I have that brain fug for around 96-98, I realised that on the memories of 1997 thread. Although through the 1990s I was obsessional about RL, there were so many comings and goings at the time that I lose track of who signed for us when. I remember Paul Hulme joining us but can't remember exactly what point or whether he was hooker or back row or even if he played much. My memory is much sharper about the Brian Johnson era than the Dorahy era.
It was summer of 96 for paul hulme, there was a swell of media opinion that was still moaning how unfair it was that widnes weren't in SL, and that certain top quality players like the hulme bros, and steve molloy and martin pearson weren't playing at the top level.
widnes released hulme to come to warrington, he played backrow for most of 96, then a mix with hooker in 97, david hulme signed for leeds who were absolutely dogshit that first year in SL, arguably they had their full time change over struggles earlier than everyone else, and probably got ahead of the curve.
