Leeds Rhinos - southstander.com • Re: Hall of Fame inductees 2020
We had Powell, Dixon, Medley and Heron up at Northern at the same time 92-94. With Fairbank adding a bit more steel. That pack was something else.
Heron was a shrewd signing by Fox in 1992. He would've been about 34 but he was still quick over the first 15m and was always good for a line break. If he'd been a bit bigger he would've been a regular pick for GB.
Medley was a luxury player really. Reilly used him correctly as a supersub. Before his time really as someone rightly said he wasn't up for the rough stuff and he needed a minder which he got at Northern in Skerrett and Fairbank.
Dixon was excellent and would be a good pick for the Hall of Fame had he played enough games. Another to play in two GB tours and get picked regularly vs the Aussies by Reilly. Like Powell he was a better player than Barrie McDermott IMO.
