If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

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.

I don't see it as a job. It is a passion and love that we all share. Neil Hudgell:30566.jpg |

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.

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, [sizeDavid Laws scored the greatest try ever by a Rovers player at the Boulevard in Oct '83...[/size

Dorahy

Hogan
Miller
A cast of many, many talented players missed but with unlimited interchanges I'd be here all day.....'"
And what a try that was.
If Hull fans think Tom Briscoe's against us was good then that was 20 times better.
Waltzed inside and out of all 3 of Hull's Kiwi Internationals without having a finger laid on him. |

I rated Rich Slater and give him a Rovers scarf after his last game for us.
Was a very good player at the level we were at back then and was one of those players who you never saw come off second best if there was a bit of biff. |

as an fc fan, always thought greg austin was a class finisher for you (among other teams). I'd have him in your team somewhere.

Anthony Sullivan and Greg Austin were a great partnership, and Brian Niebling certainly made impact from the front row. As for the Bish, anyone remember singing " Charlie, Charlie hows your jaw " he took it in good fun though !!
