Lovely try that, back in the days when wingers were built like proper wingers with speed and deft swerve rather than huge, barge-d, Charles Atlas, hit-up lookalikes who are sadly in vogue these days.
I was stood in the corner of the Southstand adjacent to the Western Terrace at the time. It is one of those moments that would make the Top 10 RL highlights of many folk who attended that fixture.
I didn't realise that Sterling had rounded Michael Maguire and left him for dead. |

Not one single mention for John Basnett. Shame on you all.

Great try. I remember a try by steve Molloy bursting into that corner from around Half way against Saints in the CC early 90's, I was stood in that corner and always sticks in my mind. |

Lightweights like Billy Boston, Eric Grothe, John Ribot, Tuigamala, Joe Ropati, etc? Always had big wingers. I think your point should have been that all we seem to have today are power wingers. There's not much in the way of blinding pace in the game at that moment. Actually Scott Donald was probably the last really quick winger Leeds have had and I can't think of any off the top of my head who come close pace wise in recent years other than Kevin Penny. |

BJB wasn't/isn't exactly slow or massive.

With the current emphasis on attacking kicks to the wing it's hardly surprising that the small nippy wingers are a dying breed. It's the same in RU.

I think Andrew Frew was probably the fastest i've ever seen - him and Nathan Blacklock in his prime. |

Yep, add Darren Albert to that list. Nothing beats Chariots in full flight though, particularly in his Widnes days. |

Who was Offiah up against when he scored 10 tries against Leeds in one game. ?Fox
Atkinson by a country mile for me.
Off the field I still remember him at the Chained Bull in Moortown with his cousin Keith and one or two other Leeds players.
Those were the days .

At least three were against Leigh Deakin, IITC. He was given the rather unfair nickname of Leakin' Deakin by some. |

Joe Burgess? Charnley is quick. Tom Johnstone? BJB? Kieren Dixon? David Hodgson was quick also, Jermain McGilvery? I would say though, that they're no world class 'pace only' wingers in the British game at the moment. I'm not sure there's many in Aus, either. |
