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......

I watched it too. Enjoyed playing the traditional 'Where's Leon?'' game

I think I spotted him a couple of times.

Would be interesting to see how many times we were the "bookies" favourite to win a GF. I can't remember as far back as 2004, but we were runaway at the top of the league but Bradford had the pedigree and we didn't. Certainly not in 2007 or 2008. For 2009 we may have been, 2011?, 2012?, 2015?, definitely not in 2017.

Just remembered what Mckennas hilarious Knickmame was amongst the group.
Does anyone know? Very funny!

Yeah strange one as class player....
Didn't get picked in 2011
Saints went with Gaskell and Lomax, instead of Pryce and Eastmond.
Practically handed the game to us with that call.

Just watched ' The Syd Hynes lifestory ' on Youtube, fantastic ! Syd and Shoey were,and still are, my all time favourite Leeds players. Loved going to Cas v Leeds games at Wheldon Road,on the Wallace Arnold coach ,usually night games. Full scale battles every time with Syd and the Cas hooker Dickinson usually in the middle of it !! Happy days !!

How much did Hynes weigh when he played???

I've just watched the 2007 grand final what a performance. I was as excited watching it again as 13 years ago . Weve had some historic tries in our history and Scott Donald's try that night is up there among them

Fantastic achievement to beat that Saints team. +Sculthorpe the best team in SL era imho

We beat them in both league fixtures that season and were only 1 point behind them on the final league table. It wasn't such a surprise for some of us. The score was, but the result not so much.
