Mick Nanyn?

Fat and scrum-capped, covers both threads.

Paul Grayshon (sp). The son of the former Bradford, Fev and latterly Batley player Jeff. Paul was bloody enormous.

I was at Post Office Road the day his dad levelled him and he had to go off.

Eric Grothe was a big man for a winger. Maybe him and Big Les could fill the sumo wing spots.

Both were shaded by Tony Banham R.I.P. who was played on the wing at Doncaster for a time by I think Bill Kenney.

Ian Wilkinson the ex Bradford Northern Full Back

Oops just seen he's already been mentioned



Dave Taylor from the Rabbithos

I once played against Tony Banham, just after he had spent some time "away", and he was playing amateur rugby to get match-fit. He must have had twelve stone in his legs.

I could hardly get my arms round them to tackle him.

So naturally I didn't bother.

Well, he only scored about six tries, so I wasn't the only one.

You should have had former Hull FC full back George Robinson on loan for that game, Tony Banham never got past him.

Neil Budworth at hooker - he was carrying a bit of timber in the Autumn internationals

Meniniga at centre.

[The Big Gun]

I can't think there can have been many bigger centres than Jamal Idris - bloke is 18st+

[saints10coach]

Another bid for the full back spot is Graham Eadie of Halifax.

[saints10coach]

Current Manly Prop George Rose.

[West Country Eagle]

Neil "Kello" Kellett and Hughie Waddell as props. Not sure they actually played at Sheffield at the same time, but they were both well padded, especially "Kello"

[Lobbygobbler]

Emosi Koloto

[Railway End]

Gareth Handford, ex prop of Fev and Donny. Unstoppable from 5 yards out.

[CrushersForever]

Owen Craigie 6, Bobby Goulding 7

Tony Kemp would eat Owen Craigie for the stand off spot.

I'm big mates with Kello. his son plays for Batley Boys.

Who was that Saints forward who was about 6 foot 8? I think he once deliberately headed the ball to set up a try, unless I have just made that up.

[shaun mc]

John Harrison? Not exactly a chubber though more like a giraffe.

Stuart Evans wasn't exactly trim

[northernrob]

Jimmy Fiddler from when Bradford were still Northern.
Not a bad goal kicker.

[Roy Boy]

Gary Pearce at 6
