A poor Sally Cinnamon impression.

A bit like comparing Arthur Askey to Peter Kay

Think it was 93-94. Probably Brian Johnson's poorest signing (along with Mateaki Mafi).

Moana Thompson?

Anyone remember Teitzel's supposed nickname? i'm sure he gave it to himself it was that cheesey!

Also on Mafi, wasn't he signed in the Dorahy/Murphy era along with Salesi Finau???

If memory serves Craig Teitzel had just had a bad injury before we signed him, neck injury I think, and we pretty much coaxed him out of retirement. The state the club was in at the time, if you were upright you were in.

As we are some way of piste here, I think Chis Hill is showing signs of coming good again if his Hull performance was anything to go by. Difficult as it must be to match last years impact, I am sure he will be fine and his form will return as we reach the business end of the season

Veering back off topic again (since I have nothing to contribute other to the Chris Hill debate, other than if Cooper is NRL material then Hill is Kangaroo material) I still have horrible flashbacks to the Finau/Mafi/George Mann period.

Mafi was a classic example of how being fast in itself doesn't make you a winger. When we signed him apparently he was an Olympic Standard Sprinter. All I can say is we put him in rugby boots and he instantly turned into a Olympic Standard Donkey. With one leg. And a limp.

Finau bore an uncanny resemblance to Mr Potato Head, and that was about it really.

George Mann had amazing eyeballs. Anyone ever seen that bit in Total Recall when Arnies on Mars and his helmet crash and his eyeballs bulge in their sockets? That was George that was.

And yet we were still able to finish level on points with Wigan and Bradford at the top.

Teitzel went on to play another season in Australia after he left us, at N Queensland Cowboys.

It Was Les Boyd who recommended him to the club...its probably why Teitzel gets so much stick, because people were expecting a les boyd and that type of player doesnt come around very often do they....

Wasn't he known as the 'Butcher'?

correct, because he was in fact, a butcher.

i thought dave king got unfairly treated here, copped a lot of stick for being not very good, especially since we were playing him out of position at prop, when he was a big built second row who had done pretty well at huddersfield, which is why we signed him, he got a run in the back row towards the end of the centenary season and did pretty well, before we released him and he went back to huddersfield, and ended up playing as a centre.

Oops !! Memory not too good since I hit 50 not out

tune in next week folks for another wire player bashing...who knows it could be briers hodgson or even joel...whoever has a bad game against saints will get the bird no doubt

Joel has never had a bad game for us. Ever.
