I glad that someone mentioned Eric Hughes because i always thought he was treated badly by Saints , he put together that 1996 team and then MCrea got the job of picking the team to win and go on to win the things that alot of people remember , the players were a lot out of the Academy that Eric Hughes put together.
Freddie Tuilagi wasn’t bad, although he could be a bit soft taking the ball in!
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional
We have been lucky to have witnessed some great players at SAints in the summer era and I think players like Hooper,Gilmour,Britt and Fairleigh where excellent signings(pity Britt and Fairleigh never got to play together) Iro was good for us also as was Mcvey. Think Long turned out to be one our best signings.
No mate Britt came in 2002. I felt sorry for him because he suffered by comparison to Fairleigh. Britt was a quality old school prop. Very pedestrian but tough and a good ball handler. Fairleigh was just something else. Fairleigh was like Lyon and Meninga. Unbelievable players we wish we saw more of.
