Is point 10 correct? In 1954 wire played Halifax in front of 102k so technically it must have been a 100k stadium

there also must have been many many other record signings prior to Offiah. Wasn't Fairbairn sold to HKR for 72.5K, at that time a record?

Wasn’t one of our games shown in 3D a few years back? I don’t think that happened again.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif



The first team to provide a full pack to the Great Britain team.

[quote="Frank Zappa":1sacjrvf]Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.[/quote:1sacjrvf] [quote="The_Enforcer":1sacjrvf]Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.[/quote:1sacjrvf]:



2. I'm sure lots of teams won in Australia before any British teams even went over.

8. Surely by definition, the first ever British signing was a British record signing.

1....your numbering is all messed up!
2. So many teams have won in Australia
3. Pretty sure they'll be more Catalan fans than Wigan.
4. Refer you back to 3.
5. There's only one challenge cup... (well 3)
6.
7.
8. I think you might find Warrington has a claim.
9. What 1st is that supposed to be? Offiah
10. Isn't that 9s?...BTW Warrington are the current holders of the British Coal 9s.
11. 97k Barcelona I think....1954 Warrington v Halifax (Bradford) 102+...nearer 120k+

Officially RLFAN's most Doe-eyed Happy Clapper. Big Steve wrote: The Internet has provided some wonderful creativity, opportunities and knowledge sharing but it has also given a worldwide forum for people you would leave a full pint behind in the pub to avoid having to listen to them. aboveusonlypie... If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg



First RL team to be universally hated because others are so so so jealous of just how wonderful we are..
