Commitment, Passion, Guts......

All appear to missing

A 'massive club' that's only won the Challenge Cup once since 1978 and has been Champions only 7 times in it's history?

Hmmmm......

as opposed to Warrington who have won the CC a massive 2 times since 1978 (interesting year you chose considering Leeds won it in 76/77 and 77/7icon_cool.gif and a huge total of 3 championships in their history. Fewer than Leeds have won in the past 6 years, a trophy Wire havent won in 66 years.

But even then, not as big as Mr Smiths (or whatever it is calling itself these days ...)

There used to be more RL talent in there than there used to be at Wilderspool, given the number of players that were 'given a lift home' in the Cheshire Constabulary's 'Mobile Library Van' ....

well i'm sure Tvoc will give you the facts,but here goes Leeds first won the title in 1961,at a time when they were quite a way above other clubs in challenge cup wins,also although their first championship win didnt come till 1961,it was regarded as "the holy grail,"the curse of the bambino"if you like they were championship finalists 5or 6 times before then.just look at their record in the 20s and 30s that cemented there status as the largest club,of course being the only big city rl club.Obviously I dont have to compair Warringtons achievements with those of "the Aristocrats of rugby league"Leeds rlfc.all sporting clubs no matter how large have barren periods look at man utd?

A self-styled 'massive club' that after winning the Yorkshire Cup in 1986 never troubled silverware again til 1999?

Not only are we at Warrington bigger than you,i'd suggest Saints are too. (although we are a bigger club than them)

As opposed to Warrington who won the Lancashire cup in 1990 and didnt trouble the silverware again until 2009.

Good fishing young man.

And look at the money you spent,or wasted rather,during your barren spell,trying,and failing,to compete with Wigan.

It lead to winning NOTHING.

Had we spent that kind of money we'd have ended Wigan's dominance that you failed to do. In fact Leeds didn't even finish in the top 4 usually. Or get to Cup Finals.

Other than 93, 94, and 98 you're right

again, good fishing

And of course you are a rather a small town,if only Rugby league could expand into major cities,then it could get recognition.
Very few people throughout the country has eber heard of Warrington,other than getting on the national news for anti social oafs murdering people

Wrong, it's the birthplace of both Chris Evans & Kerry Katona, how can Leeds hope to compete with that?

Mel B and Chris Moyles.
