| Quote lefty goldblatt="lefty goldblatt"In terms of names, the 88-89 pack took some beating
Boyd
Tamati
Roach
Davidson
Sanderson
Roberts
Gregory (didn't Bob Jackson go home that season, to make room for Davidson)
Then there was back ups like McGinty, the young Hanley.... Basil Richards.
Losing that 89CCSF was a bitter pill'"
And yet we finished quite close to the drop that season?

I know.
From memory, we we led in most games that season, then, after 60odd minutes, we fell off a cliff.
Mind you, Time Square had PLENTY of regular clientele, that season. No wonder we've been known as a drinking club for years

I remember Boyd being dragged out of retirement halfway through that season, just after Tony Barrow had been sacked, and he apparently let Steve Roach, who had been decidedly underwhelming in his opening few months with us, know a few home truths about what it meant to play for Wire.
I think the thinking was Roach had been using his time with us as a pension top-up and p!$$ up all rolled into one.

| Hey LG - I did admit I needed help!
Actually I posted this topic just because of what was being said on other social media. Things look goog, but it's too early to make definitive statements like that.
It's quite interesting that these type of claims are often made by those of a younger age group, or those new to our sport.
FMC - Waterhouse and Solomona never played in the same team to my knowledge - the latter had that horrendous pre-season injury which ended his career I think.
For me he was arguably the most gifted 2nd rower I've ever seen.
That outrageous pass behind his back in the CC final against Leeds is one of my favourite moves ever.
