jt Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Im hoping Fax came to an agreement to have first choice on him when they agreed to let him out of his contract. When Liam spoke at our awards night he spoke of his love for the club and how he thought he was going to finish his career with us but then the Cas offer came out of the blue and was too good to turn down and he were gratful to Fax for letting him out of the contract. What did you want him to say at the Fax awards night I been playing at Fev because there a better club but the new coach doesn't want me so I will settle for Fax As for Moore lets see what happens because if he plays like he did at back end of last season and improves on that as a player then we will be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatleyFanAndy Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Mybe he dunt like fighting for the no7 shirt because he is'nt garranteed it nowThat probably IS the case. He believes (and has said before according to some old posts) that he should be a sure thing for a shirt. He can do the business but instead of doing it and gaining his place in the team properly, he takes his toys home when he isn't picked. A shame for a talented lad to be this way. On his day he can be great but when his head's up his rectal passage he can be silly on the field and the game goes against you. SIGNATURE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neutralfan Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I have watched our great game for 40 years and the best British no.7 i have seen was brought up on Post Office Road overlooking the ground!He was a genuine tough lad with all the skills and his battles with Australian Test tough guy Tommy Raudonikas were legendary .

The Phantom Horseman Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I have watched our great game for 40 years and the best British no.7 i have seen was brought up on Post Office Road overlooking the ground!He was a genuine tough lad with all the skills and his battles with Australian Test tough guy Tommy Raudonikas were legendary . not much footage of the great man around apart from the Challenge Cup finals (he was outstanding in '73), but there's a brief glimpse of him bursting through the Aussie ranks early on in the clip below taken from the RL World Cup in 1972...that game had everything, some great tries. some controversial refereeing (look at the blatant push on Australia's first try, then the first-ever 7-point try) some great play from Bobby Fulton, remarkable goal-kicking by Terry Clawson and even a late try by (ahem) Stevo.

Mark H Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Deryck Fox wasn't too shabby either,infact Moore could pick left or right boot from these two and he couldn't lace either of 'em.So Gareth keep yours on the ground and screw your loaf because we've had some world class scrum-halves grace the field for us in the No7 shirt,it deserves respect for the privilege of playing in it.

Blue Pike Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 My top 5 Steve Nash,Phil Butler (my uncle),Derrick Fox,Dale Fennel and Tex Hudson.Compared to these fantastic scrum halves I'd class Moore at around 48th and I bet my 5 mentioned wish they were on his wages when they played.

These lists are subjective and obviously depend upon the age of the person. I would have the name D.Fox mentioned twice in addition to S.Nash. I can just remember Don Fox playing when I was a kid. I have been very lucky to watch these players, and it's part of the reason I still come down - waiting for the next one. I have fond memories of your Uncle Phil - he gave everything. I seem to remember him getting involved briefly in a game he wasn't actually playing in. Not sure if any video still exists of that incident versus the touring Aussies. If he hasn't mentioned it to you ask him about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send Phil my regards BP, we played together in the juniors and I loved him to bits. In my book he was under-rated because he retired too early through injury, but he helped turn Rovers around when they were struggling after Nashy moved on. They tried half a dozen scrum halves before Phil forced his way in, and what he lacked in skills he more than made up for in tenacity and spirit. Moore is more skilful than Phil was but if he had half his attitude and aggression he would be a world beater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
