Frankly its nice just not to be called thick



As I say its just opinion - in my own mind I am a legend but its not an opinion that seems to have spread

Once again you stumble over your own lack of intelligence

You are trying to ram your thoughts on what a legend is or isn't down all of our throats

I have merely stated that Wally Lewis is former Wakefield player who is the biggest legend of all time which doesn't go along with your 'what is a legend theory'

I assume by your lack of answering me you are sticking to your guns and you think Wally Lewis doesn't fall in to what you deem to be a RL legend?

Lmao

Who are you Frank Machin? This is a forum, you do know what that is don't you?

Much as I'm loathed to indulge a dullard such as yourself, when did I say Lewis wasn't a RL legend? He fits all the criteria especially to be one having won a test series.

I have to say it takes a monumental lack of intelligence to accuse someone of being thick only to prove in your next post just how thick you actually are, well done and thanks for doing my job for me

Legend - famous, renowned, notorious


You have your views to which you're entitled as are all of us, unfortunately you present your views as facts without providing any supporting evidence to back up the view Your last concluding sentence is presented as a proven fact and its your opinion, unless you can argue the case and provide supporting evidence.

Your opening sentence states professional sport is not played for fun on what do you base that claim or are you assumming that when its 'paid work' it can't be fun. How many sporting professionals have you interviewed before coming to your conclusions
.

Legend Famous Neil Fox for obvious reasons

Legend Renowned Ian Fortis tubbiest winger I ever saw (Doncaster RL at Tattersfield)

Legend Notorious Zak Hardaker for his off field antics

We all have our legends and some are legends to many but it is not based on a clear cut definition, they just are because people believe they are.

Should you wish to respond in your usual aggressive and name calling manner try and be a little more imaginitive with the name calling.

Vastman appears to show all the signs of an insecure individual, his need to lash out, name call and be abusive when challenged rather than provide a reasoned response, classic behaviour for those that are familiar with Eric Bernes work

This faux intellectual stuff is tiresome. Seriously you need to grow up.

Definition of legendary " Remarkable enough to be famous, very well known. Synonyms ~ Famous, Famed, Renowned, Acclaimed, Illustrious, Esteemed,Honoured, Exhalted, Lauded, Lionized, Distinguished,Great, Outstanding.
i think you could apply one or two or even more of these words to all the players mentioned so far on this column.

Dictionary Legend: an extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field.
"the man was a living legend"
synonyms: celebrity, star, superstar, icon, famous person, great, genius, phenomenon, luminary, giant, big name

In it's purest sense I would think (IMHO) that those who gained this accolade via Wakefield Trinity during my time watching them are Neil Fox, Rocky Turner and Dave Topliss. I am also aware of Johnty Parkin. Ray Price and Wally Lewis gained the tick elsewhere.
I'm sure all of these are held in very high esteem by many other general Rugby League fans just like we know Clive Sullivan and Billy Boston were/are Legends.

Jason Demetriou possibly "heroic" status with Fifita heading that way.

Johny T a loyal servant.

It's subjective but yours seems a fair enough explanation.

Funny thing is I doubt many RL players especially the likes of JT would consider themselves legends for one second, there modesty is far to legendary for that.

Not an answer from you though VASTMAN, still defensive abuse albeit tame this time around, if Eric was still around I'm sure he would have been keen to have a chat with you.

We are only discussing definitions here so no need for the acrimony.
And as a reminder, this thread is about Fifita. I was OK that it stretched to other props who he compared to but we can leave it at that.

I'll clean this thread up later. No more arguing over the definition of a legend please. By all means start a new thread.
And any more name calling will result in a temporary ban just like on the VT.

I must admit I recall Skerrett and Balantyne as 2nd rowers when they were in their pomp in a Trinity shirt. ????? Props of today expected to show those skills.

No worries PT and a fair call

If you could ask vastman to stop messaging me though I'd be grateful

The guy is obsessed with me

Just watched big dave on rugby am talking about growing up and playing the game and how he ended up playing for a club he hadn’t heard of ,but loves the place now .
A Down to earth guy who comes across as humble, but also a great sense of humour , and a sense of loyalty to the club.
.

I also caught up with rugby am last night and agree with all that

Dave also says he loves the fans and loves his song
Also that he's bought a house over here and that he and his kids are really settled in wakefield

FFS! Somebody let go.

There you go

I can't believe I'm having to do this but if you want to be treated like kids then so be it.
If you continue the personal jibes I'll just give you a rest.
The thread is about Fifita. Post about Fifita or don't post.

What are you on about, I just agreed with Wollo and removed my retort, so why pick on my post - you totally confuse me at times, in fact all the time tbh

It's like a school playground on here sometimes. Can't believe how childish some posters are.

It was to everybody.
Your quote wasn't intended to single you out. Apologies.
