I was there. Bal Numapo, a man of substantial beardage, played for the Rest Of The World.



He got a mention in short lived ITV sitcom 'Not With A Bang'. Stephen Rea played a Barrow fan, and waxed lyrical about him.

was in 99. Stayed well in the game for a good 60 minutes but then the extra man told. Chris smith (who was a cocky f*ck at the time) scored one of the game breaking tries from a pass that was, no exageration, about 5 yards forward, was right in line with it.

I think he'd just tackled Paul Davidson, got up and gave him a left hook.

From memory, Davidson attempted some of his usual 5h1thouse tactics to wind Morley up.



Russell Smith was the ref. He gave us nothing.

Wasn't it that Morley incident that prompted Stevo to comment something like 'He's been sent off for throwing the better punch!'?

And with good reason as was evidenced in the act of scoring a try while he was still with Castleford at Wheldon Road as a defender managed to grab one leg of his shorts as he dived over ..... impressive toolage was on show, perhaps just as well scrumdown was aired well after the watershed.



Reminds me also of the time Apollo Perelini (I think) was caught on camera in the warm up before a St Helens WCC game knelt on one knee as he casually relieved himself.



Sorry for straying off topic but if anyone asks of my recollections of those two players those two images are uppermost, not sure what that says but it can't be normal ..... I think it's attention to detail, yeah that's it.

i work with chris smith at times and he's a top lad.

Been out drinking with him once funny as fook

Is that before you were tucked up in bed by 6pm. ???

After tvoc's revelation, try not to stare next time you see him!
