We used to try and guess when he was going to make his step. All the season ticket holders around us would shout "NOW" at the same time

DEAN BELL. (hugh mcgann) DEAN CLARK. LEFT IN THE MIRE, THEY PULLED A SILK PURSE FROM A PIG EAR. Great achievements.

Lee Smith played in a good team, but he was definitely " Johnny on the Spot" in the GFs of that period .

JP was rightly recognised but it some of Kylie's hits must have left players struggling to remember their own name. Great front row pairing.

Dunno. Give the groundbreaking signings thread a skim and tell me all those listed were better than the unmentioned Kylie.

he wasn't a fanfare signing and didn't look much to start with , now still looks stronger than a lot playing

Re: Yorkshire Evening Post Rhinos unsung heroes : Sun Jun 07, 2020 8:09 pm  

He ruined someone in the JJB Burrow game at the start of the year, and looks like he could still play if he wanted to. Brilliant signing, and without him and those like him (if there have been any?) the flashier players do t get to do their thing.

Kylie was a great signing. The sort of overseas player we got that helped us to such success. When we stopped signing a big name to try and build a team around, and got a player to fit into what we already had.

Ditto.
