Quote: Redscat "To me, HKR playing Albert Kelly was akin to WT playing an injured Bill Ashurst in the 1979 Final against Widnes. It was a gamble playing an injured player too early, and whilst it was a psychological advantage having someone like that in the side, ultimately it could be to the disadvantage of the player's welfare.'"
Me too, however as with Ashurst, it was a case of if he didn’t play we’d have lost anyway.
We played a team used to the Wembley experience, as did H.K.R – but at least we kept it respectable!
