....and plenty of times, at the back end of his Wire career (85ish) he played prop.

I wish we had more lazy Hall of Fame second rowers like Bob Eccles who could score 37 tries in a season (1982/83) and 5 in a match (1982)

I was there. Can't remember if it was this game but one try sticks out where Robbie Muller did all the work and was clear to race under the sticks...Bob was shadowing him and called to Robbie. Robbie passed him the ball to score under the sticks.
A RL version of a F1 leader allowing the persuing team mate to pass as to strengthen his title challenge.

12/12/1982. 36-15 vs Blackpool. IMSMC he also kicked goals during that game.
I think Bob benefited that season from that play we did at acting halfback where he could crash over from close range. I think they changed the rules following that.
Decent return for a 2nd rower.

| I used to like Bob Eccles but it really did depend on what mood he was in, and how much ale he’d had the night before.
His pack mates were amazed how Bob could sprint The length of the field in the last minute to score, when they couldn’t put one foot in front of the other.

| Yes Bob had some stride on him.
I'm sure they were trying to get a 6th try to him vs Blackpool but time was against the clock. Equaled Brian Bevan's club record of 5.

So, Super that's not the answer then? Steve did play in most pack positions and he was an England .international.

Dave Heighton
He covered a few pack positions at Salford. He did alright there too and a good radio pundit.
