Hickey is playing golf, trying to keep/get fit and watching TV while using up David Hughes' money. He must be well frustrated, poor guy.

| Luke Robinson
Had real potential when he broke through at Wigan.
He started believing his own hype on a massive scale. His inability to successfully navigate roundabouts and his tell tale attitude with regards to his teammates stunted him.
He could have been world class.

I actually think Thorman's career was ruined by the NRL. He was a terrific young player and a great runner, but seemed to have that running game coached out of him in Aus.

David Bishop, could have been a great RU convert but was far more interested in fighting and drinking

Willie Mason, had some good years at Bulldogs but then flitted from wooden spoon club to club and one pr disaster to the next
Jason Robinson, could have been an all time great RL winger but spent most of his career twiddling his thumbs in RU

Don't think you can call the best winger Englands ever had and a man who won the RU World Cup a waste of potential tbh.

| 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.

Quote: craigizzard "Probably the most naturally gifted player i have ever seen. had more natural talent then Knocker but booze and cigs won.'"
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.

[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

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.
