| Brooke Cowden definitely.
On Innes I was struggling a bit for centres - he was a lovely player to watch. I always thought Iro was much better at Wigan than at Leeds where he seems not that bothered.

Could put Adrian Vowles in there. He wasn't bad, just fizzled out and left quite quickly. Or Nathan McAvoy just for a laugh although his was a decidedly odd brief encounter.

| TBH a number of the signings were at the tail end f their career so the expectation shouldn't have been as high:
From Wigan - Wane, Connolly, Stephenson, Hanley, Gregory, Goodway, Connolly, Goulding,
Any others

Thought you got very good value from Hanley and Connolly. Less so the others.
Quite a few were signed past their best. David Hulme, Mick Worrall etc.

Context is everything though. Hulme came into a ****show and without his influence I reckon we could have got relegated. Certainly from what I can remember of that disastrous season performances picked up after he was signed. Worrall yes, not sure what Doug expected there.
Putting Hanley or Goulding in this sort of team is totally unwarranted though.

Craig Innes was an outstanding signing for us and was one of the best players in the comp so I'm not sure what you're on about with this?

| good shout Bullseye David Young is, add John Gallagher to that; my oh my those guys came with huge expectation , cost and fanfare from Union when i was a kid and what huge flops they were. i do wonder if they would have fared better had they joined other clubs of the time that seemed to go far better with cross over players, Widnes in particular springing to mind.
also the Wigan cast offs we seemed to pick up. Gregory, Goodway, Wane only Hanley came off really.
disagree with Innes and Iro. ok maybe Iro was a bit on and off but when on he was a treat to watch..but Innes was class most weeks from what i remember.

Craig Innes, not in a million years, and when Iro could be ar**d he was a monster.

Hulme was class for us in his brief spell at the club. We most likely would have been relegated without him.

| Ok so Innes shouldn't have been in that team. I guess he just summed up Leeds at that time - flash, looked wonderful at times but never won anything.
Always thought Phil Ford was a letdown for Leeds despite that cover tackle. He was far more consistent at Northern.
Mike O'Neil is a good shout.
As for Goulding he was a great player and could've been a star for Leeds had it not been for his temperament and dislike for Dougie's car.

According to Douglas, Mick Worrall never took a backward step. I watched him plenty in a Leeds shirt, he didn’t take many forwards either...
