To be fair Carling especially was a tough lad, did much of the tackling for Guscott and did the graft to give him the opportunity to come up with those match winning plays.

Next you'll be telling me that Jonathan Webb and Simon Hodgkinson were animals

the only union centre ive seen play who i am 100% sure would have made it in league was Charles Kent.



built like the proverbial brick outhouse, and tackled like a tank.

Absolutely right. Also if you thought Gusscott was arrogant you should have met Will. Met him after a game where he played for England/4 nations side against the rest of Europe. He went of holding his shoulder after 15 mins only to be found in the car park bars of twickers with both arms draped around to young blonde ladies, and it wasn't to support his bad arm. My mate went over for a chat and an autograph to which he and many more were waved away with a 'I'm to busy to spend time doing this' as he headed for the guiness tent.



Did have the joy a few years later watching him trying to learn to take penalty kicks down at the Stoop, god he was awful, I think I would have got nearer. i think he missed 20 out of 20 and nearly all were miles away.



Tough lad for all that, just needed to get his ego in check and he could really have been something.

Quite ironic in a way. Carling was at the forefront of the push to full time professionalism yet ultimately was the embodiment of the amatuer era.



In terms of playing style/ability I agree he was much more likely to succeed at RL than Guscott.

would have been useful if you would have added the entire post

That was your entire post Einstein.



All you did was say my argument was rubbish without giving any reasons why.



You've not really got the hang of this debating malarky have you?

I qoted your post highlighted the point in bold I was referring to and then posted.......but maybe you couldnt see that bit eh

I did, you quoted me and said what I had put was "rubbish".



And that's it.



No reasons why you thought it. Nothing.



With debating skills like that you should've been at Copenhagen last week.

i said a certain part of your quote was, and it wasnt a debate it was a comment, so no need to elaborate in it. If you wanted you could have asked me why and then got into a debate......but again you just commented on my comment, no questions.

Obviously I was expecting too much of you. Never mind.

yes you expected a debate but didnt get one....unlucky
