Oh, you're right. Not sure what false memory i've got then. I definitely remember Gaz giving him a bath though.

Widnes Vikings playing Sheffield Eagles at Don Valley Stadium last season,
Widnes have a drop-out under their own posts...kicker (forget who it was now) slices his kick...the ball ends up going dead behind him.

Makes a change!

THINK you may be thinking of 06 when Horne played half back but obviously would ahve been defending in the centres opposite, you guessed it, Mark Gasnier.
Could be wrong like but in 03, I think the centres for Aus were two donkeys like Wing and somebody where with Gleeson and Senior in their heyday, I actually thought we had the better centres...

wing and bailey were the centres in game 1. senior got the better of bailey quite convincingly, especially for the scrumbase try he scored.

de vere replaced bailey in the centres for games 2 & 3.

wing was a very good player and did us a lot of damage in other years coming off the bench at hooker. he wasn't a centre though, just that they had a lot of injuries that year.

gower played stand off as well. he wasn't comfortable there, he was a 7 or 9.

...and we still couldn't win!

The drop out from Sheffield this year on SKY (I can't remember who it was against) when the ball travelled all the way up the pitch and went out at the back. Just the opposition players chasing the ball and never getting anywhere near it...

Defended in the centres, that must be it.

That '03 team was easily the worst Australian team i've ever seen. Not any of the teams that have followed since, that I annually hear are the "worst Kangaroos ever" on here. Phil Bailey a Kangaroo is a disgrace.

I agree. Hence why I said for once in living memory I thought we had better centres...
tbf we played one game completely with 12 men and I thought we were unlucky not to win that series and we lost 3-0, it could EASILY have been a British win, good series I thought.

You lost 4 games in a row against us in the last 5 minutes. First game of the 2004 Tri-Nations continued where the Ashes left off. I loved it, but i'm sure it was highly frustrating. Hindmarsh and Minichiello won us that 2004 game.

I was there, cracking atmosphere and I wish they could take more test matches to the COM, great stadium and we got about 35-40,000 i think.

Type in Youtube:

Henry Paul drop out try.


Quality (and against the auld enemy too).

I think it was in 2009, In a hull fc v hull kr game and after a FC player scores a try (number 4 i think it was) he punches his fist in the air to celebrate and punches Dowes right on the chin.

Yeah, that was Graeme Horne I think. There'sfootage of it on youtube but I can't find it.

When forum legend Barry McKenzie was crashing over seemingly at will for 4 pointers for the mighty De La Salle a few years ago I recall during a particularly hard game against the Menai Roosters (which we won 18-16) their halfback got his head split open by a swooping Magpie as he tried to add the extras following a try. He had to leave the field for 10 stitches in his scalp.
