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 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.

| Quote William Eve="William Eve"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.'"
Stoggys on Burley rd springs to mind.

| Richard Gunn had a good run under Laughton, was hooker in that classic 19-0 win at Wigan with john Bentley scoring a long range special, gunn was dropped a few weeks later, he asked Laughton why and he was told "because your f**king crap"

As did the Fav, at least until certain elements were barred following an "altercation"*.

I saw all our towelings live at central park either side of that game during the great Wigan run from the late 80's to SL but missed that as my old man was running late after work and said' agh, it doesn't matter tonight son, certain walloping we have most of the first team out' watched it on SKY in amazement.. think it was where Schoey kicks it from the scrum and was it Ford? or Bentley? under the sticks. Looked to be only a handful of Leeds fans braved it that night but what a reward, still gutted we never went to this day.

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.
