I was never comfortable with the stripping of the Fulham/London team

OK Steve Diamond & Hussein M'Barki were both rubbish. But Bob Jackson was one of the best signings we ever made.

Don't forget Dave Allen. In fact, the digtally challenged, whisky drinking, stool sitting, Irish funnyman of the same name, would have made a better RL player.

I forgot about Dave Allen. When Steve Diamond & Hussein M'Barki left Fulham they were their leading goal & try scorers. So what went wrong?

But felt like we were kicking a team while they were down.

any of the older generation remember steve peters...add to that steve blocker roach never lived up to expectations..

I was never comfortable with the way we stripped the Leigh team of players in the earlier 1970s either. Id been used to players working their way up through the ranks and then suddenly we had a cheque book team that did win a lot of trophies but sadly, in my eyes, wasn't a true Warrington team. The only saving grace was that the likes of Parry Gordon, Brian Brady and Tommy Conroy were able to enjoy that period of success.

Wigan did it to us all the time...... Until Moran arrived.

Silver2, I started supporting just after that, talk about missing the boat...74-75 was my first season!

Remember after one of Roach's shall we say 'more memorable games' going for a beer in the Causeway and my mucka was give him the rounds of the kitchen to which Blocker replied 'if you don't shut up I'll put you through the window' then promptly drank my mates pint and walked out. Oh those heady days of political correctness.

Yeah again another who came after his team had finished with him, he was tough who could play and read a game but not the quickest player, Blocker only got himself into gear with the return of Boyd, was Boyd brought back for the cup? they both had stormers in the CC Semi, alas at the time it wasn't to be.

We paid Leigh good money at the time for Murphy and two forwards who at the time were not that well rated by the RL fraternity, fortunately Murphy did with I believe Clarkson costing more than Chisnall, RIP both and Parry.

Don't forget we also signed Kevin Ashcroft from Leigh. So that's 3 internationals and Geoff Clarkson - who although something of a journeyman, was a pretty handy forward to have on board.

The best player we ever signed from Leigh in 70's was Tommy Martyn.
