We DID sign Brad Davis - he also signed for Cas when they came in for him, so he renegated on us with the RFLs blessing!

Ive done a bit of research on this Williams fella - he retired from Rugby in 2008 to take up boxing (change the record) - he dropped from 85kilos to 69 kilos to make the weight.

I sensed with my many times broken nose something very pisces about it all.

just read the link to the paper and had to smile at this line from Williams



“It would be exciting to get a chance to play again at a top level,”

Lets hope he gets chance to watch Leigh's game against Toulouse last Saturday to see top level rugby

Anyone remember Cliffy Brown. South African RU goalkicking wonderboy. Came on as a sub one night match at Thrum Hall, played about ten minutes, kicked a penalty and then went home because it was too cold never to be seen again

If I remember correctly - it was a Good Friday against Oldham and he also scored the matchwinning try.

Didn't he go on to have trials in the NFL (USA) as a kicker never to be heard of again. Certainly the longest kicker of a ball I can remember

You are right. He also played more than just the one game.
