Gregg Austin : Mon Aug 25, 2014 5:58 pm  

Thanks to a good friend who sent me this superb link of Gregg. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mzl_c7sc-2E Just look at the open style of play, if we played like that now would it bring those crowds back? Incidentally the first game on there against Salford check out the state of the pitch. No moaning about the weather in those days. Enjoy.

Absolute quality.

Loving the tries and hits against the Dulls

As a note: you didn't get many quick play the balls from Brendan Hill. How would he go in today's game?

In my humble opinion, wasn't good enough then and no where near now.
I remember his first game at Odsal for us, won the hide and seek championship that day.
Harsh? May be but didn't deliver £105,000 worth, and just think we could have signed Chris Joynt but didn't,
Looking forward to a right

Top player for us was Greg Austin. Always looked lay in defence but probably one of the classiest centres to grace the Fax colours.

Makes me sad to think we may never see players of this quality play for us ever again.

Hell, they liked a replay didn't they.
Absolute quality, prepared to back himself, should be shown to our team nowadays.

Class act. Pleasure to watch and enjoy. Thanks for the memories Messrs Austin, Watson, Preston and co.

Never say "never again". Sport is cyclical. I'm sure people thought the same in the days of getting beaten by Cawoods but then came the mid 80's successes. We've had further peaks and troughs since then. Who knows what may be around the corner. I'm sure that Salford thought they were doomed and then Koucash turned up. Have a little faith.

KH has said they have looked abroad. It is all done to cost.

Dont have to look abroad, there are plenty already in the UK that would be better than what we have but we never seem to be linked with them.
