Sorry I can't speak Ukrainian can somebody translate please?😉
If I had a quid for every time my old codger mate told me about that team from the 70's I'd have upgraded to 3* in Lloret this year!😁 Shame there's b*gger all footage of that team floating around in the internet as youngsters (42) like myself have missed out on a great part of our history.
Oh well, back to watching the 96 Wigan CC game it is then...

What still amazes me is that at his size, from a penalty he could gain 50/60 yards down the touchline with the right spin, and today these highly tuned kickers put it about 30 yards at best.

Lui v similar but a bit quicker. Although could be a replacement hooker
Rangi
Steve Nash
Dunneman
Look around SL and see how many half backs started here
Ratchford, Myler, Fages, Hastings, Sneyd, Lui

The best half-back ever (in the UK). Dai what a player you were, thanks for some great friday night memories for me as a kid at The Willows grabbing a bag of chips and getting the bus home from Weaste. |
