No.1https://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u131/EastCoastTiger/GBvND1958small.jpg" >

From 1988 tour. These should be easy for most fans in their 30s or older.

No.2



No.3

No. 2 is Lee Crooks, I think.

No. 3 I should know. He has a look of Paul Dixon but I don't think it's him. In the background is the late Roy Powell, one of the most reliable players I've ever seen.

Tour game. Old Australian numbering. 9 = second-row?

That referee, is it Barry Gomersall by any chance?

No, not Gomersall.

But thanks for the other ansers. I thought 2 was Crooks but was not sure. According to me list Groves may well have work 9 assuming the list is not in numerical order and has the front row named first. Was Medley a hooker? If so the list now makes sense.

I'd love to know the first one. I guess there's not many people who would remember players from 1958. And yet Karalius is so easy to pick.

No, he was a second rower. He and Roy Powell formed a pretty good back row at Leeds. Roy tackled everything that moved, whilst Medley had amazing pace for a big guy. IIRC during the sprint tests for the 88 tour, he was second only to Offiah.

Medley was never an 80 minute player, sadly, and in the days of two subs could never last. He would have been a lot better in the modern game.

Plus, Mal Reilly (GB coach, and Leeds coach for a bit) did not like him at all.

The pack listed is Haggerty, Medley, Dixon, Case, Groves, Crooks - in that order. So I'm not sure who played where.

Pics 2 and 3... was it this game?

wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/in ... ge_id=1204

If so, the GB team was... Paul Loughlin, Phil Ford, Garry Schofield, David Stephenson, Henderson Gill, David Hulme, Mike Ford, Brian Case, Paul Groves, Lee Crooks, Roy Powell, Paul Medley, Roy Haggerty.
Subs: Karl Fairbank.

Yep. And that list has the pack around the other way so I think that Case, Groves and Crooks must have been the front row.
