English players coming to NRL

[Fangs]

Paul Deacon or Sean Long were worthy targets after Gower.

Back then Super League wasn't a retirement home though. They probably had no interest coming here.

I have a Bill Ashurst I have one of his choco late soldiers jerseys. He gave it to a relative who was a Rep for Coca Cola. A brilliant but lazy player. Stevo was the exact opposite until Dave ( the dog) Edwar ds ended his career with a VERY late head high tackle. I met him on a cruise a few years ago and we met at the bar a couple of times a really good human being.

What about the Frenchman Ben Garcia?

Love it, a player who couldn't crack a lax Matt Elliot coached team.

Ashurst had brilliant skills but could be lazy and off his game. Stevo had leadership and great determination and never gave up.
Both were very good players but in some ways totally opposite.

There was a 5/8 called David Topliss who only played 12 matches for Penrith

Shame Ashurst and Stephenson never got on.

Him or Craig Wing remember.

Oh yes I do remember. Did Wing ever confirm that Penrith approached him?
