Karl Pratt - joined Leeds for an astonishing £150,000 where is he now?
Widnes winger Misili 'The Missile' Manu, turned out to be a dud.

That they won the game was almost entirely down to the craft of Holmes and Woods. You've got a good memory, given I was at that game and you weren't  |

apparantly the "Eric Cantona of Rugby League" according to whoever signed him....Van de velde probably'"
Woa, woa, woa.... Hang on a min
You can`t be claiming that Tony Tatupu got labelled as the "Eric Cantona of Rugby League" as i remember stating that and was quickly shot down in flames by Paul Youane who said that he was never labelled as that.
Strange how someone else remembers the same quote |

What was the name of the lad from Wigan, Phil Jones. He had a fair bit of hype at one time.

Blooming heck Rob can't remember shooting you down in flames on that one. I guess it has just got lost amongst all the other times I have.
I am slightly worried that you've waited years harbouring the grudge ready to leap the moment your mate mentions this non-existent Tony Tatupo / Eric Cantona quote by Van De Velde. Wasn't it Dorahy who signed him anyway?

| Quote: Wires71 "Got no axe to grind with the other players you quote, nor am I anti-union I just enjoyed seeing the hubris of Mr Gallagher being shown up for exactly that.'"
Isn't the idea that Gallagher is a e rugby player because he couldn't hack it in League, the same as saying that Andy Farrell is a rotten rugby player because he was gash at Union?? |

Quite bizarrely, yes....  ....The numptys at Twickenham only selected him to try to justify wasting so much cash on him...  |

"The Warrington people hadn't had success for a few years, but there's no speccy in the world as good. They are very knowledgeable and appreciative of hard work. What they like is honesty. They want the team to try; if they fail they fail, but they expect honesty. They know when players don't put it in."

He is playing at Sedgley and has turned down numerous full RU premership offers cause he earns so much outside the game according to Sedgeleys members |

Thought you were just naming a load of Wigan players until you included these two. |
