If Leeds were after a Castleford player it should be Rangi Chase although it's a pity he isn't British.

Crooksy looks well chuffed in that pic doesn't he?

No wonder he chose to drown his sorrows with Schoey, Masky and co.

And Leeds had even tried to raise his spirits by inviting Lech Walesa along but it had little effect.

Either Harry or Greenwood had just farted before that picture was taken and Crooksy had just got a whiff...

Neither of them admitted it.

My old boss is in that photo...

Lech Walesa?

No, Paulie Gualtieri.

I'm guessing Denis Greenwood?

I can just imagine McF standing at the door with tape-measure in hand.

Ooh suits you Sir.

(Although I think it might be Bernard Coulby rather than Denis Greenwood.)

wouldn't be much use though then would he.

Well I didn't work for Lee Crooks so you've only two more to go

Was Bill Carter in charge of the programme selling division?

Absolutely.

Bill Carter was like Dennis Waterman in Little Britain - he wrote the programme, made the announcements, did the press releases, he even turned up before everyone else and unlocked the gates - and he was in charge of programme selling, yes

We really need to sign a top draw player now.

Hull KR have signed Willie Mason – like him or loathe him he’ll put s on seats.

Come Millennium Magic I’ll be looking forward more to see Mason play than I will Cross.
