From memory it was just about a done deal till Russell interfered. I also remember at the time there was a Bradford fan posting on here saying that his younger, lesser known brother George would also be a very good player. Quite a good prediction.

@crusader said:Actually no, from his own words, he said he was excited to come to tigers after they offered him the deal. But said that the tigers didn't follow him up. In stepped in rusty, who flew him over to his movie shoot , wined and dined him and bobs your uncle.
This goes down as the all time worst blunder for Wests tigers recruitment .
