Frank Reynolds was a fabulous centre. Unfortunately he was very injury prone with dodgy knees. Murphy reckoned that he would have been a "great" otherwise.

My dad used to liken him to the true "great" Jim Challinor. Praise indeed.

From my early memories, Joe Ropati, then Allan Bateman, i remember a game against Bradford at Wilderspool in 94 where he compleatly outplayed Paul Newlove, and there were scouts from Cronulla in the crowd who had come to watch Newlove, but were blown away with Bateman's performance. In the superleague era, Toa Kohe Love was pretty decent.

oooh and he does a bit of a boogie

Someone sitting near us had that as his manatra :)


Don't remember that. Although his MOM performance at Wembley sticks in my mind as a youngster.
