John Basnett or Gary Lord for me!

Here it is but you're not going to like it.

As it happens and by pure coincidence the game at Wilderspool to which you refer was the game before Paul Worthy's solitary Leeds appearance where Bentley partially redeemed himself with the hat-trick.

The Warrington game was a proper sickener as Leeds were trying to chase down Wigan in the title race at the time. In a game where they were hammered in the penalty count by John Holdsworth (10-3) and had Paul Dixon sin-binned for next to nothing after he tangled with Tony Burke on the ground. Leeds had produced the one moment of quality as Rob Ackerman got Carl Gibson away to finish from 45 yards. Then John Bentley on the second tackle went to dummy half (15 out from the Leeds line) and hoofed it directly into touch. From the scrum and after a couple of drives Mike Gregory fed Des Drummond and he was over in the corner. To add insult to injury the conversion from Paul Bishop sailed wide but up went the flags to make it 9 - 6 and reduce Leeds' chances further of rescuing anything from the afternoon.

Now here's the bit you're not going to like - the Leeds coach that season was David Ward.

Funny how the mind and time don't always seem to go "hand in hand"

After Bentley's hat trick the following week at Belle Vue (mentioned by TVOC), John apologised on Scrumdown for, as he called it, dropping a bollock at Warrington.

Wasn't the next game after that the one where we put 50 on Saints despite having Cruikshank sent off early doors?

And wasn't the game after that at Central Park where whenever Wigan were stretched they'd stand off-side and Whitfield never played an advantage all night.
