Didn't we sign Highton after his drugs ban? IIRC he left us to sign for Quins, spent a season there and then quit the game to become a plumber. From what i heard he got a job with a local council (might of been Warrington), where he was earning a hell of a lot more then playing rugby.

You're correct Salford signed him after being sacked by Warrington in 2001 for use of banned steriods
He repaid the faith Salford showed in him by leaving to sign for Quinns after we were relegated at the end of the 2002 season. Alker , Baynes , Coley stuck with us ( As did Paul Highton ) which is why they should be considered for pack of the decade and Highton D won't be . If he is earning more being a Plumber for Warrington Council seems like you're still paying for him now ..

Ok so after much deliberation I've cobbled this together. We appear to have had a good number of decent props but not many good loose forwards.

Highton
Alker
Rutgerson
Adamson
Coley

and this is the toughest part, I've worked out the following players stats;
Brown
Charles (with both both S.L. and NL1 stats)
Wainwright
Swain
Finnigan

and have now whittled it down to Charles & Finnigan and for now thats the best I can do.
I would have no complaints about Cashmere, Stapo, Baynes or even to a lesser extent Korki making the team (although every team needs a good bench! )

Now I'm not saying you're right or wrong on this I’m just merely pointing to the stats! (as per usual

Incorrect i'm afarid.

Iain's right on this one. Dave Highton left at the end of 2003 season after we'd been promoted.

Sorry i C.o.cked it up there, Korki actually only made 19 errors, I'm not sure what the hell happened there. (sorry Guinness kicking in here!! )

you're a star Parky, an absolute star ) my fridge.

My word, you seem to apologise a lot when drunk. Twice in one line

Sorry ! knew he'd left us to go a superleague club but was convinced it was before the relegation, not after we'd been promoted the following year, can't seem to recollect him playing for us in the NL. better not book him to service my boiler then

and finally,this

Pack of the decade gotta be:

8. Rutgo
9. Alker
10. Korky
11. Sibbo
12. Coley
13. Charles

I would definately love to have some of these lads gracing the willows again....

My Pack Would Be Completely Different Compared To Most others

Prop - Phil Leuluai : that man works his @rse off not to get started and get the contracts he deserves
Hooker - Malcolm Alker : Just an utter asset and legend to salford
Prop - Sean Rutgerson : Any salford fan can't say you wouldn't want him in your side
Second Row - Michael Korkidas : i'd play him here because with his aggression on the field he becomes a awesome player
Second Row - Craig stapleton : once again aggression and playing style yet he still manages to break lines.
Loose forward - Luke Adamson : he's got speed yet strength yet ball handling skills and that creates one hell of a player

My Substitions for the pack would be
Prop - Andy coley : the name says enough

I can't think of any more
