Hull KR (like several other teams back then) had a big fearsome pack of forwards which was on a similar level to Widnes in terms of being tough, hard and dirty when required.

As well as Mark Broadhurst they had Zook Ema, Chris Burton, David Watkinson, Gavin Miller, Phil Hogan, Andy Kelly, Lindsay Johnstone, Len Casey, Roy Holdstock, etc. Their backs and halfbacks were pretty damn good and well equipped with speed and ability.

Leeds always seemed to have too many playmakers up front and when it came to crunch games and would often get beaten up by teams with the more fearsome packs of forwards.

The game had its flaws back then but I do agree it was far more entertaining than what is being served up today.

I used to work on Burley road in the late 80's and used to have my dinner and a swift pint in there each day

On a Monday you would regularly see the "Mad Monday boys" guzzling ale whilst playing a few games of snooker in there before they went to the Town Hall Tavern where the serious drinking started!

Was snowing on the M62. Had a few beers in the Mustard Pot before my mate drove us over. When Bentos scored I'm afraid some arctic white bum cheeks were exposed to the Wigan fans. At the final whistle we had to invade the pitch.
Great night.

Richie Blackmore putting a few of our travelling friends to sleep in Stoggies pool room, good old days.

unbelievable win that was the more you think about it, and to nil that wigan team with the team we put out that night at Central Park. Backside exposure fully understandable
