Talking to my mate the other day about the programme gladiators and was reminded of a competitor being signed by a rugby league outfit. Neither of us could remember who he signed for or what his name was. Can anyone remind me what exactly went on?

Wasn't it some American bloke called Wesley '2 scoops' something or other? Think he signed for Hunslet in the mid-late 90s IIRC.

or was it Cougars during Cougarmania?

Don't remember that, but do remember Hunslet giving one of the guys from 5ive a trial.

I remember Anthony Farrell flattening all the Gladiators on 'Gauntlet', leaving them on the floor and looking rather peeved. He just stood at the end in victory, grinning at them.

I'm pretty sure it was him anyway. Would love to see the footage again.

I remember Ellery Hanley knocking the roid-boys about too.

It was his brother Andrew. He played wing for Hunslet/Batley/Dewsbury or summert. He was a big'un for a winger though.

Neil Parsley came 2nd in the UK Gladiators and was signed by Lancashire Lynx. Warrington signed him in the season in the season we also signed Langer, Nikau and Gee. He wasn't great.

I lived up there around that time and some sage I know said he all the right ingredients but just needed a bit more thyme and he'd have spiced things up for the Lynx.

I heard the Lynx fans were bay-ing for his blood. They werer singing 'we can't wait til this terras-gon'

Sorry.

If that lad could pass a P!ss test then i'm the pope.

Played in 1 senior match, an RL Cup match at Hunslet in 2000. He was awful. Scored 1 try and was never heard of again.

Were they cumin from all over to see him?

Dave Walter was UK gladiator champion twice, and went on to win the World Championship against the US champ. He's now in his late 30s and plays league for Exeter Centurions in the SW Conference.

Martin Offiah was on a celeb edition once

Wesley "Two Scoops" was signed by Cougars during Cougarmania, he played a couple of reserve games but couldn't get a work permit and returned back to the US.

HAMMER!!!!!!!

Where I believe he is in jail for armed robbery.

International Gladiators champion Wesley "2 Scoops" Berry had a trial reserve game for Keighley at the height of Cougarmania against Huddersfield.

Over 3000 turned out at Cougar Park to see him, he wasn't very good though and IIRC he got clobbered by Dean Hanger.

why Keighley signed him, could have made a great winger or FB www.culturebully.com/the-america ... oops-berry

You're actually serious.

Parsley was a first team regular at Lancashire Lynx before going on Gladiators, I remember him playing at full back against Leigh not long after it was screened.
