yep. ten a penny

Not when they were playing at Headingley? As I recall our home games against the Bulls were usually our biggest crowds of the season.

Bulls are where they are thru their own mismanagement no point feeling sorry for them.

I feel more sorry for the companies that they never paid.

If SL misses a club like that its a sorry state of affairs

Been watching some of the games from the golden decade and I honestly don't think there's been a better 2nd rower to play for Leeds than Ali Lauiti'iti

I watched the Watersplash yesterday. Laugh a minute.

One of the worst games of all time.

Ruined as a spectacle.

Still iconic due to the circumstances and obvious ending.

Remember, it was a different game back then too.

Really good long interview with Agar on youtube today as well.

4 tackles just been introduced, scrum feed dependent on what half you were in (and a "contest" of sorts), and let's not forget, mud. Lots and lots and lots of mud.

Absolutely.

I have slight sympathy with some of their fans as it wasn’t their fault and they’ve not stuck through some horrible times.

But the club itself doesn’t deserve any sympathy.

Like you say I feel far more sympathy for the companies they left out of pocket including other RL clubs who lost income and potential trophies and who had to pay all their players more because of Bradford spending more than they could afford.

Clubs overspending is often only viewed as if it’s only a problem for that club. It’s not. It affects other clubs and the whole sport.

Leeds 2005 campaign was made harder by Bradford’s overspending, not only on the salary cap but versus their own income. If they’d been spending what they could actually afford then maybe Leeds win that 2005 Grand Final instead?

Just watched Leeds v London Bronco's played at Brentford in 1995, we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory !
I quite liked Phil Hassan, but Gibbons twins, Paul Cook,Marvin Golden, oh dear !
Didn't realise ( or remember ) Chris McKenna and Ben Walker played for the Bronco's earlier in their careers

Watching Chris McKenna in these old games, I can't help but think he's exactly the kind of 2nd row he need.

Good player but we are well covered second row. I'd happily take B Mac or Fleary though!

Would be good if the Leeds YouTube channel didn't put up games where we lose to in the last minute to Brian Noble coached serial salary cap cheats. Just saying.

Started watching the 2007 grand final last night. What a performance. Two things made a big difference though..
1) that was first game Long had okays in almost 3 months due to injury. He looked wee bit rusty.
2) where was Sculthorpe? Injured I presume but would have made big Dif too.
The way it played out I think that was the game that handed the mantle over to Leeds as the best team in SL for next 10 years. If Saints win that game, they would probably have gone in to dominate like we did......
