Absolutely hated Phil Lowe as a kid , He just trampled over anyone stood in his way in the derbies . Big with a good turn of speed , He would have been a star in the modern game also . Condolences to friends & family .

Whoops!

Remember him as landlord of Quayside , when I worked at Waterfront. He'd always come across for a pint and a chat , when it wasn't busy and was a very knowledgeable guy on all things RL. A great player, held in the highest esteem by the Australians and probably not rated highly enough by the RL world, especially for his try scoring record. A legend of Hull, particularly the East side, and rightly so. RIP Big Phil Lowe.

The tribute to Phil Lowe before today's game was quite moving and the crowd were spellbound , all joined in for the minutes applause.

Rivalries put aside .

I'm always a touch wary in those situations, that some clowns will be disrespectful but, like you say, everyone was well behaved (apart from a few boos for Hudgell!!). Thought the tribute was very well done, a great send-off for a great RL player and son of the city, irrespective of which shirt he wore during his career.
