| Oddly I saw that article and thought the same, surely a more salient opinion would come from someone with a more recent connection to the game.

| It's getting really tedious having social outcasts from other clubs constantly popping up on here to comment on threads whose context they don't even have the faintest understanding of.

I lot on this forum never saw Murphy play.I wish we had a seventeen year old Alec on the books now.The greatest half back I have ever seen,and I have seen some great ones.

Classic ageism. But old-time legends are also prone to talking down the contemporary game in comparison to their heyday. Even Gus Risman did this in his autobiography, believing rugby league in the 1950s was nowhere near the standard of the 1930s.

I did not compare then and now,I said Murphy was the best half back I had ever seen.Like a few more on here I was lucky enough to see the team of Dixon Watkins Richards and the rest,and in my opinion that team with today's training methods would have give that team we had out on Friday,twenty points start and still won by a street.ask my mate Early Bath.

| 20 each half wouldnt have been enough. Moves were put on all over the park. Joy to watch. Big difference from 5 drives and a kick.

It’s impossible to say. Chris Hesketh was, perhaps, being modest when he said he could never play today because he never liked training. But maybe he has a point.

I think you are taking this thread completely the wrong way. Ashcroft and Murphy are both legends from the 60's and 70's era, particularly Murphy. Both are real characters and that has brought with it some very amusing quotes from the pair over the years. Both are not backwards at coming forward with their opinions on the game. Wasn't Murph's newspaper column called Murphy the Mouth?
I think the point you are missing is every time Mr Barker is short of news for the MEN he often turns to them for an opinion about Salford.

ahh apologies then...
I only read a Barker piece once and He described Warrington as the most hated club outside of Stockton heath.... I tuted and said swear word. Ive never read the dobbers column since.
Stockton heath along with lymm would be the borough/village of Warrington least interested in the working class sport of Rugby League...maybe it was the only bourough he knew or maybe he tried to get in one of Stockton heaths' fancy wine bars and Was refused entry for being a bald scruffy oik....
either way it appears he still isnt mighty with the pen...
