my thoughts too

looking back how overrated was robbie paul? awful hands. all hype

He was OK behind the Bulls massive pack.

Yep, good stepper and evasive but not much else, easily make my team of flat track bullies and show ponies

Iestyn, was the one for me, caldwerwood was good but was never going to be truly great, Walker defo could have been great, every bit up there with The worlds best centres
Harris was grea, and if stayed would have been an all time great RL hall of famer.

Watched Leeds-v-London 2006. Someone remind what the hell was up with the pitch that year. It was in a terrible state.

And our home kit that year was bloody awful.

JJB at prop *shudder*

Iestyn is the best player I've ever seen by a country mile. I was so shocked he never ripped it up in Union.
Walker had bags of raw ability but his career never really took off as it should.
Calderwood was OK nothing special.
So agree with your comment

jp and donald shadow of 2007 too , hudds semi at odsal awful

Walker was destined to become a world class back row forward. Lee Smith also jumped ship at exactly the wrong moment - and he knew it. Clever player with a knack of turning up in big games.

I tried to watch the Leeds v Doncaster game from '95 last night. What a pile of brown stuff. I can see why at the time that team were interesting to watch live - they threw the ball everywhere (mostly side to side and back again), but they also dropped it a 100 times and seemed to want to run into touch at every opportunity. You could see that they couldn't defend either, the new 10 metre rule (which seemed to be 15 at times) was leaving gaps everywhere. I also can't look too closely at Schofield's shorts which seemed to be a slightly different design to everybody else's and considerably "shorter".

Yet people on here tell me the modern day players dont compare with those from that era. I find it laughable.
