I liked Ben Harris. Good solid hard working centre, similar to Scott Naylor.
I assume you mean Ben. If any other Harris played for us, it must have been wiped from my memory by that hypnotist I hired to halt my depression. |

| Quote: Bull Mania "I know Declan Patten has been mentioned a lot but why would Warrington let him come on a season long loan and why would be come to us. If Sandow or Gidley get a season ending injury then suddenly Wairrngton are short in that department. Even if they wanted Patten to come out on loan, he would more likely go to an SL side like KR or wakey.'"
Not sure of the ins and outs of the situation whether it was Tony Smith or Patten himself, but Brian Smith tried to get him on loan at Wakefield before the start of the season and was turned down. |

He was marginally better than Nick Zisti |

We've had this strange debate before. Some people remember Ben Harris very differently from others. To me he was solid and I'd never be as cruel as to liken him to Zisti. He didn't have much pace but was defensively sound.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

He also played for Australia, which many regard as some sort of recommendation...
Thought he was superb myself, brilliant defender and whilst he was never a top sprinter he was no slouch either. He could both find a gap for himself and put his winger into one. He left us to go back to a regular slot in the NRL, which is, and was then, a better league than ours, so I wouldn't take too much notice of people who slate him too much. |

I probably do him a dis-service, granted.
The view of him is probably masked as we started to hit our decline, but yes he was solid and reliable.
And he scored half his career tries for us!

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

I still yearn for the re-signing of Richie Hawkyard myself.
What a talent he was. |

Etu and Walker gone to Dewsbury on loan.
Hopefully that paves the way for us to announce our new star 7.

Who funnily enough, I believe is now at Keighley too. I would say behind Adam Brook in the pecking order, but I believe Richie is a fullback nowadays. |

Neither. NSW Country Origin team once. That was after he'd been with us and gone back to Australia. I forget what happened but he only did a couple years more before he was out of the game. Top flight at any rate. Still only 32 now, he could still be playing somewhere if he didn't quit because of injury. |

He moved into the second row for a while and then retired because of injury iirc. |
