How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Wasn't he the grandson of Arnold Crapper and that Lady Crapper who lived on Wilkinson St and subsequently vacated her seat in the House of Lords all those years ago ? |

| Quote: Nozzy "I'd agree with that LG. Littler and Gardner are playing awesome at the minute. Until Ridyard hit the straps in the last half an hour and stole the show, Gardner was my MOM by a mile. Seemed to break at least the 1st tackle every time he took the ball up and did really well for Pownalls try too. And Littlers move of flying inside to the left as we move the ball quickly right is working a treat this season. He looks like he is going to score every time it happens, and he often does like last night!'"
Agreed, Gardners best game for us, he was awesome.

When did Dessie return to us in a playing capacity?
Not to include Tommy Martyn snr into your team would be criminal, he was pure class.

[quote="Wembley71":suio7kr3].....They are our people. Drummond, Costello, Manfredi, Svabic, Martyn, Street, Tickle, Patel, Mossop, Horo, Bristow, Leuleui, Varley, Fleary, Rivett, Tabern, Doran, Woods, Donlan, Wilshire, Leaefa, Hansen, Sale, Murphy… these are all my people.
As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg |

Coach and Basil as his assistant!!'"
As Bart suggests, Tommy Snr. - so he slots in at Loose. As he also says, don't remember Dessie having two separate spells with us, so I've gone for Mado and Rob Smyth on the wings - which leaves you a couple of Centres still to find.
And as Murph only played for us in his first spell with the club, it'd be pushing it to play him in the team, so think you'll have to make him coach (and Basil his No.2)......so I've put Duffy in at Scrum Half!! 
Do any of our older members know - did "Sir" Tommy come back as a player, after his brief sojourn with Widnes? If so he could take over at 2, and move Mado to one of the Centre berths!! |

Rob played 04,05 and then 07. Don't know if he actually played for anyone inbetween though.
