Excellent.

Now theres a good example.

didn't make top level tho Baz

Right well I played for Leigh untill they dropped the academy thing and I was shifted off to wire.

No really, I was an amateur RL player but was much better at swimming and was top class at that. When I was younger I was really good at all sports but swimming was the main one. I played rugby for one of the top schools in the country but I dislocated my left knee three times and my right one twice so my whole sporting career was shattered. I could of also been a table tennis player but gave it up also because of my knees.

I now play snooker.

Sounds like injuries did you no favours though

what year was you at Leigh? We may have played together

I have updated my post, I was not meant to click submit

nevermind.

it was hard to take at the time of all the injuries. Worst thing for me though is I played from age of 6 and I'm still playing now and they are only real injuries i've ever had which cost me.

I felt really let down by widnes as I turned down 2 big clubs to go there. They really sold the club to me and my dad. They told me I was a player the club would build the next great widnes around!

2 broken arms later they fooked me off!!!!

Im pretty sure they say that to every young player.

How old are you now, if you don't mind me asking?

Injuries are a killer as I had a similar experience if you look on the last page.

I'm 30 now mate. The arms and ankle have never been a problem since.

Maybe it wasn't to be

What about you Barry mac. Did you ever play?

up and coming stand off with saints colts before tearing my cruciate ligament then left with a limp for the rest of my life.

Only up to under 21 level

I played for a club called De La Salle Caringbah.

Beer, women and parties soon made me lose interest
