Quote: Rogues Gallery "It was Tony Smith.

We were in the same hotel (Holiday Inn) as the players in Townsville. It was as bad if not worse than reported. There was a small shopping centre close by and you would see all the Saints players in one coffee shop, all the Leeds players in another, even walking around the hotel grounds there were the two different sets of players in their own sub groups.'"


We all heard similar stories at the time. A definite case of ego before country.

Quote: Cruncher "I can't remember now who was coaching England in 2008, but if the divide between St Helens and Leeds players was as bad as the rumours at the time held it was, and both Peacock and Graham now seem to be confirming that, it represents a total failure of whoever was in charge.

The Riot Act should have been read. The worst offenders should have been made an example of and sent home.

I'll never forget in 1988, when Graham Lowe had a discipline issue with Ellery Hanley, who was club captain at the time (and the best player in Britain). Lowe told him to stay away until he'd sorted his attitude out. Hanley did, for about 3 months, but he was the one who eventually came crawling back.

Egos can be tamed by proper coaches.'"


I seem to remember him making his 'post issues comeback' against Widnes in the JPS Final at Burnden Park, or was that Andy Greg. I think he had a wobble as well for a while back then. Major egos in that team that Maurice did well to tame.

Fans Forum 28.08.08 Fan from Haydock "I've got one word for you Mr Chairman - Penalty Count" [quote="The Daddy"]I've got one word for you all......Steve Hanley[/quote] Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!" I thanked him and went on my Merry way! RIVERCAVE DWELLER OF THE YEAR 2015! "The club used you last night and didn't tell the truth." Officially one of the 119 Mugs used by the club:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg

Nope
That was Gregory the year after - He was on the Bench that day and Ged Byrne played 6 - Greg came on 2nd half and supplied the pass to Hanley to win the game - It was Jan89 and Monie tells the story that Greg sat in the Tunnel sulking at HT and the Brass Band had to walk around him!!!
Also the same week that Widnes had announced Jonathon Davies signing

Ellery was in dispute early 88 and made is comeback for the semi final at Burnden Park against Salford IIRC in a bit of a Mudbath.
(Also - it was the game were they took a Photograph of Gill lifting Edwards over his shoulder at the end of the game in celebration and it won Sports Photo of the year or summat like that).

That's the one I'm thinking off (Jonathan Davies signing), tough win at Burnden. Couldn't remember if it was Hanley or Greg.

And then those players from other clubs were usually on their own.
