I really need to pay more attention to what I'm typing and the subject of a thread, I'll consider myself rightly chastised!

Clive Sullivan certainly DIDN'T join Rovers for any kind of payday....

I knew when I was writing that I was phrasing that badly, I was more interested in whether he really hit the heights that he had for Hull and GB once he'd seen the light and crossed the river.

Anthony Sullivan played his best rugby at St's and only had one full season of top flight rugby at Craven Park, Clark despite his injuries after 1985 was the scorer of some fantastic tries, two in successive JPS Semi's stand out, David Laws scored the greatest try ever by a Rovers player at the Boulevard in Oct '83...

Again, I'll consider myself educated and bow to your superior knowledge on A Sullivan versus Clark (I started watching Rovers around 83 and not being from an RL family I never had anyone to educate me on what was happening at the time, I thought we'd be the best team for ever, the last 20 years have come as quite a let down!) and I think I've seen that Laws try on the popular video sharing site that shall not be spoken of and it is indeed a magical try.

A cast of many, many talented players missed but with unlimited interchanges I'd be here all day.....
