So, did you have a thing for, if I may be so bold, dodgy hookers? I fail to see what pleasure, guilty or otherwise, Tony Hodson could have provided, though Mrs Hodson might be able to illuminate me on that matter.

Paul Cullen coz I was in the same class as him at school.

Don't you know?

Check your driving licence; they're pretty reliable.

Richie Mathers. Both spells with us he was pretty average, but I just liked him. Seemed a good guy and respected the club and the fans.

Met him off the field a few times and always has the time of day to chat to kids and have a picture.

Mathews tackle on Bailey in theCC final was fantastic. My favourite memory of him.

Andrew Gee... Way past his best when he came here but I loved how he was straight in there when the grubs of Super League at that time used to try and leave one on Alfie Langer..
The Home game with Bradford where we came back from about 30-12 down to win was a particular favourite Fielden and McDermott who kind of ruled the roost as props at the time were brought down a peg or two that day..

I just thought he was lazy in the P&B. After he returned to Aus he played State of Origin again, I seem to recall.

Alan Gwilliam was in this category. Had all the skills necessary to be a top class scrum half. Trouble was, he did everything at half the necessary speed. Was like watching Andy Gregory in slomo.

Also, Wilf Briggs, a good player, had a unique ability to sidestep into a tackle. Never seen anything like it since.

Players that I liked even though others criticised:-
Eddie Hunter - ginger forward who got injured many times and always seemed to finish games limping
Rocky Turner - stand off with a searing lack of pace

Rocky Turner was better as a fullback in the end.
