Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?:

I loved Bright Sodje! .....He was strong, powerful and fast! .....If he were in the game today I would have him on my wing above Sio and many of the modern day wingers (excluding Chariots obviously)! .....That said, we haven't had a decent and proper winger for years, so I'm chuffed to bits that we now have Sio on our wing!

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. Frederick Douglas:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30596.jpg



Quote: hull smallears "Those were the days of Greg Austin, Watson (?) Botica, and Bishop IIRC. Good side you had around that time'"


Dave Watson, loved that guy, didn't do me a right lot of good for reasons that shall never be told.

We should have been a good side, but there was so much in fighting going on we managed to be average with Austin scoring around forty odd tries. Bishop was entertaining but nobody would even dream of giving him a contract today.

On The Wrong Side Of The Chocolate River from around those days, turns out my sisters father in law is a bit of a friend of Paul Prendeville.

The best thing that Bishop did was blatantly punch Shaun Edwards from a scrum during that Challenge Cup mudbath at Craven Park that ended up 6-4 to Wigan! .....Ha!

The thing about Kenneth Sio is that he has scored tries in all kinds of ways from all distances (except for a near length of the field if I am not mistaken). That is special. He is clearly one of the top five wingers in Super League.

Ken Sio is a good acquisition for us and he is certainly an upgrade on the last couple of years. Over a longer run will likely be considered our best of the last 20 years, but bearing in mind we have been in the lower leagues for a majority of the last 20 years the competition isn't tricky - If it was expanded to 40 years, he wouldn't be the first name on everyone's list.

My favourite was Plange - Although this was against poorer opposition at the end of his career he was great entertainment. I think he may go down as the most angriest/aggressive winger that I can recall, which is why I have a soft spot for him.

In terms of talent it would likely be Ford and Fox that he is competing with as Sodje left in 94 (I think) and most of the others named were before 1995.

To be fair Peter Fox was brilliant in his first year or 2 with us, dream team and a england call up. It was the last year when he completely imploded and never got it back. Shame really but god was the guy thick.

I've been fortunate to see some good wingers at Rovers over the years including the above mentioned but one winger i remember who wasn't particularly brilliant but still entertaining was called Wally youngman who played on the left wing if i remember correctly.
He had a strange way of carrying the ball when running, he used to run with an almost an outstretched ball in one hand when running out of defence or attacking the line and would have been a modern day coaches nightmare, he'd be forever having the ball stripped in today's modern game.
I don't ever remember seeing him go the length of the field for a try but he was none the less a very good finisher 30/40 yards out and scored a good number of trys for the club as i remember.
If i also remember correctly he was a full time police officer during the day.

Remember Wally, missed a tackle on D Smith for Leeds in Yorkshire Cup Final at Fartown right in front of where I was stood which we lost 8-7, the Kevin Dick era. Don't think he played for us again!

Got Wally Youngmans Carlisle shirt at Roy Holdstocks testimonial many years ago. As Mick Morgan gave me it he said"take care of it as they wont be around much longer"He was right. Still have it up in the loft.

While not regarded as a out and out winger I thought Daniel Fitzhenry did a good solid job for us

Wally used to run like pigeon. Really strange to watch

"The Mail understands..." NOTHING! :SUBMISSION: :lol: [quote="-VIKINGMAN-"]Respect to Roofs, the president of East Hull. :wink:[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_17371.jpg



Favourite winger of the 00's - Byron Ford
Favourite winger of the 90's - Richard Smith

Re comment about David Plange (looking great against admittedly poor opposition), I was a big fan of his back then too, as well as others like Paul Eastwood and Gary Brown.
I also thought Jon Adams was excellent for the time. Not lightning pace, but knew when to come back inside. Drives me insane to see a winger get nailed into touch on the second tackle when he just had to cut back in.

Peter Fox was the very definition of a confidence player! ......I suppose what happened between Peter, his "better half" and Morgan effected his performance on the pitch ......Allegedly!
