Lindner was shocking second time around wasnt he

I thought big john had a few outstanding games and 6 tries out of 24 games wasnt a bad return for a forrard and we finished 7th in a 14 team league and in the play offs, just think what we could have done if Lindner hadnt come for a holiday

Beattie with 10 tries in 20 games didnt have a bad return either, although if i remember correctly, he couldnt tackle for toffee

I thought we'd signed him from an nrl feeder club but says limoux grizzlies on Wikipedia, i remember watching his YouTube highlight reels n thinking he was a decent back rower who runs a good line. Just shows ya cant go off YouTube highlight reels.

He was a st george youth player and was in parramatta squad without playing a game.

I think James Grehan was a long shot at the time but Peter Coyne came with a big reputation, also I think we had to wait a year to see him. Slightly disappointing I seemed to remember after viewing him in a Cas shirt

28 years on I'd managed to forget about Coyne. Cheers for the resurrection Barking.

Sean Rudder was spectacularly poor after coming from Newcastle I believe where he was Andrew Johns half back partner

Which is why I rate John’s as the best half back I’ve ever seen play the game.I always knew he was good but imagine carrying that useless [REMOVED] every week as well.

Wasn;t he pivotal in them knocking us out of the CC season after?
Could be my memory! But they definitely beat us on his return.

He was garbage for us, but can't imagine he travelled half way around the world for a dogs abuse every week!

He played for Catalan in 2006. Widnes beat us in the cup that year. Catalan did beat us home and away in 2006 though, with Rudder playing in both games.

I know he was tidy for them in the return.
