Pretty sure Coady was signed originally for Tykes from Doncaster RU, but then switched to Rhinos where GH trumpeted him as a potential successor to Keef.

That one didn't quite work out...

Yeah It was from Donny RL, had a spell at FEv and back at Donny on loan from you then he left. Thats probably where he picked union up, only mentioned Otley as I knew he was playing there recently as my mate is a teacher at school he was working at

Quote ="gulfcoast_highwayman"Just coming to mention Matt Shaw. He played in the famous 0-19 win at Wigan. This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oFo-ZXkSvw'" Another great shout, if my memory is correct it was a Sunday night match and we had a horrendous drive over the Pennines to get there. I remember us all thinking it wouldn't be worth the effort.....

Mick Worrall, not sure how we came to sign him but Dougie played him once and he was never seen again. To be fair he had a decent career with Oldham and won a few GB caps.

Hooker called Hetherington ring any bells? Played the odd game in the early 80s IIIRC

wonder what became of him?

...

Nathan McAvoy. Tony Smith in his experimental phase.

Maurice Lucas, Des Armitage, Sean Miller and Russ Sowden are a few from 80s who only played a few games at most.

Mike Ratu.

Lorenzo Marquez Laynez.

Best. Name. Ever. Not sure if he ever actually made a first team appearance tho.

oh I remember him featured in a Leeds magazine back then. A young hooker from Hull area , never got near the first team. A few people of that surname originate from Hull. Sean Miller looked about 8 stone dripping wet and Russ Sowden I think was from Bramley and a bit tubby. Anyone remember Jeff Townend a goal kicking prop from Fev, not too bad a player

Neil Lean, ginger prop if the name matches the face I'm thinking of. Also beardy 70s hooker Ian Payne. He may have featured more before I started watching games though I only saw him a couple of times (though, bizarrely, managed to get his autograph 6 times)

Neil James. Looked like a monster of a forward, never lived up to it and was quickly shipped out

Sadly passed away a few years back. CC winner with fax iirc

How about Danny Williams? Played 15 times for us in the 2006 season, and scored a a hat trick in this cup game against Harlequins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjrbccLuPrg&t=6130s

Steve? Dickens played only a couple I believe. Only reason I remember him is that we had Dick, Dickens and Dickinson on the same team sheet.

Anyone remember Peter Mosscat,a hooked from Aus.

Outstanding player was Loz but never quite had the attitude to match his ability. Spat his dummy out when Terry Newton was fast tracked into the first team ahead of him despite being a loose forward at the time.

Scaffolder back in Hull now.

Neil james was a good friend of my cousin, my cousin went to Australia when he was 7 the family came back for a couple of years when he was 17-18 was at Wakefield colts with Neil james and Gary Price, they really really wanted to sign my cousin but he hated the weather they all moved back to Australia where he joined the army.
But they always looke neil James up when they came back to visit.

Vass the best junior prospect of all time according to doug laughton, (untill kevin Sinfield) never quite lived up to it. He was a good champion standard player.

Richard Gunn. read same as for Marcus Vass. really

My memory may be failing me, but did we have a big Aussie (Threequarter, I think) called Bob Landers who just played a few games?
