The hooker for next year has already been lined up. I think he is waiting to see if we stay in this division before signing.

Funny you should post that because last night I was on the train to Atherton and coincidentally bumped into Black,s agent.

He was helping me with my sudoku puzzle and I happened to remark it was harder than watching Leigh RLFC. He then told me about he being Black,s agent and intimated he won,t be at Fax much longer.

I can,t say more on here as it would be betraying a confidence. But I,ll leave it at that apart from saying I added that I was dead chuffed with what he had told me.

Good one Frankie

Thankyou for posting that because its amazing how nobody believes my anecdotes.

After our match on Sunday I was suicidal and couldn,t risk staying alone in my luxurious apartment here in the posh part of Salford, for obvious reasons.

As soon as I got home I phoned Quantas to see if they had any standby tickets on their flight to Oz later that evening. To my relief they did so I booked a fight over the telephone and hotfooted it to Manchester Airport.

I arrived in Sydney at 10am Monday and took a helicopter flight to Camberra. By 11-30am I was in discussions with an official there about a visa for Joe Williams. When I broke down and told him about Leigh,s performance on the Sunday he was clearly moved and told me he,d sort it within the hour. I took the next available flight home.

No thanks are necessary from anyone as there are lots of Leythers like me. I wasn,t going to post about it because I didn,t want to get the official in trouble but he phoned this morning to ask was I feeling better.

I might have got the day and timings wrong cos I was a bit disorientated due to Oz being in a differant time zone.
