What is this ? A happy thread on Southstander, and one that's not been derailed by the usual "may Dad is bigger than your Dad" stuff we see.....surely my eyes deceive me !!

Des Drummond's "touch down" try in the JP Trophy Semi Final at Fartown....how it was awarded i will never know (I think that won the BBC's try of the season too).

Think GCH mentioned the Schoey try at Castleford after being sin binned, I've never seen a set of fans go so mad when he scored.

2003, we were right in line with Sinny's kick behind the posts, and the moment it left his boot it was over.

My first real hero in Blue and Amber, ET, how he used to just glide across the pitch was amazing to see.

24-24 v Hill KR in the CC Semi Final, how we didn't win that game I will never know, especially as they were down to 12 men.

Scott Donald's try against Saints in the GF 2007, it gave me goosebumps and I was crying like a baby at how excited I was when he scored.

There are so many more....I could be here all day

Sorry sgtwilko, I'm not sure I understand your post about me trolling ?

nor me. this is off the link Sgt Wilko provided:-

Overseas recruitment was similarly feted, with Leeds desperate to recruit a top line centre. Tony Currie was approached by Canterbury which scuppered a return for the previous year's 'Player of the Season'; Dean Bell looked like he would be coming back but the lure of Kiwi Graham Lowe's appointment at Wigan put a stop to that and terms were agreed with Peter Jackson until he was tempted from Brisbane Souths to Canberra.

In the end, once the 1986 Kangaroo squad was announced, Leeds got their man; bringing over young, Cronulla superstar Andrew Ettingshausen - who was to prove a revelation - followed by his team mate Mark McGaw, who were both omitted from the Green and Gold's.

which indeed implies Leeds did attempt to bring Currie back and ended up with ET, not a bad alternative.

I have to admit my own memories of this time are pretty vague as i had only just started out as a fan at 8 years old, my earliest memory being ET flying in for some wonderful tries that season

Sorry I thought he was looking for someone to bite with his statement saying he wished he could have seen Cliffie and ET player together? ET and Cliffie obviously did play together for Leeds in 88/89.

When I re-read his post he was talking about Currie. My bad.

No probs, easy done. We had so many great Imports back then its easy to get mixed up

What about the Blackmore try (circa 199icon_cool.gif against London away, where he ran in to score backwards for the match winner....,
