That's a bit racist.

It's the off-season. Some people seem to have their brains taken out for a couple of months.

Why is HE the pioneer of black players in RL?



The first black player to play for Great Britain that was Cec Thompson

The first black captain of Great Britain was Clive Sullivan



How do they come to the conclusion that it's Boston?

He broke the try scoring record for GB on his first tour after only 5 games of Rugby League. He was the first black player to tour. He was the first player to score four tries in test V NZ.



He is still one of the most revered about British players in Australia, as anyone who has been on tours over there.



There's only ONE Billy B.

I'm not knocking him or his record, but how is he a pioneer in the context of the subject?

Please note, this was not awarded by biased Wigan fans....

But Ali, Owens and Pele weren't the first great black players/athletes in their fields either, so how were they pioneers?

Please don't go confusing the issue when someone's anti-Wigan agenda rears its ugly head.

Errr i'm not, it's whoever wrote the article, and how he chose Boston over Sullivan?

Because Sullivan was a good player. Boston was 10 times better.
