yeah youre rite.i always liked him..but i cant help feeling maybe our clubs should show a bit more commitment to our lads

Yes we had him for them 2 seasons before Tony Gordon took over in the summer of 94 and it all went downhil!!



Simmons last game for Penrith was a Grand Final win in 91.

Royce was a real good bloke who did as much as he could for the club. Running the marathons is something that will never be repeated. Des Hasler was one of the most exciting players I've seen in a black & white shirt and if it hadn't been for Simmons as someone else mentioned them couple of seasons would have been real dour.

Was Royce in charge when we played Widnes in a cup game at the Boulevard in terrible weater conditions, rain, sleet & snow from what I can remember. It was said some of the players suffered from Hyperthermia that day!

that's the game where Des Hasler suffered from Hypothermia, could you see todays stars going back to 'winter' rugby?

Exactly. Bust his gut to get Hasler to Hull and he was a cracking player to watch. I'm sure most Hull fans who can remember that era would say the same. Glad to see him in a Head Coaching role again.

I only the club would have kept the like's of Harrison , Jackson and Mackey . We could have kicked on from 91 ,but we'd have been skint though !!.
