Dean Hadley

The others had genuine injuries, you know, and we just felt that it was best to manage those properly.

You know, like Dean Hadley was one where...

There was fear there it could be a two, three-weeker.

It was only a week, which was great.

Uh, he'd be my pick of the Leeds boys.

Uh, how's Dean Hadley and James Bachiller on this list?

I, I, I have no idea, mate.

No.

Yeah.

You know? No.

I mean, nobody was more passionate about Dean Hadley than we were last year.

We, you know, we actu- we had Jack Broadbent in our Dream Team, the Super League Road Dream Team last year-

go for it

and um i'll tell you who he reminds me of in stature and how he plays uh in between harry rushton and i'd probably say um the likes of dean hadley So very powerful, extremely explosive.

Of course, it is different down under.

They play at a much quicker pace.

And, you know, their fans are just going to be hoping it really pays off when they take on the Giants, who are in fine form on Friday.

Dean Hadley, Elliot Minchella, Tom Davies, Peter Hickey, Jess Litton and Joe Burgess could all return for that one, though Tyrone May and John Whitbread may miss out.

So that game is on Friday and the Wigan at Leeds game is on Saturday night.

So the rest of the weekend's games then.

And it's, and there's players playing on there that can hardly run.

I mean, Dean Hadley, God bless him.

Bachelor shouldn't have been playing.

Sue shouldn't have been playing for me.

So I can imagine Willie Peters can't be very happy in the trust and the faith that he's showed in him to bring him over, give him that opportunity again for it to be sort of almost run back down his throat the way it has been with 10 matches worth of suspensions in, what was it, five games, I think you said? that's not the way to repay in my opinion that's not the way to repay somebody who's shown that faith in you and if he is angling for another contract somewhere else again I can't see many people wanting to jump at that chance given what they've seen this last couple of months that he's been with us

yeah and it was his try and Dean Hadley's late on that putter well made the game look a bit more competitive in terms of the scoreline in reality despite the Robins leading 14-10 at half time it was a game where Just the unforced errors, just, you know, some of the sloppy defence meant that...

You always felt that they just had that bit more, that bit more zip, that bit more energy, bit more control.

You know, if you look at George Williams, England captain, he put in a performance that was worth even being captain.
