited about having another last derby at the LSV!

Leigh spend the Co oP money on free coaches for the Widnes fans for this game ?

Would you then bring a good following two weeks after playing us this weekend ?

It depends on whether our RFL masters will allow us.

If we consult the master plan we will probably find that to attend your match in great numbers will make you look good which goes against the rules of the great anti leigh conspiracy. The Illuminati lizard people at the top of the RFL who were responsible for 9/11 and keeping you down all this time might be miffed if we don't stick to the game plan.

They're already annoyed because your tin foil hats interfere with their mind control waves so you'd better be careful not to rock the boat.

Send a free coach to Leeds too?

Why not use the money to round up some fans from your own town first

To win competitions and trophies you have to beat the best... or just Fax as well I suppose.

It is certainly a difficult draw made all the harder with it being away.
But these games definitely generate the best atmosphere in this league and I suppose it's a bit of a shame that our two teams couldn't contest the final and pack the ground out.

I suppose whoever loses will go on to beat Fax in the super sevens final the day before.

I dont reckon we will get to that final this time. To be fair though its a nightmare draw for Widnes drawing the best team in the comp away. Still could have been worse its not that far a drive home after defeat unlike us.

Re: NRC Draw : Fri Mar 25, 2011 10:14 am  

You will already be on your way (officially) to SL by the time the quarter-final comes around. So will the players care? I suspect there'll be a few sore heads next weekend in Widnes. Every team from then on will be trying to give you a pasting. Will your players be big/strong/professional enough? You will find out shortly.

Alternatively the NRC won't matter to you once the nod is official, so just let us win anyway
