Sorry didn't see that one.

Edited.

According to Rocky's dad Wigan have refused requests' from 4 SL clubs' to take him on loan next season.

Rocky???



Is the great Derek Turner still that fit.





I doubt there is any player currently in Super League who deserves to share that moniker. Maybe Jamie Peacock comes closest.

Can't see your point here squire, what's wrong with being called Rocky nobody is comparing him to Derek Turner, and as for your last effort it's a wise man or a fool to come out with a statement that in effect your saying Turner was the best player ever to play Rugby league, course he was

I'm not saying Turner was the best player ever but I am saying that to many the name Rocky brings him to mind instantly. His physique, temperament and playing style earned him that moniker. Maybe you young'uns think his name came from having an "R" in the word Turner.

I thought they were referring to Sly Stalone!

Most wingers are bigger than Derek was then and probably have a better physique. But that was then and this now. Different kettle of fish as they say.

Bit off subject but Turner wasn't called Rocky because he was big. He wasn't the biggest even in his day but certainly not by today's standards.

He was called rocky because he was hard, and I dare say harder than anyone playing the game now. That you can compare.

Hard is one word for it, with due respect to his amazing c.v. nowadays he would be punished by the camera angles and suspended regularly.

Crash tackles I think they called them. Different game then, little comparison to now, cream would rise though.

Back on topic, what is happening with Tim Smith?

This thing originally got my goat a few years back when there was a little half back for Warrington called Rob Turner. Somehow some people referred to him as Rocky too. It's probably only a Rugby League thing and more so a Wakefield thing where that nickname is synonymous with a single player.

Imagine Iron Mike Korkidas, Hurricane Collis or Chariots O'Lynn.

A few weeks ago Ray Warren referred to Aidan Guerra as "The Wild Bull of the Pampas" which irked me at the time because that's a nickname unique to Vince Karalius.

I wonder if HKR may be looking at Timmy now they’ve sold Burns to St’s?
