Great memories watching that earlier. The last ten minutes were as close as I’ve got to feeling like any of these sports repeats are real these past few weeks. It all felt pretty tense!
The young lads were great but what an effort by the likes of Newton, Lam and Craig Smith.

Watching that I also realised how much I underrated Terry O'Connor.

Danny tickle was great, he was fantastic for Wigan for 3 1/2 seasons and people forget just how young he was, as well as playing above his weight.

Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"
I thanked him and went on my Merry way!

Ill never forget that game as long as I live is till remember saints fans where singing hey Darren Albert after he scored 2 50 metre tries and the Wigan players tackling there privates off for the second 40. its funny how sky chose to show the full game today
How good were Craig Smith, Terry O'Connor and Danny Sculthorpe? They put our props to shame, especially Craig Smith and his work-rate, unbelievable.
Also, it showed how good rugby league can be with minimal input from referees, no shouting hold/set/go, no penalties for the slightest thing, no wrestling and no same move time after time. It was great to watch.
Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

Danny Sculthorpe was one I was gutted about that never really made it. He was tough, but he had a great rugby brain.
His offloads were sublime.

You watched him that day and he was every bit and probably more skilful than his brother. His handling skills were immense and like Paul, he had that ability to bust the line by ducking under a challenge. I think his diabetes may have played a part in him not getting to the very top. It certainly wasn’t a lack of talent.
