Alan Hunte, after a fairly poor time at Hull FC despite being on big money, was nicknamed "Isaac".

Enough said.

"When I saw the Pistols and The Clash I realised it didn't seem that difficult, they didn't seem like they could play very well either, so the thing was to form a band then work it out. We didn't even know who was going to play what - we passed around all the instruments until we found what we were comfortable with. I wasn't comfortable with any of them so I became the singer."

Speaking if PNG players we'vesigned Keven Appo. Any ideas of a Nickname for him?

 

Dis-appo-intment?

Karl Harrison always known as Rhino for his running style.

Geoff Robinson - The Wildman I believe it was for his playing style but could be wrong.

Who was the 90s London Broncos prop laughing nicknamed Skud, after the missile. Damp squib, more like!

Mark "Spud" Carroll.

Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in.

I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try

Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen

The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

No, not Carroll. There was a useless Aussie import who was definitely nicknamed Skud, after the missile 

When it comes to Aussie sporting stars nicknamed "Scud", Mark Philippoussis makes searching on the internet for anyone else hard.

But are you thinking of Mick Seaby? The big lump signed from Brisbane?
