Not Castleford then?

In percentage terms (42%) Leeds' most difficult opponent during Murray's time and he never coached Leeds to a win at Wheldon Road.

Other %:
Bradford - 50
St Helens - 57
Wigan - 63

did he get a draw down there? after the "those supporters who can't see the scoreboard...." comment?

I thought we won the game after that comment? Seem to remember us snatching it in the dying minutes. Not sure if that was under Murray though

Nope. he never mentioned them. He considered Bradford and Wigan as the main protagonists and declared he hated the Bulls within 10 minutes of arriving in Leeds. Hard not to like the bloke.

I had forgotten all about that. I think that was under Lance or Powell though. Still brilliant.

Yes and no (as others have pointed out.)

30-May-99 ..... Wheldon Road..... Castleford Tigers 12 Leeds Rhinos 12

The other game you are referring to was:

31-May-00 ..... Wheldon Road ..... Castleford Tigers 18 Leeds Rhinos 20

Under Dean Lance when Ryan Sheridan scored with 40 seconds left on the clock and Iestyn Harris (who had missed his other three conversion attempts) slotted the angled goal as the final hooter sounded.
