Norwich City's Lee Croft was a very good Rugby League player.

Although he was a footballer at the weekend on Manchester City's books, he played for Abraham Guest along side me and our basic aim was to give it to Crofty in space. If we did this then he simply would have been caught and he scored some awesome tries and RL circles watched him closely.

Unfortunately, in the second or third year Manchester City took him away where his ties were cut from Rugby League altogether.



....Similar story to Ryan Giggs.

Just out of interest, where did you see the game? On Setanta or can you get NRL matches another way?

Shouldn't this be discussed on the NRL forum?

Barrett doesn't play for us anymore, remember?

It still has relation to Wigan, as we are no where near the same time without him!!

He'll be 12 hours ahead won't he?

ROFL.

God - no, we have enough drums at matches as it is, without them to jumping on the 'band' wagon.

Speaking of Barrett, what on earth is Tony Smith going on about? Quote:"Matt (King) has just got to get on with playing rugby league. We need to rebuild his confidence which is low, like it is with many of the players. "Some of us have got short memories. Trent Barrett was pretty ordinary in his first year at Wigan and people were wondering what all the fuss was about but, by the time he left, everybody said 'how good is Trent Barrett'. http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=rleague/09/03/17/RUGBYL_Warrington_Nightlead.html Barrett was fantastic in his first year at Wigan followed by an inconsistent second year.

Has Smith been on the old cough medicine? He does mean Trent "I should have been Man of Steel in my first season, but was robbed by a Saints substitute" Barrett?
