Noel "Crusher" Cleal - nickname given after he tackled a runaway pig.

How did you guess?

Rented

And I'm old enough to remember it being on telly. BBC 2 Late Night Lineup with Colin Welland.

Matchbox rugby?

Labour

Or even Leigh. (Every thread seems to involve Leigh at some stage so it's my turn to start it, for the first and last time).

Handy for the ferry.

Might happen one day. I was in Croatia last year and a major supermarket chain accepted crypto, along with quite a few bars I was in.

Ditto for me but I used to think the same way, but at Christmas I got a bitcoin in my piece of Christmas pud.

I'll have it for what you paid for it, less depreciation.

It happened with increasing frequency towards the end of the NRL season, also from goal line dropouts. Some teams had quite a high success rate, probably why Leeds are trying it.

Has anyone on this forum "invested"? There's a good article on the phenomenon here, along with other views on the game. https://medium.com/@tomjwhite9/rugby-leagues-abandoned-nft-play-31bdc166df66 I must admit the George Williams and Hull FC ones passed me by completely.

For example Cliff Watson, Len Killeen and Merv Hicks at Saints, Graham Rees and Alan Buckley at Swinton, and I'm sure many others. These were not big name signings, just club players spotted by scouts.

Agreed. It's a kangaroo court.

Don't you mean Dai Lemma?
