    Richie Mathers
    Mathers is a great shout.

    I'd like to add Lee Smith and Stuart Rearden.

    Surprised Mick Cassidy hasn't had a mention. Definitely deserves one.

    Remember when Smith kicked that 40-20 by accident at Old Trafford?

    Hunte looked like he was having s good time after the Goulding tackle, he wasn't trying to seperate them.

    He left Saints over a testimonial. He was the first player due a testimonial in the professional era, Saints told him that as he was now a full time professional he didn't qualify.

    Is that right? I heard at the time he was angered about the attitude from the club after he had a spat with Goulding that involved a racist comment. But then, the rumour mill in St Helens has always been legendary!

    Excellent call.

    He reminded me of one of the gang of bullies from the Karate Kid. And acted similarly, always strutting round like he was some Billy Big-Bollocks. Him and Neil 'fat as a' Cowie, who was the archetypal 'walk with a roll of carpet under each arm' pillock.

    Richie Myler. I can’t get my head round teams continually signing him when he’d look out of place at Championship level.

    Yes that's what happened. After Alan left they started giving testimonials again. He was always pretty sore about it. Whether or not there was anything with Goulding, no idea.

    I heard the same rumour and that a similar incident occurred after we’d played Wigan in Swansea - this time involving Goulding and Sullivan. Also rumoured that Joynt stepped in and put Goulding on his arse.

    That's why I irrationally like him - always great to see him on a teamsheet facing us against us

    Is that not why Goulding left rather than Hunte?

    Hunte left in 97, after putting in two transfer requests, and publicly said he was unhappy with certain issues at the club.

    Goulding only left a year later, after gradually losing his place to Long (and some further 'disciplinary issues')

    Ah. For some reason I thought Goulding had left mid 97 and Hunte left at the end of 97, must have been 98 when Goulding left. Got mixed up with Sully and Hunte I think.

    The annoying thing was, didn't we turn down a bid from an Australian club (Parramatta IIRC) for Goulding not long before all of the issues came to light?
    It did feel strange when Prescott, Hunte (and to a lesser extent Booth) all lined up for Hull against us.

    Luke Gale. He was the poster boy for a bit before Danny McGuire played him off the park in that Grand Final they lost.

    That semi-final still frustrates me, we were the better team by a mile that night.

    Too true Mr Angry. Helen is as fit as a butchers dog in more ways than one.

    I think a lot of the reasons being given for disliking players are quite rational.

    Not liking someone because they are unpleasant/over-rated/bad are all rational reasons.

    My best answer is Brad Fittler, I am not sure why I never liked or rated him. Maybe it is me holding a grudge from the Super League war and a lot of Aussies loving him for siding with the ARL etc.
    I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.

    Newton - out there on his own as the dirtiest, nastiest player I've seen in 56 years watching RL. A disgrace to the game.
    McIlorum - apprentice Newton. Horrible.
    Hock - filthy and permanently offside.
    - and now the cheats (can't stand cheats):
    Sean O'Loughlin - constant interference at the play-ball mostly by lying around in the ruck pretending he's too old/infirm to get back on the right side, and gets away with it (because he's England Captain? or because Sky love him)
    Danny Maguire - should have been a footballer with his antics trying to con refs for penalties etc.
    Sam Tomkins - as above. Annoying, as he had enough talent to be admired by fans of all rival teams if he'd played more honestly.
    Ryan Atkins - classic cheat. Claims a try when he knows darn well he hasn't got that bouncing ball down in the in-goal. Maguire and Tomkins also do this.
    These guys stand out because RL, fortunately, has so few cheats. It is, happily, an honest game, in the main.

    To be honest Fittler was on the right side of the argument. Sl was crooked and stunk of Murdoch at his worst.
