A bit of a trouncing for Big Ben and the Fijian team in their warm up versus England. As far as Ralph Rimmer’s “education” is concerned, the RFL are presently drumming into him that, as well as no arrests being made, the only things to go missing were the points for Fiji.

Disappointment too for Caleb & Luis as Lebanon eased past Wales in their warm up, 38-22. Bongser noted that result as he is off work on the 23rd and Oirish Mick from The Egerton is coming to Leigh to join him in a late morning sesh in Burke’s before watching Lebanon v Ireland at HQ.

Is anyone else attending a RLWC match in Leigh? Folk seem a little disinterested.

England team leaves me a little cold, so instead I am going for PNG - "Go the Kumuls"

Not only was is good to see Ben make a decent account of himself last night, it was even better to see Lam with Big Mal. Can only bode well to raise our profile even more. Of all the signings Derek has made in all of his stints at the club, this for me is his greatest.

I support England. Lam sat next to Mal. Have you already written England off?

Add to the list. Jordan Dezaria (France). Only played a couple of games but should still count.

Good spot, Evvo. It will be edited in as soon as the site stops misbehaving. It also affords another "Leigh 1-2-3-4 TRY" at this world cup.

Watched tonight's match slightly behindtimes on I-Player and quite enjoyed it. Good luck to the Greeks - even though they were occasionally bearing gifts!
