Agree, again it’s normal for fans of any sport to see the best there is strutting their stuff and some have had the luxury including myself due to my age  the youth of today are fortunate that in the future the quality of recordings will be better than what they are now, by the way George Best was my hero growing up and had the pleasure of watching  |

Do I not hold the right to post my opinion on a rugby forum if I didn’t see the guy play for Wakefield?'"
You can I guess but I'm not sure why you would when we are talking about Lewis's time at Wakefield. |

Yes think your right about that being Oldham , re Halifax I never really got over Halifax beating us in challenge cup at thrum hall. Was left traumatised by it and still have nightmares. |

Sorry I only guessed 18 because of your fixation with the number, trinity18, thick rick18, R hick18, plus you just happened to have had 18 bouts as a boxer, can you see the confusion here, oh and fwiw I've never been to Widnes. |

| Quote: PopTart "Ah ok. I was right. You don't get it.
You could have just asked us why we are bothered. I thought you wanted to praise someone else instead or felt some principle about someone spending money on him. In fact it seems you are just arguing for the sake of it. Disappointed now.
I don't know why people are bothered about Babe Ruth as I never saw him play and haven't really even seen him on video but people hold him in high regard so they must have a good reason. I'm unlikely to go on a Dodgers forum and challenge their opinion as I have no basis to challenge them.
It seems you didn't see him play for Wakefield. Don't know the players he played with or against, don't know the history of the team at that time, yet feel you can challenge the opinions of those that do.
We are very different people.'"
He played for the Yankees predominately mate, Dodgers back then were the other New York team, unless I misunderstood. |

It was their New Zealand fullback Wright (Think Owen Wright).
Proper WWE stiff arm. |

You are correct. I knew I should have checked that. I could remember seeing his name on shirts when I went in the team shops in New York but couldn't remember which one it was.
Kinda proves the point. I don't know the details well enough to comment. |

Another hypocritical comment, whether I know the details more than anyone else on here or not my opinion is my opinion so as per your own words I shouldn't be challenged on them |

Brooklyn Dodgers {So called because the people of Brooklyn were quite adept at dodging in and out of the street cars (trams).at that time}, and the franchise was then transferred over to Los Angeles. |
