"I've got one word for you Mr Chairman - Penalty Count"

[quote="The Daddy"]I've got one word for you all......Steve Hanley[/quote]

Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"

I thanked him and went on my Merry way!

RIVERCAVE DWELLER OF THE YEAR 2015!

"The club used you last night and didn't tell the truth."

Officially one of the 119 Mugs used by the club

Why else did they sell Offiah and Tait?

Also, as a player he was one of the most brutal I've ever had the misfortune to watch. I remember an unprovoked, very violent attack on Bill Ashurst, which was way more than just a 'bit of biff'. It put Sash out of the game for the next few weeks, and he was one of the few decent players Wigan had at the time.

Big Jim can do one.


That was my reply to him and others on the thread

Gaslighting to avoid the fact they were millions in debt and had to sell not just the players you mentioned. But Davies, eyres and a whole host more
On him as an administrator, can anyone name an achievement of his?

As a player, we'll his game was certainly built around the thuggery and violence of the 70s

As a man, I can tell you for fact he revelled in telling tales of Stamping on another players head amongst others.

Saw that stamping incident not that long ago. Should have been banned for life.

Met Jim Mills once and once was enough. Horrible man.

I was thinking of the Ashurst last night.
I remember it really well as the attack took place right in front of my mates and myself.
For an "hard knock" Mills took Ashurst from behind and literally beat the shoite out of him for no reason other than he saw an opportunity to make a cheap attack.
I'm very much old school so a bit of rough stuff I saw it as part of the game but the attack by Mills was total out and out a criminal offence if it had occurred off the pitch.
I didn't rate Mills as a player and I always thought of him as just a thug who should have been banned for life after the Greengrass incident which was as cowardly act as you will ever see.

Re: RIP Maurice Lindsey : Sun Jun 12, 2022 4:23 pm  
I'd actually rate that incident worse than Ben Flower. With Flower at least there had been a coming together between each player leading up to punch #2.

With Mills the NZ player had done nothing to offend other than score a try, for which he suffered 12 stitches.

Should have been jailed.

My dad and I were firmly of the opinion it was a targetted attack, designed purely to put Wigan's main playmaker out of action very early in the match. Bill was in a rich vein of form at the time, and Widnes clearly decided it was worth seeing Mills get his marching orders so long as Wigan's main danger man was put in hospital. Disgusting and pathetic.
