Just to add to this McDermott faked to go for a drop and then drove the ball in while the Wigwn defence was stood there looking silly. Cant remember if that ended up a try.

It did end up in a try but that was against Wire wasn't it? IIRC

Not sure, could have sworn it was Wigan but I was young at the time. You should have better recolection than me

Which year was it that we were denied beating Wigan in the last few minutes IIRC? Think Robinson scored. I sat in the North Stand then and it was at the now Carnegie end. That game sticks out in my head. Was that 97?

Sounds like Rd 4 of 1997 alright. Iestyn Harris' debut off the bench. Only McDermott didn't play in that one.

Yeah Wire it was. He ran diagonally across the left side of the sticks, of the East stand. That would have made a good 'What Happened Next' clip.

Speaking of tries against Wire, difficult to beat the one Harvey Howard scored where he basically left stud tracks all over Jonathan Davies in the process. Can't remember the year, but seem to recall Wire having that horrible green and white striped away kit that made them look like a Pacer.

I think that was this one:

22nd January 1995..... Leeds 30 Warrington 0. It was the same game that Craig Innes scored four opposite Warrington's right centre...... Iestyn Harris.

I’m struggling to remember the Leeds Met game on Sunday let alone what happened over a decade ago.

I don’t know how you guys do it?

I see your Davies embarrassment tale and raise you Kevin Iro slapping him all along the touchline down the Southstand and an ageing David Heron playing him off the park at stand off a few years earlier and getting 2 tries.
