Not sure about these mike lamb rudi Francis

Not sure about Mike Lamb but Rudi definitley played for New Hunslet around 77/78 when they played at the old greyhound stadium on Elland Road.Couldnt see a thing at that ground.Terrace was below ground level.All you could see was the edge of a track with the pitch some way beyond that.

Think Mike Lamb was a union player who converted to league and first joined Leeds prior to joining Northern.

Correct.

I had Mike Lamb and Rudi Francis on my shortlist earlier but agree with the confirmation of them being on the books of Leeds and New Hunslet. That shortlist also had a couple of possible long shots in Arnie Long and David Mordue. I think they played for a lot less than 10 years but were regulars for 3 or 4 seasons to get near 100 games.

They could have played for other teams but I drew a blank trying to find this out.

Arnie Long had 105 appearances and scored 21 tries making 63 points (3 point tries) in four seasons from 71-72 and Dave Mordue had slightly fewer appearances in 74, scoring 4 tries making 12 points .He played over nine seasons from 73-74 with a one year gap before his final season ( so in eight actual seasons), relatively few appearances over each of the years though.

Brendan Hill,s father Dave Hill might be a good shout.Mid 60s to mid 70s.When I started watchin in early 70s he was a regular in the team week in week out but couldnt be sure when he stopped playin for us he went elsewhere.I know we signed him from Queensbury.Still think Gerry Cordle only played for us in between his union years.

Was shocked to find that Trotter did not have a Wikipedia page considering he won a few trophies with Northern so I have created one for him based on a couple of sources I could find. Are his total appearances 201 or 267? And thank you ever so much for the other statistics too! You haven't by any chance got Karl Fairbank's appearances as well have you pal?

Total appearances 267. I always count the subs separately so if you want to add them together for Wikipedia feel free.

Did Brian McDermott only play for us? I thought we signed him from Doncaster?
