It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

Awful news, competitor on the field and gentleman off it. So sad, far too early...

Leeds Rhinos? 8 for you, Leeds Rhinos! You go, Leeds Rhinos.

And none for Castleford Tigers. Bye!

Re: Hugh Waddell : Fri Nov 01, 2019 8:37 pm  
RIP Hugh. As said above, top bloke.

Me and Admiral Hanson met him in the Supporters Club (I think at that legends game where Cliff Lyons was being both brilliant and hilarious. Somewhere, there's a photo of the three of us forming a front row. I'm going to see if I can find it.

Fletcher: Course, he sees 'imself as an authority on curry, he does, on account of where he was stationed in the army.
Rudge: Where? India?
Fletcher: No, Bradford.

Lost for words at this one. Absolute gentleman and fantastic player. One of my boyhood hero’s back in the late 80’s. Rest easy big man

Incredibly he's the 3rd former Leeds player from the 1988 GB vs Aus test to pass away.

Who’s the third Brisbane? Big Roy obviously, only other player I can think that’s passed is Mike Gregory but he never played for Leeds

Yeah, I included Jackson. Four including Gregory is shocking given they would all be early 60s or younger.

Re: Hugh Waddell : Sat Nov 02, 2019 3:16 pm  
Help me with my memories of Hugh Waddell as i was quite young at the time;
Think i saw him tear Leeds up whilst playing for Oldham so wasnt surprised when they signed him.
Got his Jaw broken in a really nasty challenge.. was it Nickle ? or am i getting him mixed up with Hanley ...
