Dunneman was a top player. I remember him destroying us for North Queensland iirc before he joined us

Odd to reply to my own post but I was watching the scrap when Izzard went after Grima and at the end I saw Paul Hulme lying on the deck very, very worse for wear. I spent a few minutes trying to work out what happened to him and then there it was, Steve O'Neill knocking his own player out. Gary Lord had stuck one on O'Neill at the start of the fracas and as things were calming down O'Neill saw Lord come into range and swung one - unfortunately Hulme was stood between them and copped one flush on the chin. I'd never noticed that before. Extremely funny. Wonder if O'Neill owned up afterwards

70 metres through the entire Saints team - best props try ever.

thackerays takes some beating

Think people are getting bit carried away by Dunemann and Mcdonald. Good players but not world beaters.....

At the time (2002-2004) Dunneman was superior in all around game to Burrow and McGuire. He also filled in brilliantly at 9 when we lost Diskin in 2005. I still am convinced that if Joe Vagana had not fallen on Senior's leg in the home league game- basically ending his season (even though he "played" in the CC final) we would have won everything in 2005 and Dunneman would have been a key part of that. We played the best rugby I've seen from a Leeds team and were so close in everything (and let's not forget the Bulls salary cap breach that year and Adrian Morley appearing for their playoff games).

He was a bit of an enigma.

for some reason smith flogged the players every session in 05. they had nothing left come gf time.
having said that the bulls should have been stripped of that title. blatant cheating the cap

didn't hull and wigan also breach everyone we came to 2nd to .............................best rugby that season ali at his best but faded , dunneman great transitional link
.mcdonald , feather thackray had their moments but missing the mongrel/attitude of jp/dicko (paul but even a bit of big roy would have done)

any link to this and the big roy/gorley incident

was at hull then and hanley got jeered by some at the boulevard , last player i saw in tht was cookson with no hair didn't recognise him, schoey once only other customer in stoggies, days of smiths arms too;;;post match david ward used to have all players visit each supporters bar when they were all in main stand, murray's side drank together at marquee and skyrack .......ts culture ended drinking a lot though remember bluey celebrating gf at walkabout

Lordy is a good friend of mine and he hasn't changed much in that regard!
