Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

When it looked like I would be coaching Warrington Wolves in 2001 I was looking at who would be captain. Now that isn't quite word-for-word, but it isn't far off.
the foreword was written by Shaun Edwards.

My rhymes and records they don't get played
Because my records and rhymes they don't get made
And if you rap like me you don't get paid
And if you roll like me you don't get laid:6355.jpg |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4729.jpg |

If I recall we went for Kelly then Widnes got promoted and he turned us down. Then it was Edwards who was thougyt to be using Warrington to get a better deal from Union.
Then we snapped Anderson up from Leeds. |

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out

Not like the interview with family and friends at the end of every chapter?
Dean Sampson's autobiog was my first and, probably, RL favourite. Can't seem to find it now, though, which is a bit of a choker as it's out of print and £15 on amazon.
Anyone read Jamie Rooney's or Joey John's book? I also reckon Sean Long's will be an interesting read. |

Waited two months for Johns' book turn up, but just couldn't get into it. Wayne Bennett's second book is a good read. |

I came up with Joynt's title for his autobiog "the quiet man" so that is another reason to have a read.
"Dont die with the music in you" is a gem, I am sure everyone involved in RL professional and semi pro and amateur would have bought or have atleast read this book by now, it sure is full of wise words, like "the" and "yes".... i got Wayne to sign my copy when i met him a couple years back, he said he enjoyed writing and would love to do more.

I've got Stevo's on hold in the library. Going to pick it up tomorrow. Hopefully it's worth the wait.

Mike Gregory's book was a great read, he was a right character and the way he fought the illness and tried to get back to coaching was inspirational.
Maybe Tony Smith should read the boys the chapter about how he says he was treated by Dave Whealan to motivate them before the match on Saturday.
