I concur that Loughlin was a better provider, but when you were as good as Newlove, you scored yourself, not just putting your winger away. Just look at how good Jonathan Scales looked playing outside Lockers, then i 98 When He'd gone, Scales looked very average!

Both were different in style but very good quality players. however, if I was to pick the best british left centre from the 20 years i've been watching the game, it would be Newlove by a mile.

how did he waste his talents?

Think tigz is referring to Newlove's less than enthusiastic showings internationally and his reputed dislike of training.

You thunk correct.

Begs the question...

1: Did Newlove honestly think Bradford should have gone into Super League with Peter Fox rather than Brian Smith.
2: How good would he have been had he stayed, given the improvement that the likes of Brian Mac, Robbie etc showed.
