Having waded through a 4 page artical written in 1967, very well researched though it may be, I can find nothing of any merit in the text, that is significant today. Also I seem to recall that Coslett was involved in a similar kicking display at KR after a league game and came out top then by shoeing an american football almost the length of the field. The rest of the facts are but a distant memory.... well I am getting older

"The four kickers met on a gray, rainy day at the 35,000-seat Rugby League stadium in St. Helens. The dressing room was small and cold, and there was a pit in the floor, crusted with old bars of soap, for communal bathing. Baker and Mercer looked around as if they had blundered into the room where the yard tools were kept, but Killeen and Charlton were already hanging their clothes on nails along the wall."

Nothing significant today???????? - has that much changed? (apart from us losing our 35,000 all seater stadium obviously )

Rugby League is the tougher, professional version of Rugby Union, which is sort of a cross between soccer and American football

Well, the author got half of that sentence correct
