Dennis Beecraft played over 40 NRL games and could actually play a bit but by the time he came to us he had clearly had far too many injuries.
Ronnie Troutman was something else, honest to god most pub teams in the Wakefield district had better halfbacks. He shouted a lot but other than that did not have single skill or any obvious physical attributes. That was simply the lowest depth of the anything Aussie is great philosophy IMO. Apparantly though, he's an excellent coach and well thought of in Queensland.

| Always like Tadulala for Wakey, plus Domic and Solomona. Did they all play on the same edge in 2004?

If what he told me at the time was true, I was the first ever person to ask him for his autograph!

| Quote Pat Bateman="Pat Bateman"Ben Cockayne. Think he had the best season of his career when he was with us, made the England team. Duncan MacGillivray, remember his debut against Warrington and he looked dug up he was bandaged up that much, Jesus what a player. Possibly best defensive player I’ve seen at Wakey in my time of watching.'"
Dunc was outstanding I'll agree there, but Cockayne nah.

Disagree on Cockayne, never saw much of him before and was against his signing at the time but I thought he was brilliant for us.

I never saw much of him! Especially out on that wing spot when the opposition were walking tries in.

| Quote Spookisback="Spookisback"The opposite of disappointing players… this is about players who arrived at the club with no fanfare of expectation .. but who surprised you and became a favourite
Three for me:
New Years 1984 saw a young scrum half debut (I think at Leigh)
Nigel Bell
A few years later a young Aussie full back trialled after playing ( I think) at Ackworth
Chris Perry
2004 and an influx of players including a journeyman from Widnes, debuted at full back and looked awful
Jason Demetriou'"
Yes, definitely at Leigh, Spooki. I was there. What a player!!!

| James Stosic - never heard of him before he came to Trin, great bit of business to bring him over. Not very tall, but incredibly wide like Kurt Sorenson and Les Boyd! Pity his visa wasn't stamped the season after....
