I remember Paul Sculthorpe as a dirty but very good player but one whose career was far too short to be described as a great of the game because, frankly, his body simply wasn't up to it.

If his body couldn't cope with the physical demands of top flight rugby he can hardly be called a hard case.

Sadly for Sculthorpe and Stains fans, he will purely be remembered as a niggly, biscuit-boned, cheap shot merchant. It's that simple.

We won't even mention his comedy voice.

I just did. I suggest you do the same. A cheap shot to the back of the head, one that misses and one that tickles Ryans chin. Wowee. Ryan remains on his feet throughout.

I know that by the standards of the Softcocks you watch week in week out you might consider that to be biff but I can assure you it isn't.

BTW, I note you have to harp back to a player long since retired seeing how it's obvious from recent years that nobody in this Saints team can intimidate ANYBODY in the Leeds team.

Have you been (being in Gotcha speak) knocking around with AP out of school?

His legs went and Diskin caught him

Knocked oot

Which is the reason we have tended to bully them of late! In fact, Bailey is one the men leading the intimidation and as such is probably one of the biggest reasons Saints remain Grand Final bitches.

as good as he was that describes sculthorpe to a T.
if we are harping back lets not forget cheap shot nickle or matautia, who used to dive at peoples knees in order to injure them.
i don't rate bailey as high as some on here. he is a niggler.he is a wind up merchant. but he is also a better player than you idiots make out.

At first sight I mis-read part of that sentence and I thought

hadn't noticed myself until you mentioned it

Which knock on?
