Now why on Earth would I not be surprised that you have this information?

Didn't he turn out for a lower league side when he was back in the uk, sure I saw him or mention of him on one of the thursday sky matches just can't remember where.

Spent time at Oldham and Doncaster

The unauthorised biography will be coming out in the new year....joke!!

I believe he then played for Perth Reds if not mistaken.

Add Pat Weisner to the list.

Rivett was really good for us.

Agree re Courtier (sp) - did some very neat moves/plays at times, perhaps just not consistent enough to move to the next level, but did a job for us like people have said.

Always wonder if players like Goddard and Tangles would have made it in SL - fantastic in NL1. Also Kane Epati: looked absolutely outstanding with that hat-trick away to Cas in 2005, but guess didn't do enough in other games for us.

I thought Tangles did really well for us in our 1st SL year and then was probably one of the few who stood out for Celtic in their 1st season in SL. Always looked a threat but just not really good enough to use a quota spot on.

Spot on, he definitely did work on his game and improve. I wasn't a big fan at first but by the time he left I was disappointed. However, we then brought in players of the calibre of Galea and Newton. Tangata-Toa could never have moved us onto the next level.



Scored try's for fun in the NL's and had we been further on in our development as a team I'd have liked him to stay. Was very defensively sound in his one SL season and I think had the potential to become a very solid centre given a few more years to be brought along.

Unfortunately, at the time, we as a club didn't have a couple of years to nurse players along and see how it panned out ( I am now praying to The Rugby Gods that SmokeyTA doesn't see this or we're all in the shizzer) and Morgan's decision to let him go has been vindicated by the amount of time he's spent on the treatment table at 'Fax.

Jon Goddard is one player i wish we had kept. He showed enough in 2007 to indicate that he could grow into a good Super League player.
He was devastated when Rovers released him after working so hard at Oldham and Rovers to get himself back into Super League after leaving Castleford. I know that he was dreading dropping back into the National Leagues and i think it knocked the stuffing out of him because he hasnt been the same player since.
