No1 saint, I'd say the is a very good chance we've played against each other a good few times.

His side burns was bigger than most players

Played with moggy at for the countie. Thick as fook but good hard lad, I used to sit with him on coach and in changies.

I know Mike Peters (not that well) but he'd gone to Wigan when I got to Hindley (played against him). I had a season in the u18's with Moggy, very nice fella

Corzy I remember too , very tall but there were plenty stories about even back then that he bottled it when he came up against big lads, you never can tell how true they are.

I once had the pleasure of playing fullback against Orrell , I lost count of the amount of times Newton,Corzy,Carney et al came steaming through lol

And Rogues I'm not sure about that story on Newton - he was back then a very tough prop ...

P.S I'm in the middle of Monie's book you reccomended, not bad so far, interesting opinion he has of Shaun Wane

Most probably you not playing anymore?

First team ? Played against the seconds end of last season, ploughing through the tedium of the lower end of the NWC leagues atm .. politics for you

Mike peters was good player, I thought he'd make it.

I got sent off in semi final for 3 high shots in a row, the tackle I walked for was on mike peters, a 8 match ban followed!!!

awch

Quite a few good young players I thought might make it. He wasnt the biggest ;ad but I always had a feeling Newton would make it, I must admit though I thought he would have ended up as a back row (I was shocked when he ended up playing 9)

Hindley, they stuck us in Div 6 to start with so we've spent the majority of the last 2 years racking up cricket scores.

If I can recall he was a loose forward before he went to Warrington with corzy and carney.

I turned Warrington down at same time they signed, I signed for widnes with a few Leigh east and Leigh miners players.

Warrington seemed to be on mission back then, IIRC Wigan suffered through too much success and alot of lads decided to go elsewhere because they thought they'd stand a better chance of making it.. (and I believe Warrington were offering more money ).

Do you remember a prop who used to play for one of the Leigh teams (might have been miners) called Murphy? really good player who I think ended up on Saints books..

Sounds like the Murphy I'm thinking of - he was a bit of a 1 man team in his club side , I remember him basically lobbing our hooker at Ashton (Jimmy Hinnegan)into one of the posts with a handoff lol
