You think correctly.

Don't think anyone has mentioned Chris McKenna for the GF winners or Lee Jackson?

The apiarist (AKA bee keeper) - is also an answer (or part of one) to another question.

Oh yes and Alan Tait for Scotland (Capt in '95 emerging nations tournament).

Did I see Phil Ford playing for Wales at one point on ESPN classic once? Strong possibility that could be a dream.

Nah, you'd be right there mate. He defenitely played for Wales on a few occasions

Was there not a Scottish centre in the Roy Francis era?

And a ginger heaired prop from the mid 90s called Mcdonald? Not sure he ever troubled first grade though.

Ronnie Cowan and around the same time there was Drew Broatch who stayed on and coached the 'A' team in the seventies.



Ryan McDonald (?) and he didn't trouble the first grade before dropping down a division and fairing well at places like Widnes.

Thats the fella.

And did Ryan MacDonald play for Batley too?

I don't think McKenna won the GF in Aus, because when we won it, there was loads of stuff about Bai being only one of a few people to have won both the english and aus GF

I did on page 1

Damn you Soprano, with your efficient answering of questions.

Damn you to hell.

Would you consider making this a regular Monday post - PA's Quiz.

I'll consider it.

Though I doubt I've enough quirky material to do more than one more - beyond that it gets into geeky statto mode with answers sourced easilly from the net and/or TVOC's scrapbooks.

Don't let that stop you, my scrapbooks are a long way from being accessible by anyone who posts on here and I'm far from guaranteed to know the answers anyway.

I think PA may have been looking for an assistant to come up with some obscure questions that he could take the credit for.

You think right.

One Grand Final appearance with the Cronulla Sharks in the sole Super League Grand Final down under in 1997, where they lost to the Brisbane Broncos.

Did Harvey Howard really win a GF with the Broncos?

I believe so. '99 ish or early noughties era IIRC.

Just shows you don't need to be a world beater doesn't it.

2000 Grand Final. His career then took a downward turn by signing for Wigan.

Aaah.

Thought it was around that date.
