Remember Jonah catching Offiah at Belle Vue when Offiah had ten yards start on him, was strong as an ox in defense but never seemed to take them on in attack even though he had pace to burn, came inside every time he got the ball. Bet he was one of the first names on the team sheet as he very rarely made a mistake.

I remember his attack being quite srong, just never a prolific try scorer. It could be said though that during those years the wingers never saw much ball.
I also fondly remember a front row once of Johny Thompson, Nigel Bell and Hugh Waddell! I think the combined age was over 100!

Yes I am sure he did, but I can't remember who it was against! 
One forward who I had hoped to see picked in someone's team was one of my boyhood heroes - David Jeanes, a great prop forward.

I think him and Paul Round came together.'" David jones think toppo signed him after a barla tour came from wigan st pats remember his 1st try being in the challenge cup at carlisle, at the end he was on adrian shelfords shoulders outside the changing rooms with wakey fans chanting jonesy for britain. Fond memories.  |

Regarding 2nd rowers, does anyone remember Peter Harrison who we bought from Feath for about £1500, what a revelation he was. He carried the ball in 2 hands and when the opposition came to tackle him upstairs he'd push them off with the ball. Sadly his career ended one Good Friday when he was defending the Doncaster Road end (versus Cas I think) and I can still hear the 'crack' as his leg broke, the leg was amputated.

ran my local in mirfield for many a year,sadly passed away now..was a great bloke to talk to |

From what I remember after he left Wigan for Trinity , Ashurst had some bad injuries and did not play that much. His better days being before his transfer IMO.
Lampowski was a good player though.

Poor Trevor,he cacked himself everytime under the high ball.
He would have made a good scapegoat and enemy number one in the modern era.
