Who was the guy who threw himself off a bridge? Was one of the first batch of aussies that came over. Was it Bob Arnold? or something like that.

Yep, Bob Arnold. Thought he was jumping over a wall but soon found out it was a bridge

He's still involved in the game ------ sort of. On the Gold Coast leg of the World Cup tour 2008, residents and former players, Graham Eadie, Bob Arnold and Keith Neller were tour guides

Terry Langton for me.

The term 'nuggety' doesnt do him justice. A smart player who used to get targetted by the big props, yet still come back for more. Smashing bloke too, but his head looked like it had been chewed after games.

The only time I can remember somebody getting the better of him was when a young Andy Gregory broke his cheekbone over at Widnes. Terry was playing him off the park so in typical Widnes style they took him out. I suppose he should have been happy not to be knee-capped in that delightful part of the world.

He played for Batley in a reserve match in 2008 and got red carded for headbutting, then played in their first team the week after when he got a right haul of points.

Big Roy was brilliant as after dinner speaker at Elland Cricket club last night, one of the funniest speakers I've ever heard. He was on the same bill as Lea Roberts who was as usual, brilliant at the fund raiser dinner that Alan Kellett used to organise.
