Yeah, great player, and also had the requisite moustache. I'd have liked to have fitted Wayne Parker in, loved him as a kid. If we had unlimited interchanges in an NFL style, we could have him on the bench for last minute drop goals.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Not Bernard then? :wink:

I was always a big fan of Andy Thompson back in the early 90s too, very under-rated player in my opinion.

He prefered centre so spent most of his time there.
We then got shut of him for one the 'worst props with the biggest reputation' the club has ever had infact the only thing I can remember said prop doing was scoring on his debut.

It was Greg Austin who got released for James Goulding :roll:

Watson played everywhere in the backs but mostly stand-off for us

No votes for Choppy Close yet?...& you've gotta leave a place on the bench for the worlds greatest substitute Jimmy Irvine

You did see the part where I said 'If I remember right' didn't you?
Try reading my posts in future as I never said I was certain of it.

Is this the part where I go :roll:

The eye roll was because we traded Austin for Goulding, wasn't aimed at you

Then i'm sorry but you can see how it looked.
But yeah that still blows my mind that we binned off one of if not the best centre we ever had for that pudding.

No worries. Should check what I'm typing

Shocking decision that was. Cut off the supply to Sullivan as well. Austin - Sully partnership had netted about 80 tries in 20 games when we let him go!
