phildog Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Agreed there Silverback. Alex Brown,waster? 2 winning tries in NRC, played his best rugby with us, not a brilliant tackler admitred but always a great returner of the ball and garden to knock down.

Piggy's mate Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 You seriously can't have Alex Brown in this thread, just go back and watch some of his runs, tries etc. OK he wasn't quite good enough at SL but he got a shot at it... something many of our better players never got!! And he won us the only trophy in the modern era. I'd have him in our top five wingers since 2000 Touch Rugby W(h)inger and part-time Super Hero (Thursday mornings by appointment) BATLEY BULLDOGS RLFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think after his outjump of ainscough from moores kick v widnes he was gifted the keys to the town hall! I've enjoyed a few of his finishes and he was of the hard running 15st wing category but defensively and positionally?????!!!!! Ainscough and brown on the same edge would be an attacking wet dream. Overlap after overlap. Plus the amount of times we "welcomed" him back wrieked of desperation. That's the beauty of player value. Some folk rate personnel on one moment of brilliance and overlook multiple penalties given away and missed tackles not to mention months on physio bench!!!! Whos the next brev? A sidenote would linners of been punted into super league if he fielded kicks on full rather than the bounce?

il cattivo Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 anyway how about Richard Picksley? winger from Sheffield Eagles signed during the Peter Regan era? touted as having pace and try scoring ability.....one of Trevor Hobsons ill fated signings... or Darren Appleby who was heralded as Glen Tomlinson's replacement and couldnt oust an ageing John Stainburn from the the team.......

He was decent at full back too, wardy had knowledge of players such as Moxon, Irvine and Middleton who all joined in swaps or transfer fee's that wouldn't happen now in the game Appleby joined for keighley on big money at the time same with picksley and Richard price who was only one was turned out a good buy steve Barnett, Abraham Phillips and Bob Grant http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

bromleybulldog Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Not really a fan of this thread. Yes, we've had players who never lived up to our hopes but I still think we should be applauding them all for putting a shift in at one of the toughest sports in the world and a sport that hardly makes any of them rich. I played but only until the age of 13 or so (a long time ago) and I have nothing but admiration for guys who go out in all weathers and put their bodies on the line for our entertainment. They are all heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
