I remember it well or as well as my frost bitten cranium can recall.

Was a fantastic team built around 3/4 class players and hard grafters. Crooks was best prop in the league as was Steadman being the best fullback. We had Blackmore arguably the best centre in the league on his day and of course big T who was world class.

How much would those players be worth in today's game? Also, to think did we get T. from Sheffield or York?!. What an unbelievable talent he was...

Yes. It was awarded just before Lee Crooks scored his try. I think Ketteridge joked in an interview after the game that he would not have won if it had been decided a minute later!

The good teams usually are.
I’ve always said you need a few players who are better than anyone else in their position and a coach who can make sure the tactics are built around them.
In 1994, we were all about getting the ball quickly to our right edge with Kemp, Nikau, Blackmore and St John Ellis. By the time the ball had been through the first three, Singe was usually left with enough space to do his stuff.
We did the same in 2017, but using the combination of Gale and Hardaker to open up space on the left edge.

Very good second rower, tackled like a demon and was nick named fearless.
A bargain signing from Swinton I think?.
He was lucky enough to get a trial under Darryl van de velde and because of a shortage of wingers at the time he took a shot

He came from knottingley rugby Union
No I mean Tony Morrison!. I knew Simon MIDDLETON came from Knottingley R.U!
Last I heard he was coaching England wru 7s team and doing very well.
