Quote Dally="Dally"As KnockersBump MkII says on page 8, the only real point of reference is judging players by reference to their own generation. As he said, looking at things in those terms the likes of Karalius was different class to Gallen. You also need to factor in that British Rugby League in the '50s was way, way stronger in terms of talent than now. As someone who hails from Widnes, a place that has produced some great and tough RL players and several captains of GB, no player has ever had the respect there that Vince Karalius had.'"
Well said. Two of my heroes in the 50s were Albert and Danny Naughton. Both Widnes boys but nobody wore the P&B with more distinction. Danny broke his leg playing against Saints (inc. Vinty) which finished his career. I hate Saints.
