AN Other will be getting on in years now . I don't recall 'him' playing since the 1960's ?

It is a long time since information about any trialists came out of the club. Some clubs seem to let those without a club or those thinking about joining the sport from union have a bash at a contract. We tend to occasionally allow players to train at the club as non trialists and that gets blown up into something that it is not as when Sammut (???) came back to train with us.
I do wonder though if we (Super League) should have a weeks open trial like they do in The NFL.

I'd like them to do that. There may be players at the top end of the NCL or in union who could get an SL gig. 19 seems way too early to make decisions on some of these lads, particularly forwards.

Not as old as you think as he last played in the 1977/78 season.

From what I remember, he was a full back who scored a try.

Shortly afterwards, George Fairbairn was signed from Kelso RU.

And they say there is no such thing as coincidence

Seeing as George Fairburn signed in 1974 I would say it wasn't a coincidence, More a Miracle!

I remember A N Other on the team sheet a few times in the 80s at Central Park. Think Mark Preston may have done this.

There were quite a few (especially midweek night games), no doubt Welsh RU trialists that didn't want to harm their reputations by trying out League on the hush hush.

Bri Burns (Leigh Miners I think) regularly played for us in the A team in the 80s under th A.N Other pseudonym
