just checked - he announced his retirement on 2/3/2006, then came back in June 2006.

he was only 17 in 1994 - of course he would develop and grow from that point, no-one is fully grown and develop at that age.

I'd love to see those stats!



If true I bet Daryl Powell has a similar record, and he was hardly Brett Kenny!

Edwards played in an era where the Kiwis were a distant 3rd at Test level.
When he played the stats are
7 wins from 10 against the Kiwis
3 wins from 8 against Oz.

On KC-Rads. Even though they play different positions and can't really compare them in terms of skill set. However in terms of performance KC's performances pi55 all over Radlinski's. KC when he played proved to one of GB's most creative players, although his inability to pass accuratly yo his right later in his career has hindered him. As for Radlinski, he was one of the biggest international failures in the last 20-30 years.

Good work.

Re KC australiasian coaches and players when talking of KC have the deepest respect for him.
That to me says they regard him as a top quality playr.
His fellow professionals also speak likewise.

On the centres front , my personal belief is that from what ive seen the best British centres have been

1. Schofield
2. Newlove
3. Senior
4 Connolly

People are knocking senior now for his performances when his is a veteran player, however at his peak he caused the aussies and kiwis lots of problems.

my observations;

Schofield could read the game brilliantly and in attack was always a real threat. Should never have coached as what was natural to him was hard work for others so couldn't inspire.
Newlove was a natural but was completely unbothered by "big games", he'd have been just as happy to play on a park with his mates. This meant he didn't get big match nerves to cramp his performance but also meant it was no big deal if he didn't play.
Senior couldn't, and still can't to some extent, figure out how the game is played but with the ball is very destructive and can tackle hard.
Connolly was the defensive version of Schofield. Classy.

I have to say gentlemen.....I'm sexually aroused.

Yay !!!! and here's me thinking you'd missed the thread

Can anyone imagine Keiron Cunningham riding a hose?
