In 2011 he won the Man of Steel, 10 years later he will be playing in front of maybe about 100 people and getting battered by semi pro players putting at least 60 points a game on his team.

moorside roughyed 3,047 Report post Posted October 9 If anything else, him and Henson will definitely get people's attention. They might even put a few more bums on seats come next season. Hopefully. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JM2010 481 Report post Posted October 9 Two big names to get people talking about RL in Wales and the West Wales Raiders in particular. If it increases their profile and gets a few more through the turnstiles then it can only be seen as a positive. They might even help them win a game or two and maybe attract one or two more signings 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkw 4,644 Report post Posted October 9 (edited) Brilliant stuff by the Welsh, it's a great story for their half backs if nothing else.

His drop off in form was staggering. Played at Fev in the cup in 2012. Breaking Tangi Ropati's jaw was his only significant contribution to that game. He was bloody awful and the slide continued. A character with flaws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
