It is bad isn’t it! The current lot are bad because there’s too many of them chipping in like they’re blokes in a pub.
Stevo was just talking nonsense and making everything out to be a massive deal.

Yeah thats what i thought. Hynes would get thrown around like a rag doll against current mob.

Only if they were still conscious which someone on the opposite side generally was’nt when Syd was playing.

One thing that struck was how hard Ian Kirke was running the ball in (seriously). When exactly did he lose his appetite for doing that? We all know what he was like as a ball carrier towards the end of his Leeds' career but it wasn't always that way.

I came on to say the same thing, vastly underated in this era but started to live up to his reputation later on

Watching Leeds-v-Hull FC from 2009 I was surprised by a couple of things. Firstly, Calderwood playing for the black & whites. I'd forgotten that part of his career entirely.

And secondly, how early the South Stand starting being in trouble, as portions of it were already taped off at that stage. I'd have put it a couple of years later than that.

If I remember didn’t they tape it off for a few years whilst trying to get planning permission to rebuild. It was denied so they made some repairs but still had to reduce capacity after that.

Loved rewatching the finale of Castleford's greatest ever season last night. Danny Magnificent.

I've just watched all the grand finals and now I'm very appreciative of the unsung heroes who made great contributions to these wins. I mean even Walters weve all gone on about him ,but he was on hand in position to score 15 minutes from the end to win by 2 points

Only player in the clubs history to score a treble sealing try.

Eric Harris, Lewis Jones and John Holmes never did that.

There it is......thats the post.
