He was no Daryl Powell, that's for sure.

What's even more unbelievable is that Hanley wanted to swap him for Graham Holroyd! The season he played for hanley, he got SL players' player of the year.

I thought it was a thread about players who couldn't tackle and frequently let their country down...

Didn't he also sign Tricky Trindall to replace him?

Another rumour was that he wanted rid of cunningham and was going to replace him with a guy called Richard Pachniuk from Batley.

I wonder how true that one is. There were several disputes at the club in the mid to late 1990s, all of which seemed to involve Eric Hughes. Because he was softly spoken, the other party always tended to get the blame. It was Eric who leaked this story in order to justify the suspension of Hanley IIRC. Hanley was a bit bonkers when it came to tactics, but surely even he couldn't have been this daft (he did deny it as well)?

He definitely didn't take to Tommy for some reason though.

I got the impression Hanley was power mad, though. So it may well have been his plan to get rid of some big guns to show the squad that no-one was guarenteed a place at saints.
