Indeed.

| I always quite liked Bobby Thompson as well (if it's the same full back I'm thinking of!?) Although if I remember rightly, it was in the McCormack years when we lost the 1st 10 games. Not all that difficult to stand out in that side!!

6 in 7. Top stuff.
Quote Red John="Red John"Bobby Thompson ('The Little Waster')'"
When he was at full-back, Thompson was really impressive in attack and I think he sounded the death-knell for Gary Broadbent. That's how I remember him. Broadbent was probably the last of the old school full-backs but he couldn't move with the changing of the role.
Quote Red John="Red John"Peter 'Pineapple' Tunks'"
Massive feet.
Quote Red John="Red John"Mark Wakefield was a scrum half (I think), so probably shouldn't be on the wing.'"
He did for Salford, but when you've got quality like Wilson and Foran in the ranks, he had to shift.
Quote Red John="Red John"Jason Williams in his place maybe, but Williams was a decent winger, just one that no-one remembers.'"
Same situation as Mahon really. Top player.

James Smith, he played for 1 season I think back in 2000 he hardly ever gets a mention.

1999, under Gregory. Worst side since this one we've got now.

Very decent. Kiwi international and Canterbury Bankstown first teamer at the time he played for us. Scored a great hat trick away at Fev.

| Two more names have occurred to me:
Paul Mansson,
Ali Davys.
Mansson was a stand-off with a reputation as one of the best passers of the ball going, and he really did have a good pair of hands. Neil Baker like. For some reason, he couldn't hold down a place in the first team, and we let him go to (I think) Widnes.
Ali Davys was a Cook Island international scrum-half who also struggled to hold down a first team place at the mighty Salford, so brimming with talent were we.

Good shouts. Mansson probably had most success at Hull KR. Davys was one of the outstanding players of the Emerging Nations World Cup but it just didn't work out for him here.

In inverse proportion to his talent. From memory, played about five games then I think we swapped him for Francis Leota from Sheffield.
Peter Brown. Another name from the past. The only thing I remember about him was him playing against Salford in a 2nd Division Grand Final at The Piggery, and him blobbing Mick Dean when it kicked off after the hooter had sounded.

Sadly, he missed five kicks at goal in the '88 Lancashire Cup final.

Oh aye. Goal kicking prop. I've a feeling he was a Kiwi international, but wouldn't swear to it.
