Sorenson did play for Wigan......
He did indeed and I think Vince Karalius was his coach
Thought it was Tony Karalius ? It would have been about 1975/6 ? Kurt was about 17 years old, that's all

I think it was Vince but dont quote me. I think Kurt left when Karalius got the boot and went to play for Cronulla along with Dane.

Did you not see him use Gary Jack has a punch bag? he must of been a hard player to keep playing after coming out :eh:
Think he's a bit of a movie star these days playing surprisingly enough the ''hard guy'' .

I remember the incident, Jack got well battered and his face was a right mess. I think Jack considered taking legal action. Jack was playing for Balmain, cannot remember who Roberts was played for. He was a fierce tackler and got through loads of work.

I always remember Boyd would be mentioned regularly as the most hurtful tackler faced in the player question profiles that most programmes had/have.
