| Saints signed Stuart Evans in the late 80s (?). Pretty sure he was a prop in both codes. Don't recall him being much cop for them though.

| Cliff Watson didn’t do too badly. Signed in 1960 after Saints advertised for top class RU forwards.

He was rubbish, in fact he was [iuber[/i rubbish. He made Rowland Phillips look like Les Boyd.
He was better then Mark Jones though. He was built like an outside lavvy and stunk to the same extent. Physique of Sylvester Stallone, rugby league ability of Sylvester Pussycat.
Sufferin sucotash, indeed.

| Stuart Evans was tosh, but in the same breath, was nobody's fool if a certain story is to be believed, regarding himself and Gary Stretch (a boxer from At Helens in the late 80's/early 90's) in a local chippy.

Roland Phillips definitely did and here is is with number 10 on his back
Mike Nicholas MBE was signed as a second row, and moved to prop after his knee went at Wembley.

I'm sure it was Kevin Ward who had an altercation with Gary Stretch.

| They're all [ilame under the cap[/i in Sintellins, so I'm not surprised that the story has so many variants.
By the end of the week, it may well be that unfunny twunt Johnny Vegas, or his funnier sidekick, Monkehhh.

I'd forgotten about him
They might as well've signed Peter Powell or even Jenny

The chippy incident was between Stretch and Paul Forber's brother
