Two players of richly contrasting pedigree - one Origin player and Australian international, one relative unknown.

I kinda liked Lulham, he could play a number of positions with equal mediocrity.

Now there's a trivia question - the 11(?) antipodeans who Leeds fielded that season.

The aforementioned Currie, Lulham, Fullerton-Smith plus Steve Bleakley, Terry Webb, Trevor Patterson, Trevor Clark, Gavin Jones?

Grothe, Hunt,

Another two who if their like were signed now would be slagged to death, Paterson won the player of the year, webb played consistantly well for Leeds over a few seasons, He was over last year, looks no diffrent, doing well for himself outside RL.
Used to stand behind an odd looking bloke the season in question, from the first whistle all he shouted was get f*cking ricky loofham on, he wasn't even on the bench.

Laurie?

Miraculously found himself rated in the World top 5 locks By Open Rugby in '84. Could just as easily be said that all he did was keep a superior British player out of the team.
A hard worker, but totally outgunned when British players discovered fitness in the mid 1980's.

Not that year...not after the Semi at Swinton in 1984.

Laurie's first season was webbs first season.

Yes, 1983/4. Laurie was due to play in the CC semi at Swinton but half an hour before kickoff an announcement was made summoning Roy Dickinson (who I was infront of in the crowd) to the changeing room.
Laurie wasn't seen again at Leeds until long after a certain scrum half had departed the club.

The others came over in 84/5 season

I can't believe theres been 21 pages on this.

What have you been talking about?

It's mostly all photos of me.

I know the story, thats right, webb came for his second stint with the other 10. Steve Martin was half back in webbs first season before going on to play alongside micheal caine in dirty rotten scoundrels.

was the 11th man slippery sam morris or was it the amazing scrum half cruickshank?

patterson was most consistent player that year, neil hunt had a very good sidestep

gavin jones steamed & rolled far too little due to injury
