Surprisingly good tonight, Paul Cooke.

Don't miss next weeks.

Billy Boston

Paul Cooke?
'SuperLeague Super-men' ??


I'm glad I don't Sky+ it then...

This is one I will not miss.

When I started work at an engineering firm in 1955 I used to talk about Billy so much the older people called me Billy,even though that was,nt my name.
One of the true greats of the game both as a player and a man.

Can't wait for next weeks, they showed a clip and it looked good.

More fool you it was a very interesting programme, and he was very articulate.

Wouldn't give him the time of day. Never mind 3% of my SkyPlanner.

I said to the mrs at least he's got the nuts to say what really went on and off the pitch got more respect for him after that

But wasn't tonight's show a repeat? Almost certain I'd seen it last year. And the clip about Billy B. seemed familiar - the bit where his mother had turned down the original £1500 offer from Wigan, but then snatched their hands off when £3000 was laid out on the kitchen table.

You have read the book or watched the dvd from the RL heritage site?

So how can you judge the programme without having seen it?

The same way he can tell us that he knew all about Wigans 2011 home jersey without seeing it?

I'm judging the man, not the programme.

Crumbs. Obsessed much?
I tried to pass on what I believed to be reliable information about the almost complete contract for kit manufacturer.
I believed it to be correct on the basis as I was told by the very designer of the mock-ups for potential designs. I never mentioned what it'd definately look like.
Anyway, Our current peel-off in the wash brand came in & we are all happy with designs.

Crickey, what must that have been worth then, in today's money?

round about £68k......................lol

on what basis?

On having met him & on knowing a member of his family.

No wonder she snatched it from the kitchen table

Back to superleague supermen, i wasn't sure what to expect last night but thought Paul Cooke came across really well.

Probably one of the more interesting shows and I've got alot more respect for him now and wish him well for the future.

What role does Sam play in the show?

Only watched it before he started (dont think he did the first few weeks?)

He does the bit on the super try. Last nights wasn't that super!
Paul Cooke was really interesting. At least he told it how it really happened and was self-critical. A player who was good for 4-5 years, but with a bit of real application and a bit less sauce he could have been a great player, lovely passer of the ball.

Im only winding you up

Good man. If I wasn't on my phone i'd find a kissing smiley

i thought he was very honest about himself and how he had been a dick, he seems to have gone through some really tough times with family illness and alchohol problems.
i will be intrested to see how he goes with the 7 marathons in 7 days, he never was the fitest.
