Wakefield Ram Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Just saw this on the main forum, so what about players who barely played a match for the Rams. Dickie Doel must be in the team Others spring to mind Ian Hopkinson a big number 8 who signed from Trinity and retired before he played a game due to a heart condition. Late great Mick Murphy. Any others come to mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 All the South Africans that Tony Fisher signed, Michael Jackson. Dickie Doel actually played a few games over the years, just not many in any particular year. And don't forget the other Aussie that we signed when Murphy and Mita joined - can anyone recall his name? Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Peter Dunn never played for us, even though Bradford Northern and Dewsbury agreed the deal, he didn’t! How many times did we see John Barnes take the field for us? For all their club loyalty, the Brunt twins probably made few first team appearances. Legs, Dews, Legs.

creditwhereitsdews Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Jordan Tansey had a memorable spell with us. So memorable that I've spent the last half an hour struggling to sleep and wracking my brain and Googling through Super League scores to try and remember his name. Going further back I can remember two New Zealanders called Tony Mitchell, and Andy Vincent (New Zealanders) who were one game wonders in the latter Crown Flatt years. I really enjoyed Matty Gee playing for us against Halifax this year but I see he's signed for Leigh. We must have had a few through duel reg - like when we fielded half the Wakefield team against Rochdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I don't think that dual reg players can really be counted; only those who actually signed for the club and played at least one game should be considered.

I don't remember him actually playing for the first team though. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

I was there when Max Fletcher actually made a break in one of the few first team matches he played in. He was so surprised he slowed down and got caught.

Yes that was his name,I think he made one sub appearance and a few A team games, he got knocked out in one and that was sort of the end of him, had a couple of nights out with him and Tony Murphy, now that lad could drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF probably did play a few games, I just can't recall anything about them .... Other than he was deceptively slow Trevor Rhodes played in a midweek game v Fev and scored a try by reaching above his head, whilst on his back, to ground the ball. We put 40+ on the board that night but Fev sent a much weakened team...can't recall why. Anyone remember Les Marriott and ( I think) Dave Butterfield - signed from Shaw Cross BC ??

Not fair to name em.but oil rig jobs,wifes moving 100 mile away, changed my mind and want full time now,and am staying on holiday seemed to have worked for some signed and not wore a shirt, strange how they played a few weeks later when jobs fell thru for another club, must a left wife,and forgot to retire. Cant wait to see who pops up once we get playing again and have all had a jab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
