when was the last time leeds wore their away strip in the cc final?

TVOC!

No idea!

No clashes with Wigan 1994/95, London Broncos 1999, Bradford 2000/2003 or Hull 2005. No ideas about any before in the 70s and before.

If/when we win the cup, we will have beaten either the top 4 in the league or 4 out of the top 5 (us being the 5th) only one of which was at home. Would this be our best CC win ever in terms of quality of opposition?

99 we beat Wigan Saints and Bradford which was a tough way to do it.

This would beat it I reckon.

It doesn't beat 99 IMO.

Knocked out reigning champs a man down, plus saints and bulls who were dominating the cc and super league at that time. Ok, granted london and widnes. But it isn't easy being MASSIVE favourites in a final against a nifty team.

None of wigan saints or bulls were very understrength either.

I've always felt it's the one to win!

It's steeped in history, shown on terrestrial TV....wembley.....it just sends the shivers down your neck!

Now that leeds have made it again it's just confirmed it all again for me.

The grand final is just a glorified end of season money spinning knock out competition.

Its an illness

Hooray

go away

Any chance you can merge the rest of his bollox threads into this one as well.

He's just clogging up the entire board.

shame theres no cure for his stupidness

We should arrange for him to have castration..

Also no clashes with Wakefield '68, Leigh '71, St Helens '72, Widnes '77 and St Helens '78.

That's the limit of my recollections of Leeds in CC Finals, I'd have to research earlier appearances.

Good question though. It's probably never happened before.

Does this mean Leeds get to choose the referee now?

I personally like the fact he makes a thread about every thought that enters his head. It's exciting.

No sign of him tonight..

Is anyone missing him already?

When we played wigan in the CC saints wanted wigan to win.

Then, when we play saints in the CC semi, guess who wigan wanted to win?

Now, guess who saints want to win the CC?

Leeds are bigger rivals to the these teams than they are to each other. But i guess that what happens when you beat one of them in 3 consecutive grand finals, and one of your players tries to murder a player from the other.

The white change shirt was used for the 77 or 78 Semi Final Vs Featherstone at Odsal.

Was '57 the blue with the 'V' ?

It could well be the 1936 final, where Leeds played in a mainly amber shirt, with blue collar / cuffs ?

According to your ramblings on another thread, you don't care about the history of the club ....

That was 1978.



Leeds also played in the white kit in the 2nd round of the '78 comp at Belle Vue.


1977 was V St Helens at Central Park (7-2) in ankle deep mud where Leeds scored the most remarkable break out try, in the conditions, you're ever likely to see. From within the '25' as it were in those days Pitchford, Hague, Dyl and Atkinson on the scissors to the posts. Oh for a video of that and they definitely wore the traditional blue, amber and mud.



I haven't looked to this point. As a rule if I think I can find an answer within 5 or 10 minutes I'll usually try and do so. If I think it will take longer (or I'm unsure where to look or if I'm doubtful of finding out) I usually take the easy way out give it a wide berth.

In my time i've travelled around the world, i've been up and down the country watching rugby league and I've even watched it in australia.

But never in my time have I witnessed anything as disgraceful as what occured during the game on saturday.


..........Ryan baileys tapping of the head of scott moore after he made a mistake. IMO this is completly unacceptable and should be outlawed from the game. Ignoring moores reaction and the resulting mele, it was the tapping of the head that was so unsavoury.

While watching on the tv while this occured I was very pleased that the squeeking rat, jonathon davies waxed lyrical about this heinous incident and completly ignores moors reaction. This is good because these are the real issues and we need to stamp out ugly incident from the game......such as tapping on the head.
