Back to Phil's for the third time in four years for the 2001 draft with Tony Smith being this year's absentee. Not able to finish his post round and get across the Pennines in time, he employed Clive Williams to sit at the other end of the phone and relay his picks to the rest of the league. John Davies got his first taste of the stick that the FFL employs when he chose Curtis Enis in the 13th round when the former Bear RB had retired, but naturally it was nowhere near the level of abuse Tone had received two years earlier for Skip Hicks.
