Ah, Gareth Stephens, the halfback we signed instead of Jason Robinson.


Stephens was a far better half.

He may have been better than Robinson as a scrum half but Stephens was rubbish. As was his A Team partner Francis Maloney. They used to be real standouts at that level. Sadly that was the only place they shone.

Stephens wasn’t rubbish when Leeds signed him. He was the best in his position at that age group. Remember we are talking academy equivalent here. He was the better they could have at scrum half. Of course someone should have had the foresight to see that Robinson could play other positions.

Harkin would be a brilliant modern day HB if he could get fit. His kicking game was fantastic for its day. He was tough, skillful & could direct play. (He played for HKR not Hull).


Agree re Paul Harkin & never said he played for Hull (that was another poster). Kevin is his cousin and played for Wakey twice, York & Hull.

I'm not sure Robinson would have flourished at Leeds anyway. Richie Gunn looked set for stardom until Kevin Dick took him under his wing (allegedly - quoting from John Holmes biography).
