I think we honestly went scouting Mark Preston at Fylde but got the wrong player when we signed Dave Tanner. Tanner was OK but Preston was lightening
I seem to recall that we were scouting Peter Morgan from Welsh RU and ended up signing Clive Griffiths on the back of him coming off the bench against England and scoring a try.
He didn't have the best of times at Saints. His debut against Widnes didn't go well, he was at Full back, Stuart Wright the Wines winger broke down the wing, twisted Griffiths all ways, Griffiths turned his back on Wright and completely lost him.
About 20 mins later Wright does the same again and Griffiths again loses him, fortunately George Nicholls was covering across, he hit Wright with a full blooded tackle and put him into touch.
Nicholls then walked back and glared at Griffiths as if to say "that's what you're supposed to do"
