Captain of wire at Wembley tomorrow - how good would it be to see him lift the trophy

Re: Chris Hill : Fri Aug 26, 2016 9:21 pm  

Would be brilliant to see Hilly lift the Challenge Cup as a club captain, just a shame it isn't our club... yet!

Hill gave blood, sweat and tears for us week after week, year after year and I think all Leythers recognise that.

No problems with Hull but definitely rooting for Hilly and the Wire tomorrow.

Give 'em hell Chris!

Personally I am hoping for a Hull victory for the sake of Lee Radford. I have huge respect for this guy.

Ever since he was a very young head coach making his name at East Hull, who used to bring his side down to Grasmere Street to play Leigh East on a regular basis

His team played great open RL, always in the correct spirit, and he had time for everyone in the Leigh East club post match. To see young Lee now on the verge of being a Wembley Challenge Cup winning coach is absolutely brilliant and must be awe inspiring to every single British coach in the game.

Good luck Lee, it just shows what hard work and determination can achieve. I wish you the best of luck.

Personally I'm hoping for a draw..And anyone can lift it at Hudds.

Another big Chris Hill fan here.
An outstanding Leigh Centurions forward who went on to play SL for Wire (a team/club that I really like) & then on to represent England.

Hoping for a Wire win despite not liking their coach much, how can anyone trust a man that can't look you in the eye when talking ? Proper iffy that.

Ste I agree , Chris Hill has been a credit to the sport, I don't think he will ever forget where he started his Rugby career,I'm not really bothered who wins the CC cup,but I've never been a fan of Smug Smith,even when he was at Hudds,I will watch a bit of the game, in between the Horse Racing at Newmarket and Good wood, and the Cricket at Lords.
