A coffee shop is being held in aid of the Matt Hampson Trust tomorrow morning, between 10.30-12 at the Methodist Church on Wanlip Lane, Birstall.

Raffle, brick-a-brack and prizes to be won!

Be sure to come down early to support the trust!

It's common knowledge that Geordan is out and Leo is doubtful, but not heard about Corry.

how anyone can blame this on Pat is beyond me. some people should think before they post something that makes them look that idiotic. It's not like Pat is the one who stamped on his knee! For goodness sake.

I have faith it Pat, to the end. I confess to be a bit confused with some of his decisions recently, but I'd back him all the way. It's crazy that people have been calling for his head after months of wishing he would stay another year.

Alex hasn't gone, his younger brother has.

I'm pretty gutted. I certainly rate him higher than I do Burke, and I was hoping the Anglo-Welsh cup would be his turn to shine and put the pressure on Goode. In one hand it's good that he's getting some competitive game time, but he must be wondering what his future holds with us. I certainly would...

He's not going to leeds anymore. The injury Goode has is more serious than first thought.

He's got a mass amount of talent, and I can see him being an England contender in a few years, but he needs to curb his temper a little. He could have been binned against Glos and Nottingham (I heard that one was pretty nasty fore-arm) and was shown the yellow against Saints in the A league.

I think he is quite experienced already. He did play pretty much a whole season for Leeds, including most HC games. I think he'll be pushing Cozza come the end of the season, he was storming against Glos.

Agreed. This is the chance to see what the younger players / players coming back from injury can do. I'd go for: 15. J Murphy 14. A Tuilagi 13. Smith 12. Gibson 11. Lloyd 10. Humphries 9. Bemand / Ellis 1. Moreno / Holford 2. Buckland 3. Castro 4. Hamilton 5. L Deacon (play him in the right position...

Same could be said for Mauger though.

From the Merc: "Tigers have refused to comment on reports that they want Sale's England fly half Charlie Hodgson if his contract talks break down. It is thought Sale are prepared to fork our ?300,000 a season, more than Newcastle pay Johnny Wilkinson. Hodgson wants to stay but is refusing to ru...

Thats if all these are picked. I seriously think that Goode won't get in the squad with Wilkinson and Hodgson fit. Only Corry, Ellis and Moody can be considered first choice for AR, who knows what RA will think. Jennings will have to get past 3 open-sides to get in the Ireland 22. It's a big task, b...

With those people out the team will probably be:

15. Vesty
14. Murphy
13. Cornwell
12. Gibson
11. Lloyd
10. Goode
9. Bemand
1. Moreno
2. Chuter
3. White
4. Deacon
5. Kay
6. Croft / H Tuiliagi
7. Jennings
8. Corry (c)
