Let their country down ?

You having a laugh!

Didn't he also sign Tricky Trindall to replace him?

yeah he did think he only played about 3 games did he want swap kc to that season

Another rumour was that he wanted rid of cunningham and was going to replace him with a guy called Richard Pachniuk from Batley.

I wonder how true that one is. There were several disputes at the club in the mid to late 1990s, all of which seemed to involve Eric Hughes. Because he was softly spoken, the other party always tended to get the blame. It was Eric who leaked this story in order to justify the suspension of Hanley IIRC. Hanley was a bit bonkers when it came to tactics, but surely even he couldn't have been this daft (he did deny it as well)?

He definitely didn't take to Tommy for some reason though.

I got the impression Hanley was power mad, though. So it may well have been his plan to get rid of some big guns to show the squad that no-one was guarenteed a place at saints.

No, you spell that "F.A.R.R.E.L.L." mate.

That's Kris Radlinski.

Newlove, Farrell and Radlinski couldn't tackle....what game do these dimwits watch....three of the greatest RL players of our time, and all three could tackle especially Farrell

Really good player, I remember his transfer making headlines.

Radlinski was a doormat against Austrailia, IMO he's probably the biggest internation failure I've seen. Newlove was world class when he could be d, and Farrell was alright for GB, he never really lived up to expectations though, but he was solid enough.

Biggest let down for me at test level though was Shaun Edwards.

Whar about Riche Blackmore and Antony Sullivan. Quality players. Whatever happened to Joey Hayes anyone?

Joey Hayes is a physio down Saints these days.

thats good to hear. Wasnt a bad player but seemed to small. Saw him on Challenge cup few years ago.

Seen him on the big screen a couple of times handing out treatment, so he must have been visible on Sky Tv at some time during the broadcast.
