Having watched the DVD. The Hull KR game is a cracker. Anybody watching that would think Leigh would have been sure bets for Wembley that year. What happened v Cas? did Leigh play badly? were players absent?

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?

Thats an understatement. :lol: They were building Arks down Glebe Street.

My Dad made the stand in the 'boys pen' as he called it, behind the dugouts, and I remember very little of the game apart from someone holding a brolly at the side of me which served no puropose other than to divert the rainwater from the same, into the neck of my Parka. I dried out some time in 1984.

Lost 8-3 if I remember rightly.

Remember it well. The rain washed away our hopes of getting to Wembley.

We all believed that 'this was going to be the year'.

Many sorrows were drowned after the match. :(

Same as '71. The team at the time reached a 'high-water mark'........Murph moved on, and tempted players away!!

Murphy was a master of getting the best out of honest hard working players.

Whilst we had a great backline of Drummond, Woods, Donlan, Fox, and a nowty little bugger called Kenny Green at scrum half, the forwards were simply a pack of hard local blokes who would run and run all day for him.

Collectivly there wasnt a better pack in the division, but individually (whilst Cook, Tabern, Potter were quality players) they were not world beaters.

Once Murphy left the momentum was lost, folk left or retired in the following years and within a a few years we were in the 2nd division.
