Quote: fartown since 1961 "i thought vella, the young lad on debut and webster all played well, there were times in the game for the first hour when if you had scored next the game could have changed... The young full back sherriff was exposed against Brough the best spiral bomb kicker in the league he looks capable of being a good player to me.... we had a couple of players raleigh, horne etc who had big points to prove to NB and played above themselves... it was a very good game of RL far better than the Hull v wigan match.... if you tighten your defence you have the flair to beat most teams... question of whether your coach like ours knows his best 17 and gets the chance to play them....'"
Almost forgot at times that Cox was on a debut, didn't look out of place at all.
The commentators summed it up when they suggested Brough could have played in a dinner suit and just kicked his bombs when needed, probably true.
