I'd guess the JP Final you're thinking of was V Widnes at Central Park after the previous nights storm had snapped one of the uprights in half leaving it barely legal. Oddly enough one of my highlights of that day was on the return journey home and sliding clean across the camber and stopping only when collecting the opposite curb - and all from a standing start ..... brilliant.

Thanks for the corrections - its funny how the memory blurs things. I think its time to dig out all the 1980s Programmes. Kevin Squire - he had a shaggy perm didnt he? |

Kevin Squire! Now there is a name! Could've easily doubled as an extra in an early episode of neighbours! Came from the South West iirc

and Trevor Patterson,he was a good Aussie forward. Unlike international and highly rated Wally Fullerton-Smith who never really did much for us |

My memory of Tunks is him wearing a cravat at the side of Maurice Bamford. A strange contrast. |

Scoring arguably the scruffiest try I think I've ever seen IIRC.
Wasn't that the game where Trevor Clark when to play the ball to himself right on their line (in the days when you still could) and it just popped up into Squire's hands at dummy half for him to barge over? |

| Correct and well described although perhaps it was more of a flop than a barge over. That try only equalised the scores and it took a calm as you like angled conversion by David Creasser to take Leeds through after an absorbing 160 minutes of toe to toe combat.
