Crikey big gap to fill

 

He is about 122 years old.  Second to only Stanley Gene I think

Michael Shenton confirmed 

Been an excellent player Mike Shenton.  Serious injury at the wrong time when he was on a high.

I can see how you got them mixed up - not lol.

Honourable mention to Danielle Bose of Bradford Bulls Women. She scored a hat trick tonight for her last game before retiring.

 

We haven't spoken since school but seeing this brought back fond memories of an old friend.

prob a player who symbolises the birth of mediocrity in sl -  should have packed in 5 or 6 years ago but thanks to the very  poor standard of sl these days has gone on a lot longer than a similar player would have done 20 years ago when standards and skills were far higher 

Personally, I've always seen him as an excellent player and enjoyed watching him play. I hope he stays involved in the games as he knows it inside and out

This. There's been players who've played hundreds of games that haven't been recognised.

Would be great, Shenton, Atkins and Finn are my picks so far

He will come out of retirement and head for wire when Powell realises he’s much cheaper than Minikin

I went to University with Danielle. An incredible rugby player, but even better person. So pleased that she got a good send off last night.

For York so far:

James Green

Danny Washbrook

Ryan Atkins

Tim Spears.

[del capo]

 They should all be spending their twilight years back in the Community game

But they won't. 

They will do a Long, Gleeson et al ( the list is massive ) by keeping their fitness up , their  bar elbow active and shaming the opposition with their by then lazy  but still marvellous skills, all honed in TGG.

You can play RU till you are ready to be buried.......

What a player, and a fine role model too. 

Highly respected player.

[Mumby Magic]

Tyrone McCarthy

[idrewthehaggis]

Kevin Brown. Poor fella is said to have pulled a muscle in the Captain's run.

He has therefore already run his race now.

He would be a fine coach, but it seems he may have a burgeoning media career.

Tyrone McCarthy. Quality player, underrated. Struck a fine relationship with Mark Flanagan as interchange locks. Thought though Tyrone might hang in a year more for the Irish World Cup games in 22.
