| Quote: Andy Gilder "Why do they have to be internationals?
Your point was the rugby union in England was incapable of producing its own players up to the standard of those produced by rugby league.
Are you shifting the goalposts now you've realised how silly that comment was?
Where do you think the most prolific rugby league try scorer of the 1990s came from?
Closer to home, who was Keith Senior playing for when he was picked up by Sheffield Eagles?'"
Hudds YMCA RUFC? |

| Quote: AdmiralHanson "John Bentley was one ... Hadn't Big Jim Fallon had a game for England before he signed for us ?'"
Bentley was a full England International as far as I recall. He came to Leeds after royally mouthing off about Will Carling - and with some justification - thus attracting the disaffected label.
Jim Fallon was England 'A' rather than full England wasn't he?
(I could be wrong and if I were, fairly unusually for me, I don't think I'd care on this one.) |

| I don't know what I'm more shocked at tvoc, the fact that you could be wrong, or that you are showing disinterest in this possibility....   |

rosslyn park iirc, my point was that if the said journo thinks RL is a joke sport then why does it's players attract interest from the other (in his thinking more superiour) code? it was more of a go at him rather than the english RU but again you only came up with 2 names bentos and fallon (who was a b international). in fact i played on the same team as bentos and doddie weir last year whilst in kowloon, so i've nothing against RU, just journos like fissler who want to put our great game down. and a leeds far better than senior came from local RU. |

I know it's not the point you are making, but wiki and other sources say Hudds YMCA
I played with Bentos and against Doddie ironically. |

John destroyed Carling when they played against each other Yorks V Durham and North V London..
I could understand why he was hacked off, one didn't get picked, the other was made captain. |

Martin Offiah came from there? Well you learn something new every day.
I assume you two are discussing Senior and Offiah but not neccessarily at the same time. |

if you were on the wing in those wigan teams, and had pace, you'd score tries as you usually had a pretty good centre inside you.
Preston was Fylde RU iirc |

Now that we're nearing 6 pages in...
Could I be the one to refer people back to the thread title? Has it actually been confirmed anywhere?

They were also all s**t during that period and not worth signing. |
