Think we would all like to see that. Give me an Aussi over a northern mummy's boy any day.

Sadly. We've had some great players over the years. A real pleasure to watch.

Miski is a good one. (Wigan bound)

Yep. Next year I think

But expect we’ll pick up another 1or 2
Been pretty good recently too.
Harrison /Yates We seem to be able to find good ones in recent years
Though that not always the case …. Israel ??
And don’t forget Frank Napoli. Oh god. Awful

You have to have the exception to prove the rule! But yes Frank was awfully bad.

The days under Barbara & Roy Close were always fun as you never knew who would roll into town that week & start a game.

'"

I understand Sam Davis is out for the season with an ACL injury.

Could do with some reinforcements

Sid
Olsi both out for a while??

What about Egodo, Walter's, Fozard and Aston??
And the chap we were supposed to be signing, the prop from france (not Moran)

WQ finishing with 12 on the pitch does not necessarily mean 5 injuries.
It just means that no interchanges were left to put a replacement on for injury at the end of the game.
Use all 10 before the final hooter then any injury is going to result in numbers on field dropping so could have ben just one injury not the 5

we,ve 9 out at moment though hopefully couple maybe back next week...kids are doing it tough at moment ...its not great ,scraping wins against bottom clubs...but they are wins...going to struggle over next couple of weeks

timu and carroll I remember very well ….and you are spot on

they certainly were fun!

Remember Timu and Caroll well and again agree. There was another player who came over but I cant remember his name. Someone on here will help me. He had his first run out at Batley when we played a CC round and I thought our team kit reminded me of the Kellogs cockerels. It was rotten weather and at the end of the game you seriously couldn't tell which team was which. He had come back from an horrific facial injury and jumped into the crowd at one game and threatened to lay a couple of supporters out for shouting how bad he was and upset his family who were sitting in front of them. Think his name was Richie or something like that. Was supposed to be great but I think his best days were pre his injury.

Richie Barnett. He was fantastic in his first season for us in 2001 at The Valley (which was post his facial injury) but then was out for a while in 2002 (perhaps the start of his Chronic Fatique Syndrome but not sure we knew that at the time). I remember he came back as a sub at Griifin Park to play for us against Hull FC (who he had already signed with for the next season). It was a close game (we won 10-6) and at one point he dropped the ball near our own line. Not sure if it led to their try but comments from the crowd on his efforts upset his wife who was sitting nearby.

The club under Branson opened up the chequebook and signed three antipodeans. Dalton ( Jason Hetherington.).Richie Barnett and Jimmy Dymock. How nice it would be to be signing players like them these days.

Sadly I doubt any major player would come to us.
