Not Tony, although good answer, he must have switched allegiances around then.

A bit of a clue, he arrived at the same time as Bateman and Ellis.

Steve Molloy?

Only messing Roland Phillips!

Yes! Well in 'MPN'. His debut was stunning, the saints forwards couldn't pin him down and he made it look easy. He bounced back many saints forwards including Ward (fantastic big prop). He was a tough old South Wales fella, 6 foot 1 and nearly 18 stone. He didn't need any coaching, just give him the ball. Out of all the Wire forwards I've seen over the years, I've never seen anyone have so much natural power and ease with which he could gain yards through the opposing pack. Well in MPN.

Steve Malloy was good, shame he went to Leeds, like Mercer around that time.

This one’s a bit of a conundrum.
It’s listed in the Warrington results archive as the Stains,
It’s not one I remember though

Do you remember the other Welsh RU trialist who was stretchered off with what I think was a broken leg? That was a very short RL career, only slightly longer than Dallas Meade's.

Struggling MPN

He was a winger and Welsh RU International. He was never selected for his country again after the trial at Wilderspool.

If he was Welsh I would guess at Jones, Jenkins, Davies, or Williams.

His ethnicity rules out any of those traditional Welsh names.

The answer is Glen Webbe

Good one MPN

A) The nephew debuted with us 1978, his uncle debuted with us 1982.

B) The son debuted with us 2005, his father debuted with us 1973.


Can you name the four people?

A) ???
B) Roy Pickersgill, Steve Pickersgill

Any photo of the 1948/49 team which was the first time I saw Warrington play in Hull? As stated above better players came in and I only remember 3 players from the 1946 photo that were in the 48/49 side -Helme,Ryan and Featherstone. Others I recall include Bath, Francis, Bevan,Pimblett,Fishwick and Prescott.

Note you are located in Jo'Burg. I lived in South Africa from 1966-1968 and spent a few months in Modderfontein before moving to Sasolburg.

A) Am i on the right lines with either a Duane, Cunningham or Worrall, SB?

A - Paul Cullen - (Mike Cooper)

Roy and Steve Pickersgill is correct.
Sadly Roy is no longer with us, passed away a few years ago.


MPN - it wasn’t any of those.

BWW - I don’t know about those, but not who I have in mind.

The nephew is on Wires71 original picture.

A - Mike Kelly

Jinking Jimmy (but no idea who his uncle is)?

That’s correct for the nephew

The uncle came to us from the 81/82 Leigh first division winning team.
