Thought Rocky Hampshire was your best player today. Friendlies are hard to judge but what did you make of Leigh? We had 5/6 first teamers missing ourselves but I thought our pack matched yours. Good tough game all in all.

Well spotted Rogues, I fell into the trap of reading an Aus newspaper article and not checking that the web page was 4 years old, did Andy have another son because the son in the article is named John ?. Cheers.

I think there's two very different points in discussion which have slightly crossed over. One is about player development and the other is which position a player ended up.

I know this topic is completely off topic now but I just want to throw another name into the mix. When I first saw this list I thought that one of the most famous props in the history of the game was missing and I was expecting one of our St Helens friends to put us right.

Alan Prescott the old ST Helens prop and Captain of both club and country made his debut for Halifax as a 15 year old winger and signed for Saints in 1949, he went on to play loose forward, second row and finally prop for St Helens.

I recall a Castleford fan , whom I was working for at the time , telling me that Kevin Ward started off at Centre

I think he was referring to Jonathan who is playing in australia..
