Anthony Jones wrote:Erm, no he wasn't.
He had a lucky few games, where they realised he could do a bit of line breaking.
Apart from that, he was an average to good back rower, but certainly not 'one of the best'.
He had an attitude problem too. Remember the incident on the M4 with the golf cart?
He'll be remembered far more as a 'character' than what he achieved, or could've achieved, on the field.


Powell had the potential to make it in league for sure. I used to think watching him forWales that he would make a good league player. I think attitude let him down at the end of the day.

Scott Quinnell made the transition successfully.






(and I feel fine)

Scott Quinnell was a top player and could have been a much bigger star in our game if he'd come earlier in his career. IIRC, he came during the time when union players were still pretending they didn't get paid, so maybe it's a little surprising he didn't.

They all fail to mention Chris Ashton and Kyle Eastmond and Myler must have been brought up with League in his body. Usual selective reporting from a RU perspective.
And on the coaching side Shaun Edwards, Mike Ford, Graham Steadman at Ireland and Farrell and bRian Ashton I believe.

PM sent Mike.
