Peacock a doubt for Monday. He went into the wrong dressing room after the match - no idea where he was!!! Shocker of a tackle.
Wayne Rooney is a Leeds fan, he was at last years Grand Final. Tweets about RL too apparently.

Just had a look at Wigan's famous fans on wiki quite a few on there I didn't know they watched the game. Will Greenwood, Sir Alex, Wayne Mardle, Robbie Savage and Ricky Hatton even though I think he is credited to Saints as well. There are also a few other Wigan born people who have moved away and still are linked with the club but who cares really they are hardly putting money in the club as season ticket holders or even casually.

Wasn't Giggs on the books at Salford or something? Think his dad or some relative played League too. Used to see Keane, Giggs, Scholes and few other Manu players at JJB watching Warriors play too. Think Russel Crowe has a bit of an interest in the sport too  |

I think a few footballers would be ashamed of themselves if they saw the real courage displayed on a rugby pitch. Players knocked out and still trying to play the ball. Not for them, but for their team mates. |

Think Russel Crowe has a bit of an interest in the sport too Yes Giggs Dad Danny Wilson was a stand off at Swinton in the early 80's a lot of old rugby fans say he could have been a great player but injuries robbed him. Ryan played RL at junior level but he was finished with it before he left school as he was attracting lots of attention playing football from aged 13 upwards. I have seen Giggs and Keane both at Central Park and the DW and I hear Keane also goes watching the Latics every now and again purely as a neutral and because its so cheap. As for Russell Crowe well he and a few others clubbed together and bought the South Sydney Rabbitohs and invested some big money into the club. He personally approached Sam Burgess and invited him and his mum onto a film set and offered Greg Inglis a kings ransom $700k Australian a year to play for them. I heard he also made Micheal Maguire a big pot of cash to be Head Coach and so far they are doing ok this season. They beat James Graham's Bulldogs on Friday night in a classic game. |

I was only messing about Crowe mate Was a great game that. Graham had a good game yet again and the commentators love him! He copped a right whack, but just shook his head and got on with the job. Think it was Peter Sterling calling the match and he noted the attitude, he was impressed |

Who you playing? All teams in that situation I'd say you're right - Cas are not quite the same though. How's Chase been this year? Can't say I've noticed him at all yet |

Saints at home. He was quiet early on but picking up now and lads who went against hill kr said he was outstanding that game and ran the show, very slow start but seems to be upping his form lately. Orr will be as bigger miss as chase, he's been solid consistently just doing the basics. Think Huby is back for Fev on Saturday, he was outstanding last year before the injury and was all set for the England squad. That's when we hit the rails last year as soon as he got injured. |

Always liked the look of Huby - although I seem to remember him looking like he was carrying a bit of extra weight. Good goal kicker too? Maybe McGoldrick will choose tomorrow to grow up and play a proper game? |

Castleford have a great academy set up for a smaller club. They have always had periods in ther history where they have been contenders but I feel clubs like them, Wakefield and Salford have been bullied into getting new stadia than allowing them to expand there own academy programmes.

There's been a lot of good players come through the ranks at Cas but its very hard to keep hold of them and you can't blame them for leaving. People like Joe Westerman not at hull, Michael Shenton, a mate of mine Liam Watts is doing well at Hull KR, he wa at Cas never got a game and is in the England knights programme now. A lad at wakie I use to play with Kyle Wood started at Cas he's doing ok this season. Greg Eden looks good too, think we kept the wrong full back put it that way. Apparently Jor Arudel is now going to Hill next year and Brett Ferres to Huddersfield, very frustrating club to support |

Nathan Brown was basically wanking over Greg Eden after Hudds beat Leeds. Looks good! Cas have a great history of bringing players through. They can take credit for a fair few players in SL as Brick Top pointed out. Wakefield and Salford however? Hmmm! |
