Lumb is also a good shout, just checked his record. 1 century 10 fifties S/R of 144 Could be a good guy to have coming in at the end.

Not sure what Shah did to get dropped from ODI's and 20/20's...he was one of our best batsman the last few years. They've treated him completely unfairly but I'll presume his face doesn't fit...

Kieswetter
Trott
Pietersen
Collingwood
Morgan
Lumb
Wright
Swann
Broad
Sidebottom
Anderson

Could shape up to be a good team. Batting all the way down to 9, 3 genuine seamers, Collingwood/Wright can bowl too if needed. I'd also keep Rashid in the squad and bring him in depending on the pitch.

Ashton was a great fullback for us - we struggled once radlinski retired and all sorts of jokers playing there .... Dennis Moran who was a decent half back but as a fullback awfull .... Ashton could have been a wigan legend for many years to come but he chose to move on which was a shame !

The aussies will hate Cipriani ... hes in for alot of pain ! .....

I used to play hooker during my union days and prop when i played league ! .... league is by far the toughest sport ive played ....

I think a lucrative deal was on the table and chose to take it.... in league if you are at the top when you reach 32 you've had a good run, in union the money is better and can easily go onto 35.

Most of my league was played at hooker, I was quick off the mark and had a decent pair of hands, but I'm only short-ish and took plenty of punishment..... played against quite a few lads that are in Super League - Scott Murrell was the lad everyone was touting as being a potential superstar, and I'm surprised Carl Ablett made it tbh.

I was much better at union, played as a flanker, had it off to a tee stopping the tackled player releasing the ball without the referee knowing I was doing it illegally, until the beer took over

Who did you play for?

Lol...the ale catches up with us all .... played union in Nottingham for Mellish and Nottm 2nds ... im kind of a square shape not tall but wide ..lol

Then when moved over to the coast I played for Blackpool Seaeagles and loved it ... but never felt so much pain until we played Widnes ... christ there big mutha fuckers out there !

I like Murrell is he still with Hull KR ?

Yeah Shah was treated unfairly

Lumb is somebody who I've liked for some time.Carberry is another.Athletic aswell,quick in the field.Lumb has a good technique aswell as being able to hit boundaries so he's a versatile player which is ideal

That team you listed looks good to me.Swap Broad and Swann in the order.I'm not sure about Wright but who replaces him?

Snap.... I just hated all the gym training and stuff. Those that took it seriously that I knew are still playing, some at a decent level.

Widnes had a decent team around the time Blackpool were going, no wonder you felt it afterwards

Yeah Murrell is still at Hull KR, didn't really know him that well to be honest, only as a mate of a mate. He used to be really up himself until Leeds released him, seems then he sorted himself out and got back into SL, so fair play to him.

Tomorrow football-anybody had a look?

Cardiff vs Barnsley 4/6
Barnsley have lost their last 3

Wolves vs Chelsea 1/3

That as a double pays about 6/5

That works for me. Cardiff are strong at home and have only lost to good sides recently. Chelsea on a good run, although I wouldn't necessarily expect too many goals in that game they should take it.

I've got Cardiff in with Newcastle. Double pays at 1.49/1 on Bet365.

[Beeston Brawler]

Lay multiple....

Sunderland, Wolves, Burnley, Wigan - 1/2

Hull, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Peterborough, Brighton, Southampton, Dagenham, Darlington - 15/2

Yeah I kept the faith in Claridge and his treble includes Newcastle

All the best

Fucking unpredictable Tykes

Super six outright winners Kessler M 7/1,
What do you guys think?
There is no way Kessler going to loose in Denmark to Froch, unless Froch KO him, which is most unlikely to happen.
If Kessler wins and I do believe he will, Kessler will be again favourite
I may bet £25 on Kessler to win outright

Im a Kessler fan but he was seriously outclassed by Ward .... not sure i can see him turning the tables with that one but then again stranger things have happened ...
