But I admit it's hard to like anyone who played for Bradford, Wigan and Leeds, I mean what sort of recommendation is that? At least he didn't write in an RL Journal! 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called rehabilitation. Quite a few of our current players have worn the same tee shirt ( though admittedly maybe not that heavy ) . Do you have a problem with that ?

Wigan Riversider Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Probably will always remain an enigma and can't see him ever releasing his autobiography. Fine by me. Left me with wonderful memories. I will always and forever remember him at the greatest ever player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonka Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Interesting interview. Incredibly, though, he seems to think he has only lost one Challenge Cup Final and seems to be conflating the 1994 and 1995 finals, both of which he played in for Leeds losing to Wigan. Admittedly there’s clearly a lot of similarity between the matches but still would’ve thought he’d remembered both. Maybe when you’ve achieved as much as he has it becomes a blur, although I suspect from hearing the interview he is a man more focussed on getting his performance right than the match as an occasion.
