RIP Selwyn, what a character and a great performer for us. Ian van Bellen is the correct spelling.

Great Memories of Ian.Jumping and Spinning in the Tackle and generally causing havoc with strange running style.One of the first pieces in the Foxy jigsaw.People laughed when we first signed him.They stopped laughing when the trophies started to mount up.Met him in huddersfield a few years back,a great bloke.Thanks for the memories Selwyn.RIP.

Wasn't he basically a cannonball impact prop that played about 10 mins per game? Well before my time but that was my dad's analysis of him
