Quote: chapylad "This lad must be good after only a dozen games playing at that level.
Which Amateur club did he come from?
How come nobody else spotted him other than Powell?
He will have competition on his hands for the full back spot with BJB next in line.
Maybe Lee Smith or Ryan Hall need to watch out unless we play Hall at Centre which I do not agree with.
Good competition for places is not a bad sign though.'"


Fev signed him while playing for fev lions u16's.
I believe he had offers from super league clubs, icluding yourselves. but wanted to start at the club he loves, and fair play to him i say.

Medley also scored a few tries straight from kick offs (ie. he caught the ball from the kick off/restart and then ran and scored). I can't think of anyone else doing this in any game I've seen.

As for Crooks (mentioned earlier), I remember he didn't have the best luck with injuries. He had hamstring problems when we first signed him and then famously did his shoulder in spectacular fashion in the JP semi at Bolton. I don't think he got over that while at Leeds as he put so much flab on while recovering.

And it's at this point I usually paste this imagehttp://www.fotothing.com/photos/1d0/1d089fbca19419b65b37397570c3c8a4.jpg" >

OK always rather than usually.

Didn't Tunks do his groin in the JPS semi too? I seem to recall Ray Ashton running around like an idiot and ending up headbutting Tunks in his 'area'.

Quote: tvoc "What about it? Or am I being a bit dim.

I think the reference is to another Yorkshire Cup (1st round) game V Hull at Headingley, when Crooks eventually contributed a try and 6 goals in a comeback 28-24 win once he'd got over his reluctance to play. My other major recollection from that game was that it was Peter Tunks' Leeds debut (another try scorer that day) and that he was a big ba5tard after he walked off the cricket pitch during the pre game warm up.

It was the season before the Backo game and Backo moment that made his journey over worthwhile. Pure joy.'"




4th June the day we signed Crooks. or was it the 6th?
