If any of the above observations were true (with examples) it would indeed be very funny indeed.



Reardon reminded me of the Bradford equivalent of our own Francis Cummins. Looked OK in a dominant side stuck out on the wing minding his own business but found wanting whenever the chips were down.



His elevation into the International scene cemented that view for me.

Reardon was never a good enough player to play at International level. He put together a few very good performances for the Bulls and, as happens with many young players these days, got a load of hype dropped on him.



Decent player but never a world beater. What it does show, though, is that you can have a stand out game in a real showcase match and dine out for a long time on that.....



Lee Smith anyone.....?

Reardon was slow, predictable and had trouble sidestepping even static defenders - especially wooden ones with handles and frames filling the opening to ex-wives houses.

Not yet as his form for Leeds has continued into this season when he's been available for selection. His International selection was as much down to a dearth in English wingers than any of his own doing.



As for dining out on big game success, will that be on quail eggs in future?

No, in fact its safe to say if it wasn't for me the dumb level wouldn't get off the floor, luckily I am significantly more intelligent than everyone else.

Quails eggs? Possibly. But it may well be mince and slices of quince. Eaten, of course, with a runcible spoon....
