Until Tony Smith got his hands on him, Lee Briers was a complete wasted talent. Having someone to kick him up the a*se turned him into the star that he is now.

I'd love to know where this myth that Craney was a boozer sprung up from. Mick couldn't handle 2 pints of Hull Brewery Mild, never mind a hard drinking session.

I played school rugby with Mick and he is the most naturally gifted player I've ever seen. By the same account, if he'd been subjected to any sort of strict training regime, I reckon he'd have stuffed his boots in his pocket and got the bus home. He once (only once), turned up to pre-season training at Hesslewood and Arthur Bunting asked what he was doing there, when Mick replied that he thought he'd "give this pre-season lark a try", Bunting sent him home and told him to report for normal training on the Tuesday before the first friendly of the season.

If anyone had tried to get Mick to knuckle down, we'd probably never have enjoyed his undoubted class.

The lad who every girl should avoid after he's been knocked out of the finals Robert Lui.

Faded quickly?

He was signed by Oldham at the end of that season for £65,000 and became one of the most popular players at the club.

Ste tyrer. Was heralded at saints as the next best thing. Then his attitude let him down. Ended up.with us eventually via whitehaven I think. Ended up getting sacked for a handbrake turn on the club car park. Well that was the official line.

Neil baynes. Another salford player who could have been so much more!

He should be in the England squad this time and his few stints in an Englad shirt have shown he is world class. Shame we have an Enland coach who is utterly clueless.

Think world class is an exaggeration, he was a shining light in a poor team.

If we're looking for a reserve half/hooker to add some impact I'd take Burrow over him every day.

Wasn't that Steve Bannister?

bloody hell yeah it was DOH!!!!!

Definitely, Haughton was absolutely devastating at times. He would've walked into any side in the World.

Not sure if he's been mentioned but Henry Paul you could say wasted his talent in the other code. He was one of my favourite players to watch.
