He was touted as a possible origin spot in 1997
So was every player the arl was trying to keep away from super league.

Bell was a pretty solid first grader but from memory he was being talked up as the next sterlo at the start of his career, which I don't think is a level he ever got close to reaching even in patches.

Unfortunately Bell only had about 23 min of solid football in his career. He could have been anything if he wasn't made of paper.

he's the 2nd coming of jesus chirst wearing footy boots .... just waiting for a chance to break out


There used to be a joke in the late sixties: "What would you do if Jesus came to earth tomorrow?" Answer: "Put him at five-eight and move Fulton to the centres."
Now it would be something along the lines of him playing middle half and Thurston comes off the bench.

It had more to do with his knees being too big than anything. If his knees were normal well the guy on the bus would have been right.
