Reminds me of Tom Selleck for some reason.

I played in the curtain raiser to a GB vs. France game in the early 90's. I remember standing in the tunnel at the end of the GB match and Kevin Ward was walking towards me... the scariest man I have ever seen in my life

(and that evening he put his hand through a window when on the p*ss... missed the next Cas game through 'injury picked up on International duty')

Because Joe Cool missed a last minute touchline conversion

Only one glaring error.

Not bad for the "best paper" in England.

Not.

Why not also have Stephen Jones make something up about rugby league like he normally does?

Not quite as cool as you make out then



Nothing to do with your coach playing an injured loose forward and your full backs in ability to stop a dwarf

Quite correct but Gavin Miller was a risk worth taking so my old man tells me, seeing as though i was there but don't really remember the game as i was 6 months old



I'd suggest the whole team couldn't tackle Mr Sandy

Joe Lydon sporting the look that never goes out of fashion there. RL top tucked into jeans.



Why does Hanley look like he's about to pirouette??

Best try ever! Yu couldnt even see Sandy because of all the red and white covering him!

There was no better import for mine than Ellery Hanley (a little biased as a Wigan fan), he killed the Winfield Cup, especially as a Tiger. Hanley had everything you wanted and was one of those rare 'back in the day' players that became a blueprint for the modern day rugby league player.

Quick reality check

Ellery Hanley was a Superstar in Australia more for the Tigers than Wests although his star was dimmed when he was taken out of the equation in the Grand Final by Terry Lamb.

Andy Currier was a solid defensive Centre for the Tigers.

Offiah was a combination of a Star and a laughing stock, with the ball he had pace and scored tries but he was considered a liability in the rest of the game and a bit "soft".......

Waddell was just a regular Club player that most Aussies would not even remember.

Lydon was average and had a soft streak in him like Offiah.

Edwards barely got a first grade game 12 games, 5 starts 7 from the Bench including the last 6 games.

Schofield was probably the pick of the bunch that was consistently good.

Kevin Ward was probably the best forward since Reilly and he is really respected downunder.
