He amazingly kept his place after the 64-10 defeat to Australia and then had a dropsy filled nightmare again the Kiwis at Blackburn in the 1st test. He was never seen on the wing again.

I’d forgotten that we got beat by that huge scoreline in Sydney. Good job it was a 1 off test.

He was massively overrated by Cas fans IMO. He was an ok/decent winger.

No we signed him a year later when we were in the Big League

He was at London Crusaders that year. The two promoted sides had some good wingers. I'll add Max Tomlinson to the list in that case. Decent players Roachey and Maxi.

While I'm thinking about it Neil Turner and David Plange.

I did. I'd have been 17 at the time. Brutal game. There were a LOT more than the 4500 announced.

Very good Batley side too. Glen Tomlinson was great that day as I remember.
