I'd give him a shirt right now. Bet he could still do a job.

Makes you wonder who'd be the equivalent signing today, assuming there even is one.

Can't think of a modern player who jumps out at you quite as much as Wally did though I accept it's a very different game these days.

Nobody anywhere near him Vasty and likely never will be. He is to RL what Ali was to boxing.

Well from the current crop you'd have to say Thurston...

Him and Andrew Johns about on a par for me but, all personal opinion. There's no right or wrong. I have seen some amazing stuff from both

I think the difference for modern day players is we know all about them.
In the 80s you saw them live or an occasional Macron video after the fact.

Seen every SoO and saw all the touring games including 83 Queens land side

I like lots of other players but he'll always be top for me.

Along with Ray Price best overseas player ever seen. Remember getting Wally's autograph for my 10 year old son. At Whitehaven, I think it was. He signed it over a photo of himself on the front of Open Rugby magazine. Great player!!!!!!

Back up for Miller and Finn.

2 year deal is what I had heard icon_biggrin.gif

Seriously though I was only young when he was here, but on footage, looked a great player.

http://flightsandfrustration.com/ It is "Fifita" not "Fafita" If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed. Sharing First World problems so you can get it right first time. Millionaires wanted. Apply here --- Wakefield Trinity:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47943.jpg



Sadly I only started following Trin maybe a couple of years after Wally was here so I never saw him play. If only.

Out of the Trin players I have seen play Ray Price is up there as probably the best I've seen so I'm with you Redscat. Out of them all though Billy Conway was still my all time favourite.

Best I ever saw ! The plus was that we got him at 23/24 years old. Saw all his games for Wakefield apart from the one up at Whitehaven (too bl***y cold to go up there that day). He was a class apart then and became even better as he got older. Not sure I'll ever see his like again at Wakefield Trinity.

LOOKING FOR ACCOMMODATION IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA //www.orlandovilla.org.uk:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_22151.jpg



I met him in what is now Cats Bar when he had just arrived to give him a Club pullover and tie. He was sat down with a pint of lager in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Didn't effect how he played as he was the best stand off I have ever seen and I have seen some good ones in the last 50 years plus.
