Up there with fishing trawlers. The fact is if it looks like poo and smells like poo it probably is poo

I think it was in the first sentence of the thread where you said:
"Its been a while since we actually had a decent aussie."

That did suggest you didn't rate Vaughan either.

Exactly, Captain Hook was straight back with Vaughan, not me.
Then it was MD who made it an open 2 Aussie topic “sorry…I meant 2 good Aussies

”
As MD once again turns the topic into a RD bashing and gets plenty likes for posting it.
Just looks for a RD post and unleashes

Great point RD and to be fair, MD accepted he had forgotten about PV.
On the other hand you are the only one that seems to have an issue with our Vaughany!

I have absolutely no dish on his play.
He is one of the best props at Wire since Morley.

My gripe is tongue in cheek and a bit fed up in a mixing bowl.
He has this uncanny luck of playing against poor teams that I would argue help to enhance his stats, and then for getting lengthy bans during school holidays, where the big fixtures are mostly scheduled.

Yes it is all down to unfortunate, but I wish I was as unfortunate at the bookies and lottery.

MONSTER

We were a bit flat today. He sensed that and gee'd us up at key times, came up with a good try and a good shot at the time we needed it. True leadership

Yes, best player on our side by a mile but was also playing the captaincy role in the second half: setting the standard and clearly leading the talk on the field. Fantastic display.

Don’t feed the animals

James Harrison isn't doing a bad job either. We have a pretty good pack this season.

Very glad we beat Leeds to his signature. Very consistent, good in defence, aggressive and a very big attacking threat, something we’ve missed in the back row since Currie’s peak years.

Still don’t know how we did it.
All the media talk was a done deal to Leeds.
I wonder how late we left it to get him signed.
Did Sam have snipe him in Aus?

He also came across very well in post match interview.

Easily our best NRL recruit in along time.

Since Vaughan or better than Vaughan?

Different from Vaughan. Both good. Musgrove is OK and improving steadily. Not much doubt in our best ever Aussie recruit though.

Doubt if most posters on this forum ever saw him play though.

Agreed. I doubt that anyone will ever come close to matching the legendary Roy Asotasi.

Yep I remember standing on the 25 yard line with my Dad ... and he'd say "Give it to Roy"

You spelt Bev incorrectly, Smiffy.

Yes I remember them well ... Fraser, Asotasi, Challinor, Naughton or Pickavance, O'Grady, Greenough & Edwards etc.

I guess we have Daryl Powell to thank for a number of signings.

Vaughan
Harrison
Crowther
Bullock

Some not so good though

Gil Dudson,
Josh McGuire,
Greg Minikin,
Peter Mata'utia,
Oliver Holmes
Billy Magoulias

How about the monster that was Craig Teitzel?

Just shows how things have changed BSkyB showed a game per week & no internet to speak of & living 170 miles away ... I can't remember him. But he must have been special if you are recommending him.

You really didn`t miss anything with Craig Teitzell he was only slightly better than Asotasi, in that he could play more than 10 minutes either side of half time which was all Asostasi could manage.
