Im sure the lads that worked along side him will not want to forget him, and this can only help spur them on to victory for his memory and the memories they have of him.

Nowt wrong with that IMO.

On the pitch maybe but did you know him personally? He was a gent. Ask anyone who knew him. Totally different to how he was on the pitch.

I cant actually understand why people are complaining about this. A rugby player says he wants to win the 4 Nations in rememberance of his mate who died a couple of weeks a go.

Whats the problem?

Apparently people said a similar thing about the Krays

did they? i dont think the Krays ever played rugby league?

Similarly im not sure why you think convicted murderers are analogous to a RL player?

I doubt whether the Krays played RL either.


But here are a few comments I've found online that people have said about the convicted murderers





[i "Salt of the earth, the twins; never the slightest trouble to anyone who knew how to handle them." "If there was anything to be done in school, they'd be utterly co-operative… they'd always be the first to help. Nothing was too much trouble."[/i

[i'Thats one fing ill say abahhht the twins... they only killed their own'[/i

[i'Gawww ... they loved their muvvah Gawd' bless 'em'[/i

[i'They was both Gentlemen... both of 'em'[/i

[i'Least you could leave your back door unlocked when the Krays lived round here'[/i

[i'The twins was totally different when you got to know 'em'

enough.
