SDPM..are you gonna put a little down on the lottery tonight? If so, put down a pound for me. If I win I'll give you at least 50 pounds.

The only time they were undefeated was before they'd played their first game.

Btw, I found this interesting MT piece from before the 2001 draft.

Any particular team you'd be interested in buying?

Leigh would be on the list but they ground share and I don't want to ground share so maybe someone out of the North West Counties League, maybe Atherton LR out of the First Division, their only 5 minutes away.

£50 out of £100 million the words "tight, ducks, bottom" spring to mind.

"I think Mark's gonna do very well," Martin said, "because he's got a great approach to the game. He's not one that gets caught up in his emotions. He's very much in control of himself. And when you go through 162 games you've got to be able to approach the game in that respect."

You two are like the Odd Couple.

If I win £100 million I doubt a few quid saved is going to matter.

Why do you say that? Often opposites attract. Look at many, if not most, married couples.

They are indeed, and will share with Leigh Centurions.

If the British Lottery works anything like the California Lottery, winning 100 mil means you will likely get a check for about 35. You could get 100 mil but you have to take it in 26 annual payments; or a lump sum up front of about half the ammount. Then they take out taxes up front.

Do the leagues run parallel to one another?

I don't know how they work it, it isn't the British lottery tonight it's the European one, plus with it being European, Tony Blair and his cronies wouldn't see it I'd dump it in a tax haven.
