I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Pat Jarvis. Big time Aussie prop whose only useful function at KR was to carry the sand bucket on (prior to the days of kicking tees).
On the subject of Saints' management years ago, a story which I don't know is 100% true, but sounds about right:
A couple of Saints directors were sent to Rosslyn Park to have a look at a winger called Martin Offiah. When they reported back to the board, it went something like: " We didn't think he was much good but there was a black fellow on the other wing who could bl00dy shift"!

I think you've misunderstood a little bit
Quote: RuddyScoosers "I can't believe someone on here has made Stuart Evans out to be anything other than a huge flop in a Saints jersey!!

Evans wasnt all that bad and from all accounts he was a hard bloke and took no crap.I think a lot of the problem stemmed from not getting him fit enough or coaching him well enough,i seem to remember his debut and him having no clue about playing the ball after being tackled,if he wasnt taught the basics well then there was little hope for him.
