Congrats, Guys.

Two players with a LOT of hero points, both on and off the pitch.

I love Apollo. Massive, enormous man crush. What's his story these days? I know he was running the sports academy in Dubai for a while. I've seen him in the background of a few things recently, he seems to be in Sia's back yard a lot. (Not that I'm stalking him of course).

Prekkie whilst a player I liked and who did well for us, was never a great player. But it would be hard to argue with his induction given how amazing a person he is and how much he's achieved in and out of the game.

There's not many guys who made the admission money worth while more than Steve Prescot, though. His front on defence was a little weak, but running with the ball he was a joy to watch. He'd enjoy the modern fullback role thoroughly.

My favourite memory of him was scoring from the scrum base at home to Halifax towards the end of the 94-95 season.

Just missed out on a hat trick at Wembley in '96 due to the width of the cross bar!

Always punched above his weight - a great player for us.

Apollo was winner of the 1996 RL Writers Player of the Year.
Prekkie was, for a long period of time, the record holder for "Most Points Scored for England in a Match" following his performance against France in 1996. I think that record has since been broken.
