they were renamed in 1995 and moved stadiums

The Rads one is my favourite, John Monies was also very inciteful. His comparison of Andy Platt and Shaun Wane was "interesting" Graeme Wests was awful.

The Hunslet Club in the article is not Hunslet Hawks or even a RL club, but a local club.
Clearly there are two versions of Robinson's story. Finding another mention of either version doesn't prove it true.
Good luck, hope you come up with some hard evidence.
