Yeah, Bishop, good player, probably could have been a lot better but liked the odd sherbert. |

I'd go along with a lot of that but I be tempted (out of the players I've seen play) to put Anthony Sullivan in for Clark, Paul Harkin in For Gordon Smith and stick him on the bench in place of Dave Watson, dropping Chris Burton for Ben Galea and maybe Mick Vella in for Bryan Nebling. |

Vella & Galea didn't play for Rovers in the 80's or 90's....
Clive Sullivan certainly DIDN'T join Rovers for any kind of payday....
Anthony Sullivan played his best rugby at St's and only had one full season of top flight rugby at Craven Park, Clark despite his injuries after 1985 was the scorer of some fantastic tries, two in successive JPS Semi's stand out, David Laws scored the greatest try ever by a Rovers player at the Boulevard in Oct '83...

 =#0000FFI really need to pay more attention to what I'm typing and the subject of a thread, I'll consider myself rightly chastised!
Clive Sullivan certainly DIDN'T join Rovers for any kind of payday....
=#0000FFI knew when I was writing that I was phrasing that badly, I was more interested in whether he really hit the heights that he had for Hull and GB once he'd seen the light and crossed the river.

=#0000FFAgain, I'll consider myself educated and bow to your superior knowledge on A Sullivan versus Clark (I started watching Rovers around 83 and not being from an RL family I never had anyone to educate me on what was happening at the time, I thought we'd be the best team for ever, the last 20 years have come as quite a let down!) and I think I've seen that Laws try on the popular video sharing site that shall not be spoken of and it is indeed a magical try.

| Andy Kelly anyone?
Millington off the bench. What an impact player!
Psycho Lidiatt from the bench also.
Dave Watson wasnt a bad larker. Was he a centre/standoff if I recall. |

Watson was very exciting to watch, I think he also played a bit at full back for us to. |

Yeah, you're right I can remember that.
He left to go and win the Challenge Cup with Sheffield Eagles in their famous 1998 victory over Wigan in a team that included one of my favourite players of the day Waisale Sovatabua. |

Bit of a "rare bird" to put it mildly was "Winker Watson", had a couple of spells at 'Fax and Bratfud Northern before his day in the sun at Wembley if I recall....

| David Bishop was a favorite of mine too, but just too unfit lol. Charlie Macalister will certainly remember him....
also Gavin Miller was top quality and i also liked Greg Austin, a real try scorer but he only played in the lower leagues for us before being released
The worst player i can think of was David Hoskins, the Aussie prop, utter tosh, he made Crossman look good lol |

What was the name of that lad who played full back (no hair) I think he left us after the game we played at Featherstone when Stanley was carried shoulder high round the ground after the game. He'd (Stanley) just signed for Gateshead and although we lost you would never have thought it.

What did you guys think of Richard Slater? Real workhorse and a great player for us before leaving for Fev and the Hull KR. I know Rich and he has fond memories of his time at NCP, he recommended Ben Cockayne to sign up with you when you showed your interest in him.
