Impressive - though only a fraction of a second from blowing a try.

On the one-game wonders topic -

Aussie half-back who appeared for one game in the late 80s on trial, never to be seen again (over here anyways)?

Carl Grigg played twice for Leeds, if not him then Mark Wilkes but he played three times.

Not sure which one was the Aussie though without checking.

It was Carl Grigg I was thinking of tvoc, didn't realise he'd played twice - thought it was just that away game at Sheffield.

Wasn't he from Morley via Perth, WA or something like that?
