They did get a couple of lads from Simmies yes, but its a culmination of a lot of things that has been the problems for Simmies this year.......we will bonce back tho folks.



As for them not entering the National Cup, I think its so they can concentrate on promotion, I dont think they want to risk that by gettting a daft draw up in Hull, Cumbria or Yorkshire and getting injuries that could hinder this, the less games you have to play the less chance of injuries.

i have no doubts simmies wont bounce back, theyre a cracking side that have done well for years. simmies are a side that have competed with the best. west bank have a long way to go to get anywhere near them or any other ncl/nwc prem side. the odd upset in the lancs cup doesnt mean to much, week in week out rugby league is what counts. good on them though for having ambition, but i still think playing against the best sides will make them better.

We got 1 player from simmies all the other lads at the club av all come thru the youth setup so it's all been down to hard work from the club. We didn't enter the national because we want to secure are league and try and get to the perm division. As for saying the lancs cup is a second rate comp is a joke because all teams that enter want to win it and us and bank quay will be trying are best to win it. And the winner get into challenge cup round 1 and will be at home to seaton rangers so the competition is not that much of a joke is it.

I agree mate, the Lancs Cup is not Second rate, and I for one will be there to cheers on West Bank.



The 2 players that signed from Simmies Were Shaun Macca last year and Nicky Fox this year, altho you could also say Dave Jones last year aswell!!

Dave started thru west bank junior set up and Nicky signed to use from us in the first place

Just to make my point clearer...Spring View, only re-established in 2004, bar last year have risen through the leagues from Div 6. Over the last couple of seasons we have had some real crackers with the likes of West Bank, only one of those games finishing with them beating us convincingley at our place last year, in fact 6 months previous we managed to beat them, however I have no doubt they are a much improved side....a side I have nothing but respect for.



We have our own purpose built club & pitch and this season have 2 open age sides all be it our second team are relying on friendlies until they can be entered next year, we are also well on our way to club mark with youth sides being set up starting up in the very near future to help us achieve club mark.



Considering that we are in Wigan and have the likes of St Pat's, St Judes, St Cuthberts, Ince Rose Bridge, Hindley on our doorstep, and all that has been achieved at SV over the last 6 years, I consider it abit of an insult for someone to say that we have no 'go forward'.





As would other clubs I suspect.

As I said, I didnt mean to offend anyone



But after all it is a forum where you voice your OPINIONS if you dont agree with them then thats fine but it is my OPINION!!!!

Cant see how someone from simmies is talkin about go forward wat go forward have simmies got no club, no youth set up, a very ageing team and IMO its going be a trophy less year...

Shimmy are you plain STOOPID???????????



I am giving compliments about West Bank Bears here and you are having a go at Simmies

I respect anyone's opinion, however its difficult to accept your's when its clearly based on a very limited knowledge of what is going on at allot of clubs that are thriving throughout NWC and NCL

Looks like business is about to pick up in D2. Widnes St Maries 1st team have resigned from NCL Div 1 (they were top) and now all players are eligible for their 2nd team. Looks like West Bank may not go unbeaten after all!



And 'Shimmy' why don't you get your own Div 6 thread, like cjl pointed out on Trust In Widnes, you don't play for the 1sts!!!

Hahahaha sting in the tail is that what your worried about us going the season in the league unbeaten. Aslong as we finish top that all that's matters and least we know your lot (hfh) wont get promoted then coz woolston and Dalton and maries will all finish above you

Why would I be worried about you finishing unbeaten? It would be a hell of an achievement. We have probably left ourselves too much to do now (having lost 5) but if we can finish in the top half it will be an improvement on last year and we have some quality kids waiting to step up next season to catapult us on.

Dan I'm afraid you are mistaken, St Maries have resigned.



FWIW I think Div 2 will finish...



1. West Bank

2. St Maries

3. Woolston

4/5/6 will be HFH, Dalton and Askam.



Adlington will tail off in the 2nd half of the season.

until all ncl 1st teams are entered then i personally feel the county cups are second fiddle. all teams entered may want to win it but a lot cant due to unavailability of ncl based players. its a 2nd rate cup comp.

go and wobble your head you melt! are your initials GB?

Not officially pal.



Morning all

Further to my e-mail regarding St Maries, the club has still not resigned from the National Conference League. None of the details which I gave – and which have to be ratified by the NWCL committee – can be implemented until the club sends official notification to the NCL.

This is my first season at HFH, I was formally of West Bank Swans

Played mostly at #6, one of your lads always took exception to me and always wanted to fight me for some reason

Haha, because you took the if i remember correctly!!!



Good player, and if i remember correctly i still owe you one for that sly punch in our last game!

Hand on heart, I have never purposely punched anyone 'slyly' in a tackle!!!!

Haha I knew it was you on here!!
