First year we went to Perpignan to play Catalans we ended up staying in the same hotel as the players and staff.

A few of us were on the same floor as McNamara and Medley who were on the coaching staff at the time and sharing a room.

One of our party was a bit tight for cash when we booked the weekend away, so we clubbed together and paid for his flight. The lad is a bit of a character, so as our fee for paying for his flight, we made him dress as Spiderman for the day of the game.

When we came back from lunch and were heading back out for the game we bumped into McNamara and Medley in the lift (while our mate was dressed as Spiderman)......

Spiderman turned to Messers Medley and McNamara, and said "Was that you two making all the noise in that room last night?"

Everyone, including McNamara and Medley just wet themselves laughing out of the lift. Brilliant.

And Saints the week after.

Wasn't it from about 15 yards from his own line ?

Just looked it up Saints first on 5th July, Wigan week after on 12th, both on Sky with 11.5k there for Saints and almost 17.5k for Wigan. Anyone have a tardis to take us back to that season

Mind plays tricks when so far back, certainly well in his own half.

I was up at Odsal with my brother buying our season tickets when big Les walked in, it was his first day at the club.

His wife and her sister were there, both huge women, as big as him.

One asked the girl behind the counter to order a taxi, to take them in to Bradford, my brother said we would give them a lift.

It was driving on 2 wheels down Manchester Road, I could feel the car breathing a sigh of relief when they got out......
