| Although I've been to a fair few games including my fair share of finals I think 2014 when we finally won the challenge cup, the atmosphere inside Wembley was outstanding not to mention the journey down and the banter between Leeds & Cas fans. Fantastic day out and a great advert for the sport. It was also great heading home with a huge smile on the face rather than another year of disappointment.
Also that try from Robbie Burrow in 2011 against the Saints at Old Trafford.

Quote Superted="Superted"Great idea for a topic... Bravo!!!
Can't remember all the details, but I'm going to go for an away game at Sheffield that was one of my favourite days out and sticks in my memory. Mainly because it's the last game I attended with both my Dad and Grandad who have both since passed away.
It was in the Graham Murray days when Harris would start at 1, with Powell at 6 and St Hilare on the bench. Leeds played absolutely awful for the first 60 mins from recollection and were I think 20 points down in the last quarter. Murray played his customary trump card with St Hilare on at fullback for Powell, with Harris moving to 6 and orchestrating a fine comeback and nicking it right at the end - I have a feeling Harris might even have kicked one from the touchline to win it.'"
The timeline for that game can be seen here in the bottom right hand corner: www.sheffieldeagles.com/Match/Report/143680 and when was the last time Leeds won a game when five behind by kicking three penalties.
Quote Superted="Superted"Infact, I really miss the whole Graham Murray era - the most enjoyable rugby I've ever watched and what I'd give for the game to go back to that type of play... That pack of Moz, Newton, Barrie, Farrell, Fleary, Glanville - imagine the damage they'd do to modern day packs if they'd played them back in the day. Then throw in Harris in his prime and the super classy Brad Godden. Today's sanitised version of the game is nowhere near as enjoyable to watch!'"
Agreed. Can't imagine they'll be any letters going out from Red Hall asking the players not to be so rough these days.

| Gary Schofield moments stick in the memory. Playing against Halifax, he made a break down the left infront of the South Stand and Jon Bentley came across to cover. Bentos smiled at him and held out a hand offering Schoey the outside. Schoey slowed right down, drew Bentley in and then kicked through perfectly for the young Franny Cummins to shoot past Bentley, collect and score. Even Bentos laughed.
Second was an away game at the Boulevard (JP trophy I think), and Schoey got the worst abuse from a crowd I've ever heard (Sam Tomkins would have cried his eyes out). Last laugh though went to Schoey, not only did he play great but finished Hull off with an interception bang on our try line to go the full length. I was at the end in the corner where he scored and I'm sure he must have seen us right by the wall waving him in. Great moment.

| Sinfield receiving the kick off waiting for the defensive line to get a bit closer then booting the ball all the way back up the other end of the field for a kick chase. It didn't work but was an interesting ploy.

| In 2003 we had been going to more and more matches and this is the moment when I realised I was absolutely hooked and from 2004 have been a season ticket holder.

Watch from 7:49. When Dunneman put the kick through for Danny to chase the South Stand around me went absolutely nuts and the noise and excitement was just amazing. (Watching it back though I can't believe Kev missed the kick!)

| Danny Ward drop goal away at Hull FC.
Think at time put us 12- 1 behind? In a game we ended up winning by maybe a point?

| Matt Adamson try celebration, when he did the cricket bowling swing, to the fear of all the fans in front of him in the corner of the North and West stands!

It was 2001. Leeds went to the dreaded Boulevard with little expectation fielding a young side with a bench of Calderwood, Diskin, Netherton (Debut), Ward. The Ward drop goal (21st birthday present to himself) was in the first minute of the second half when he picked up a rebound from a Burrow short kick and slotted it over for reasons best known to himself. Leeds had barely threatened the Hull half let alone line to this point and that made the score 6 - 1 to Hull. Yet Leeds strangely never looked back and ran out 6-15 winners.

| The Hull away game which was 0-0 at half time - McGuire made a run in the second half that had even Tony Smith speechless at its brilliance
