I remember about 5/6 years ago, there were some vicious rumours linking us with Matt Diskin.

Anyone else remember that?

Don't think it was a rumour, I remember it and I think we made a bid but el presidente blew it out of the water

Sincercely jealous now, we took that trip in November and it was one of the greatest forms of public transport I've ever been, absolutely stunning views all the way from Manly. :D






Best wishes.

Interesting to speculate if and how he would have fitted into the 97 squad. Presumably he'd have played back row rather than hooker. Given the timing I wonder if the collapse of the deal was the reason we signed Mike Forshaw? If so, this would probably be our most successful non-signing.

Surely Wood could have only been a prop. Probably have made a decent one at that.

So you've never caught the 616 bus up Allerton Road then? ;)

I think he'd have been Bernard-esque.

How do people think we'd have gone on with a Newlove-Guscott centre partnership?

That was around the time just before we got Hendo. I seem to remember us going after Ben Fisher, who is now at Hull KR, who was at Halifax at the time?

Not very well.

The gutless wonder would have spent more time off the pitch than on it, he'd probably be off for a manicure after his first contact with a ball.

Guscott says in his autobiography that the offer was on the table.
