Barrie said he and jamie had gone for lunch and patched things up. Some other brief snippets.

Barrie mentioned his book.

Murray took the mickey out of Barrie's book,

Barrie called Murray a b*stard for sending him to Bramley and leaving him out of the 1998 Grand Final,

Murray said Saints were nothing in his time here and it was all about Wigan and Bradford,

Murray told the players to knock ten bells out of the Bulls on that day of the four seasons at Odsal in Easter 1998,

Murray was laughing about Fleary Breaking Bradley's nose and said he hated Bradley

Darryl Powell took the mickey out of Leroy for crashing that Ferrari

Sinfield and JJB were gracious enough to say that the 1998 and 1999 squad laid the foundations for the success the club has had over the past few years.

Brad Godden has not aged one iota and could probably lace up his boots this Friday

The players have been invited to the game on Friday and have asked if they can stand in the Southstand

And finally, Marc Glanville (LEGEND) and I wistfully spoke of his ankle high boots (my first pair as a player were the same) and we mockingly laughed at modern fancy dans and outside backs who wear not only flimsy boots but different coloured boots.

Just to inform you all, Murray was not sacked.

HTH.

So in fact, it was Bradley he said he hated, and did not use the word "mongrels"? Or is Gareth just being diplomatic in his reporting?

Glanville...there was one hell of a player under-rated by so many, was he not?

Edit: seems Gareth remembered a bit more later...

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.

Nice man, eh?

Gareth was being diplomatic.

I can assure you he hates you mongrels. He especially hated Graeme Bradley but who doesnt.

And you are a piece of dog turd for using language like that.

Having spoken to Gareth about this very event in person I can confirm that Murray really did tap into the Leeds/Bulls rivalry and was firmly in the Leeds camp (as you'd expect) and had some choice language for the Bulls.

Murray sounds like a goo motivator of men, he definitely had Leeds hyped up for that game at Odsal in 98. They bullied every team in SL that year bar Wigan.

Why? For repeating what Muzza said?

Oh dear, I really must reign myself in to ensure I don't hurt your delicate disposition.

Get a grip.

No. For calling us mongrels. Irrespective of what Murray actually said. That was uncalled-for and completely unnecessary.
