There was a Kiwi winger in the 70's I think his name was Michael Corkery

came across played in a home game (against Oldham I think) he bombed one try in the first 2 minutes.... scored a try on about 10 minutes... chased a kick into the in goal on about 15 when he ran into the railings and injured his shouolder... he never played again!!

the other guy who's name I cant remember is the aussie guy who played in the centre away at Runcorn in the 80's scored 2 tries and never played again...


the most famous aussie who people forget that he played with us at Trinity is Geoff Gerard... he went on to play for the Kangaroos as part of very long career.

a few others I remember

Paul O'Brien
Lyndsey Gill
Lou Lardi
Don Swanston
Glenn Worne
Robert Piva
Steve Watene

Ben Rauter had gone before the McNally era

Mustn't forget
Troy Slattery - must have been most peoples favourite player the 2 years he was here
Also, came the same year Damon Keating but my biggest memory of him is getting smashed in the face at Sheadingley.

Glen Stanton signed with Russell Klein captained Aus schoolboys

Suprised no one has mentioned Peter Benson and that infamous Challenge Cup again Bradford!

That was the year when Rowan Brennan also played. 1986/87 when we hadn't won a game until March when we thrashed Widnes.

Steve Halliwell joined us the year after. He'd scored 49 tries with Leigh in 1985/86 inside Phil Fox who'd got close to 30. I ran onto the pitch after a game for autographs and to get sock ties from the players and he gave me some selotape!
