Re: Best Goal Kicker Ever in Rugby League

<t> LEN KILLEEN CAME OUT OF THE OLD WHITE Rhodesia and was negative for us,but we gained with Trevor Lake of the same vintage,a fine winger part of the wembley win in 1965. Killeen and the true legend TOM VOLLENHOVEN tormented us in those days,but they were very good players,esp TVVollenhoven. BESTS...

Re: Best Goal Kicker Ever in Rugby League

<t>Botica could convert tries ,but not long distance penalties. As I recall, lydon would kick anything within reason,especially in the most important matches. He won us cup ties!!! A great RL player and Wigan great,unlike Edwards who was a great club player but lacking at TEST level.. note, in train...

Re: LLS

<t> In the real world ,finishing top is not likely to be worth the effort for the rewards on offer. WEMBLEY cup final is still massive in status across the wider sporting world and about half the population.
