Hmmmโฆ.are you mentally tough, self driven, hand eye coordinated & coachable then we can make you bigger, stronger, faster, improve your tactical awareness, individual skills, teamwork and if youโre good enough then youโll be big enoughโฆ
On this day 11-07-1998, 25 years ago and counting, I was lucky to marry the best wife, mum, drinking partner and incredible dancer! Happy 25th Wedding Anniversary Ali ๐ฅ๐พ๐โค๏ธ
No words needed, those who know, knowโฆ weโre just glad that 4th one split the uprights & allowed us all to party out for the next 20 years ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Thank you for all your years of service. Delivered with such grace & dignity. An amazing lady & felt very honoured to have met herโฆ

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Tom Smith.
Tom made an incredible impact for the Lions, touring in 1997 as well as 2001 and was one of the great props to play the game.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. RIP Tom โญ๏ธ

Equals my record 1998/99 16 tries in 23 games + Thomas Waldron 2014/15 16 in 22, itโs about time the forwardโs record was broken!! 17 is record by backโs Dominic Chapman 1997/98 17 in 17 & Christian Wade 2016/17 17 in 22. Letโs hope

Everyone is disappointed but you..
1. Canโt win every game
2. Won 5 points in the week
3. Have only 1 loss in 11 games
4. Did this off the back of long journeys to Newport and Grimsby with a injury savaged squad with many players playing 3 x 90+ mins in 7 days
