recently at a sportsmans dinner in kowloon (hong kong) with a former leeds player and he told my how schoey and several other players feined injury so they didn't have to go play wigan on a sunday "drinking" night because it would be losing pay the result a nice little 19-0 win for the loiners and £500 win bonus.

Great story and the tale may have stood up had it not been for the fact Schofield played and even scored in that game he allegedly feigned injury in order to miss and get blathered instead.

It was on a Sunday though.

Garry Schofield have an imposter now?

He does, it's Phil Daly isn't it Gotcha....

Love him or hate him,what he says is usually right , compared to the Sky muppets,Stevo,Clarke and Hemmings.
Hoping to get along to the charity game at Eastmoor on Easter Sunday should be a great afternoon for a very worthy cause.

The board of Barrow Raiders would disagree.

I disagree too. He spouts off rubbish for the sake of trying to be controversial. Yes, he may get a few things right but he gets a hell of a lot wrong too.

Although he did retweet me a couple of months ago, so on that occasion his judgement was correct

Just for the (useless!!) record, the try scorers in that 19-0 win at Wigan were Phil Ford 2 & John Bentley. Schoey topped it all off with a sexy drop goal! But yeah, the man is a tool!

Barrow chairman Des Johnston banned from rugby league at the moment IIRC

The missing regular and fairly regular players from that game were: Paul Dixon, Carl Gibson, tea-total Ellery Hanley, Tetley-total Dave Heron, Cavill Heugh, Colin Maskill and Shaun Wane.

Andy Platt let himself down by being utterly useless in the Australian competition. As many of my Auckland Warriors mates described him during his tenure there? [i"He's done absolutely nothing apart from bludge a wage!"[/i

Funnily enough, not an opinion voiced by his coach Frank Endacott in his autobiography.

Are you sure your pals weren't talking about Denis Betts ?

Platt was crocked before he got to Auckland.
