Match all season and we’re planning a massive after game celebration for not losing all season. There was a bulls fan standing behind me And my Dad gobbing all match about how Schuster was a spent force and too old and how poop Fax were.
Step up Schuster who intercepted a pass on our try line and went the distance to score in the corner then converted it to win the game. That was a truely beautiful moment. Didn’t see the bulls fan as he slinked off somewhere and we did ruin their party.

Happy Days!

John Burnett ( though only at the end of his career) ,Tony Anderson , John Schuster and David Willicombe.
Schuster probably my favourite he could do it all.

Anyone have suggestions?


Was only 1 season and techincally not normally a centre but a certain Greg Florimo played the majority of his rugby in that position for us and was class.

Other than that I think the Austin, Schuster, and Watson era takes some beating. The sky game against hull Kr where we put over 70 on them, Watson was simply unplayable. More recently I think Stuart Donlan was very, very good for us and was not far off international honors, another who's natural position was not centre but for whatever reason ended up there and showed true quality.

I had thought about adding Greg Florimo to my list as he was my sons favourite player of that era. But only one season counted against him.
Donlan oused class but again I don`t thjink he played many games for us.

Just checked , he played more than I thought, 68 according to wiki

I had one stood in front of me all game really giving to us both barrels.The look on his face at the end was priceless.

Schuster looked to be running in treacle as the line approached. The drop goal with the step and kick off his wrong foot was top drawer.

I thought the try that won that SL game was by Bouveng to snatch it 19-16. Wasn't it the last home match for the bullies coach Brian Smith?

Bouveng's late try clincher was in 1998 when we finished above the Dulls.

Maybe he did score that last minute try at Oldham also ..... it was in the corner and Martin Pearson kicked the touchline conversion to win the match by a point despite being distracted by the scoreboard being flashed on and off in his eye line!
