| Quote DHM="DHM"Agree about Leeds. For a few brief weeks when we had Crooks and Tunks together we had a big, ugly front row. Then Crooks did his shoulder and managed to double his body weight while recovering. And that was that.'"
Crooks increased BMI will have been due to his method of recuperation.
Spend most of you time propping up the bar in the Horse & Jockey in Cas. |

Quote Bullseye="Bullseye"Some examples of Leeds chucking it about to no avail versus Australia here, just it's a bit further on in the video.

Also the second part has some great highlights of the 3rd test in that series. The game was much more open and entertaining then.

The clips of the game versus Bradford in the fog are funny, just for the commentators trying to work out what's going on.
How good were the 86 Kangaroos?'"
That Leeds team was as bad as I remember it. |

About that time the garden gate pub in hunslet hosted the Monday Club . A lot of the Leeds team and various members of other clubs used to participate in an all day session. Plus the usual hangers on.
Can't quite remember our hooker or hookers at that time. |

It would most likely have been Colin Maskill and Richard Gunn mid to late 80's |

Masky, Crooksy, Schoey and Creasser were thick as thieves back then.

Thanks, memory back on track. Great things expected from gunn when signed. Never fulfilled his potential. Maskill decent player, seem to remember him leaving Leeds for Bradford or Halifax? |

Many of the Leeds players could also be seen at regular intervals in the following...
Town Hall Tavern
Richmond
Trotters
I'm sure there were other pubs frequented on a regular basis by the squad.
The Leeds team against Australia in 1986 on the youtube link above was Gill, Creasser, ET, McGaw, Francis, Holmes, Gascoigne, Grayshon, Morris, Smith, Owen, Price, Heron... Subs: T. Skerrett, Medley.
Maskill and Gunn played that season at hooker. Trevor Clark may also have done. The 1985/86 season witnessed a lot of changes in personnel throughout the season. |

That 3rd Test at Central Park in 1986 was a joy to watch.
Thoroughly entertaining. Great ball movement.
Dodgy penalty try awarded to Australia at a key juncture in the game at 12-12 for that tackle off the ball on Shearer by Basnett. That would have been a penalty awarded today with 10 minutes in the bin for the transgressor. |
