Then a long pass back from the tap and kick a 40:20. Sorted, we don't need props or wingers just four or five great kickers.

When the Gang of Four were in charge we kicked a 40/80 every week.

When the gang of four were there we had Joe Lydon who would kick penalties from his own try line and gain 60/70 metres. Everytime.

Those were the days.

Yeah but was the atmosphere any good? Did we manage to smuggle kids in over the turnstiles? All well and good hitting a 40/80 but pointless if none of the aforementioned apply

Replying to someone asking about a Burgess replacement

“ Moley wrote he was leaving months ago - was denied all around - they are searching for a prop as we speak.”

Interesting, cheers. He's normally on the money.

I’d take the Gang of Four era everyday of the week before say the 2016 and 2017 seasons when I literally gave my season ticket away. Two years when we played something that wasn’t rugby league and nearly finished my love of the game.

I terms of kicking there isn’t one player in the world of rugby league who can kick a ball effectively and efficiently in a single game let alone in a season. A game that expouses territorial advantage yet hasn’t got the nouse that a decent kicking game can outsmart bonehead well drilled defenders

Oh how long for the wrestle and middles who are tuff but didn’t have a clue about a rugby ball

Ps I didn’t pay once in at least 2 years at CP when I used to get in the ground at the back of St Mary’s. We we’re a totally shoite team then when we won nowt and didn’t beat Saints for literally years at a time. Good days tho as most days on reflection always seem to be. I should be barred from ever watching the team again for not paying and then having the gaul to reminisce on the greatest period in the clubs history

Sorry not a personal pop at you Grimmy but just the general demeanour on this site at the moment. Anyone who is different let’s just take the urine

... and we could all leave our doors unlocked . I was just joining in with the current trend on here of responding to every development with 'well it was better in the olden days'. No problem with a bit of nostalgia, I preferred the game when I started watching too, but it shouldn't stop me enjoying (and letting others enjoy) it today. We could sign Papali to replace Burgess and it would turn into a conversation about how props aren't props anymore and how much better Kelvin Skerett was.
