Sadly. We've had some great players over the years. A real pleasure to watch.

Miski is a good one. (Wigan bound)

Yep. Next year I think

But expect we’ll pick up another 1or 2
Been pretty good recently too.
Harrison /Yates We seem to be able to find good ones in recent years
Though that not always the case …. Israel ??
And don’t forget Frank Napoli. Oh god. Awful

You have to have the exception to prove the rule! But yes Frank was awfully bad.

The days under Barbara & Roy Close were always fun as you never knew who would roll into town that week & start a game.

Who remembers Mark (Spud) Carroll. He came over with the intention to bash up a few pommies. Failed to do much at all.

I understand Sam Davis is out for the season with an ACL injury.

Re: Injuries : Sun Jun 27, 2021 7:14 pm  

Could do with some reinforcements

Sid
Olsi both out for a while??

What about Egodo, Walter's, Fozard and Aston??
And the chap we were supposed to be signing, the prop from france (not Moran)

Carroll spent more time recovering from concussions than actually playing for us! Made himself a target with his claims on arrival, and more or less every team had a player waiting for him.

I seem to remember John Timu signing at the same time, with an equally impressive reputation, and being disappointed with him too. Excellent defensively, but didn't create a a great deal. Felt at the time like we'd paid for two reputations rather than the players we actually got.

WQ finishing with 12 on the pitch does not necessarily mean 5 injuries.
It just means that no interchanges were left to put a replacement on for injury at the end of the game.
Use all 10 before the final hooter then any injury is going to result in numbers on field dropping so could have ben just one injury not the 5

Re: Injuries : Mon Jun 28, 2021 11:16 am

Remember Timu and Caroll well and again agree. There was another player who came over but I cant remember his name. Someone on here will help me. He had his first run out at Batley when we played a CC round and I thought our team kit reminded me of the Kellogs cockerels. It was rotten weather and at the end of the game you seriously couldn't tell which team was which. He had come back from an horrific facial injury and jumped into the crowd at one game and threatened to lay a couple of supporters out for shouting how bad he was and upset his family who were sitting in front of them. Think his name was Richie or something like that. Was supposed to be great but I think his best days were pre his injury.
