Old time players, underlying health issues, had been ill for some time , Stuart Kelly, forward, prop, a very hard man, played 10 games, wakey bought him to toughen up the pack, his reputation went before him with the RFL. Terrible disciplinary record but feared no one., 1970-71
I remember Salford away, league match, Salford were in their heydays. However, we did loose but, they had a very big prop called Charlie Bott, a renowned rough big lad, Kelly was slim, fit but very hard in an era where punches were often the norm. Читать дальше...

How good was we under Monie in 98. We only let in more than 18 points on one occasion throughout the year in both competitions and we still won the game and other than the Wembley blip we only lost 2 games all year which were both against Leeds who we beat when it mattered in the play offs and Grand Final.

Can you believe that idiot Peter Norbury sacked Monie the next season?

I believe the first thing Maurice Lindsay did when he took over for the second time is offer Monie his job back but Monie refused. Читать дальше...

They mention the clubs that will be ok but Wigan have been in the red year after year and that’s when they have been playing, I think there’s going to be very nervous chairmen at these so called big clubs.

Just a question. When did the ptb first become an almost certain way of recycling the ball? I have been looking through some old Pathe film from before ww2 and more often than not the player with the ball would hack it forward at the ptb.

If they replace Chase Stanley with Kallum Watkins they will be able to sign another overseas player (if they can find room on the salary cap)

Going back to the OP, we need players to run the reserves comp, so those not considered good enough for the first team would probably be considered for the reserves.
That said, I wonder if reserve squads will be ditched as part of cost cutting by all clubs. Its going to be very interesting and I feel some will fall by the wayside.

Halliwell was popular because we were starved of any kind of pace in our back line (Rivett was quick, but only lasted a few games). Our other centres that season at various times were Kidwell, Maden, Crouthers, Westwood, Alstead. We usually ended up having one of the back rowers (Domic or Burns) playing there. It was the most pedestrian backline I had ever seen us have.

Halliwell was not a top class player but was a welcome signing because he was quick and also we'd had a few years where... Читать дальше...

One for the oldies!

RLCares facebook page is showing this game - the hour or so extended highlights that Sky showed. For those who don't remember Sky used to show a live game on Friday and a delayed coverage extended highlights game on Sunday evening. Always games from the old Stones Bitter First Division, until one week they showed this game on the Sunday. It was a top of the table (Second Division) game.

My dad and I watched the RL games religiously when Sky started in the early 90s... Читать дальше...

Enjoyed seeing Steele Retchless wishing us all well in the present crisis. We occasionally hear that one of our former players has sadly passed away but I'd like to know more about those who left the Fulham/Crusaders/Broncos/Quins fold and have since made a success of their lives, not necessarily in rugby. If anyone has any information I'd be delighted to hear it.

I find it hard to believe the Club have never had any loans before?
We must have really been making good money until now then !
To pay rent and the ground , and players and staff wages . Day to day running costs is good Management on the Sky money ,and sponsorship, and merchandise sales !!

Each day we will give you three clues to the identity of a player who has played in Super League (at some point since 1996). You have to work out who the player is from the clues and submit your guess. There may be more than one correct answer, but you have to get the one that we have sealed in a virtual envelope.

Once the player has been correctly guessed then we will post on the thread, the thread will stay open until he is guessed or everyone loses interest. We’ll keep a running tally of correct guessers. Читать дальше...

Looking back at Millwards reign as coach, the worst thing he did was get rid of Newton and replace him with Higham. Don't get me wrong Higham was a very good player for us, I'd have loved to have kept him for a few more years but I think getting rid of Newton was his and our downfall.

What I don't like is the abuse some players get with smarmy remarks about them, they all played their parts. Guys like Liam Botham are scoffed at because he only played a handful lf games, I rated Botham as a decent 2nd rower. Читать дальше...

It took us what three weeks after Italy to “lockdown”. If that’s not being slow I don’t know what is.
