Nothing important. Just wanted to see his name in a title again.

haha this is a blast from the past!

Its ok, we've seen the stalking pictures!

To quote The Judge:

"Paul Newlove is the only man who could sleep with my wife with my permission"

It was great to see his little one two with sully for his try in the tag match.

I used to love watching newlove, he was worth the gate money alone. Power, pace, step and pure class!

The thing with newlove, most teams and players knew what he was going to do when he got the ball yet they still couldn't stop the big man.

Tommy had a shocker in the legends game

But he was hilarious while having it!

My mrs has a thing for tommy so I don't like him



Great to see him out there, he was a hell of a player, can't believe he never player for great Britain.

Scott Naylor could.

He had just signed for Bradford when I first started watching rugby, was my favourite player until we sold him to you, scored some brilliant tries for us in the 93/94 season.

h!, h's stll gt t, t's nvr lft hm

- in need of some vowels there

hahahahahaha my girlfriend is so in love with him that i sometimes wonder if her love for me isn't real. i must admit he is a very good man

That was a tradegy that he never played for GB considering the dross that played at 6 in his era.

He was no Daryl Powell, that's for sure.

What's even more unbelievable is that Hanley wanted to swap him for Graham Holroyd! The season he played for hanley, he got SL players' player of the year.
(If you think that was just rumour mongering, Tommy tells a funny story about it in his afterdinner speech)

I thought it was a thread about players who couldn't tackle and frequently let their country down...

Let their country down ?

You having a laugh!

Didn't he also sign Tricky Trindall to replace him?

yeah he did think he only played about 3 games did he want swap kc to that season

Another rumour was that he wanted rid of cunningham and was going to replace him with a guy called Richard Pachniuk from Batley.

I wonder how true that one is. There were several disputes at the club in the mid to late 1990s, all of which seemed to involve Eric Hughes. Because he was softly spoken, the other party always tended to get the blame. It was Eric who leaked this story in order to justify the suspension of Hanley IIRC. Hanley was a bit bonkers when it came to tactics, but surely even he couldn't have been this daft (he did deny it as well)?

He definitely didn't take to Tommy for some reason though.

I got the impression Hanley was power mad, though. So it may well have been his plan to get rid of some big guns to show the squad that no-one was guarenteed a place at saints.

No, you spell that "F.A.R.R.E.L.L." mate.

That's Kris Radlinski.

Newlove, Farrell and Radlinski couldn't tackle....what game do these dimwits watch....three of the greatest RL players of our time, and all three could tackle especially Farrell

Really good player, I remember his transfer making headlines.

Radlinski was a doormat against Austrailia, IMO he's probably the biggest internation failure I've seen. Newlove was world class when he could be d, and Farrell was alright for GB, he never really lived up to expectations though, but he was solid enough.

Biggest let down for me at test level though was Shaun Edwards.

Whar about Riche Blackmore and Antony Sullivan. Quality players. Whatever happened to Joey Hayes anyone?
