Yeah, great player, and also had the requisite moustache. I'd have liked to have fitted Wayne Parker in, loved him as a kid. If we had unlimited interchanges in an NFL style, we could have him on the bench for last minute drop goals.

Oh and Gareth Morton of course

Not Bernard then?



I was always a big fan of Andy Thompson back in the early 90s too, very under-rated player in my opinion.

It was Greg Austin who got released for James Goulding



Watson played everywhere in the backs but mostly stand-off for us

No votes for Choppy Close yet?...& you've gotta leave a place on the bench for the worlds greatest substitute Jimmy Irvine

You did see the part where I said 'If I remember right' didn't you?
Try reading my posts in future as I never said I was certain of it.

Is this the part where I go

?

loved all the players been mentioned seen every one one player not mentioned ian robinson great utility player in the backs he had to chuck it when he had a kidney problem i think

The eye roll was because we traded Austin for Goulding, wasn't aimed at you

Then i'm sorry but you can see how it looked.
But yeah that still blows my mind that we binned off one of if not the best centre we ever had for that pudding.

No worries. Should check what I'm typing



Shocking decision that was. Cut off the supply to Sullivan as well. Austin - Sully partnership had netted about 80 tries in 20 games when we let him go!

Yeah i'm clearly getting Austin and Watson mixed up.

andy thompson couldnt break a tackle but could tackle anything would love to see his tackle stats if he played today one of the best props apart from the god which is mark broadhurst was peter johnston and in the same season the aussie we were rumoured to have signed by mistake lindsey johnson

Zook Ema was always a favourite of mine.

i was implying lindsey johnson was terrible by the way and i remember everybody been a bit peed off that we let austin go in favour of goulding who went himself for the line against warrington and everybody in the east stand groaned but he somehow managed to score and win the game for us .We should have a thread on the terrible players weve had to watch aswell

zook ema fell into every single tackle throughout his career

My Mum liked him though, great name and often sported a moustache.

maybe with your moustache obsession you could do a rovers moustached 17 shouldnt be to difficult but your only allowed 5 from the eighties or it would be to easy

I'll have to have a think, tough with an eighties quota!

This is where we went wrong, once the 'taches went we were like Sampson after his trip to Delilah's hair salon.

seen as its a rovers moustached 17 i will give you special dispentation and up your eighties quota to 8 but you cant use any players who have done it for a laugh like vella for his super league photo

Zook had the longest stride I've ever seen, length of the field in about 20 paces

We should do a WORST 13 aswell

Gary Atkins at 6 and David Lightfoot at prop.

anthony chambers, in worst 13

James Goulding, Desi Williams, David Hoskins ans Stu Farr have to be in the WORST 13 for me. Oh yeah and Steve Smith and Steve Hadi.....

With all due respect, Byron Ford over Anthony Sullivan?

I liked Ford, I know we have had some decent wingers oner the years (I go back to Chris Young, big Sully and Graham Paul), but I think all teams need flamboyance and Ford is my 'indulgence', you put Sully in yours and I'll keep Ford in mine.
