I'm trying to work out where that 10 years of my life went. Christ.

just the last 10 years? I'm wondering where the last 40 went!

Tads probably wine/women/song or having kids.

Good luck to Tom, but didn’t you used to have to do 10 years at a single club to be granted a testimonial, what’s the criteria now?

joined 2104 , 9 yrs maybe a reduced contract ?

well I dont drink, have a bloody awful voice and kids? 4 brilliant grandkids though

It's an RFL discretionary testimonial for length of service to the game overall. Similar to Jamie Peacock and other players who also had a three month one despite not playing a decade at one club.

I notice the only one missing from your reply is the women Taddlers…

Was talking with a mate last night, we used to take our daughters to Baby Ballet (where exhausted Dads used to meet and drink coffee together). We remember them toddling around from before they could walk. My daughter is going to be fifteen next month!

Similarly you look at players you saw come through the Academy who have grey beards now…

married for 35 years mate. and yes I do. time just flys. not been watching as long as a lot on here. think I started about 93ish.

Gee you watched some right rubbish then Tad? Lol. 1980 me so watched even more tosh.

there was some rubbish yes. some good days in there to though

1980 for e too salford jan 26th thay's why not impressed with regressing to the 80s like a back to the future film

79/80 for me. Widnes at home was my first. Remember Atkinson scoring in the corner. We won 12 - 5 I think. . Didn't see many more wins against Widnes over the 80's and 90's.

one of my fav early games against widnes fartown semi with conway against greg , worst the crossbar semi , also at fartown the 1st cup win at fartown yorks cup with about 10 of us singing

Yep, remember them all. I cried my eyes out after the cross bar semi.
