Gleeson (senior)?

Yes I was wondering about him. He showed some obvious class, but his corrosive influence did undermine it somewhat. Wasn't he the first to be shown the door under TS?

"that came with big reputations and delivered"

I don't think Chris Hicks or Lee Briers fall in this category, just like Brian Bevan doesn't.

What about our other RU converts ...

Kevin Ellis
Rowland Phillips (?)

I agree with you regarding Hicks and to some extent the Briers and Bevan B they should be in the category coming without the reputation and smashing it!!

Hicks was a very good winger but did he have much of a well established reputation before joining us?

Nah, I clearly recall someone on the previous Wires forum saying he was old, overweight and just here for well.paid holiday.

Josh Charnley
Matt King
David Solomona
Trent Waterhouse

Also I can't remember how big Gareth Carvell's reputation was before he joined, but his performances were up there with Morley and Hill.

I was always a fan of Gary Mercer, great player in a poor team. As for delivering big, it doesn't get bigger than Chris Hicks.
