I might have been bit by the old nostalgia bug, been constantly lectured on how things were better in the old days , it just seemed a better quality of contest, bit more random like you said, you get plenty of forward passes today so that can't be used as a measure tool.

I agree there not the athletes of today but there just seems more effort, urgency, variation than what I'm used to when watching the bulk of Super League matches.

Yeah have to agree Myler looked an handful, whose academies (or equivalent) produced the best players back then?

Mick was my hero as a lad growing up in Widnes, he had everything, good hands, a great kicking game, was as tough as teak and always played fair.

A sad loss.

As for people saying Wright bottled it in the corner, don't forget in those days you couldn't dive and take out the corner stick while scoring as you can now.

Will be tough being another prop down. At risk of thread drift - just wondered where the Mick Adams thread went.

Worried I dreamt it, we did on Friday did'nt we?

Didn't see the Mick Adams thread but he was in large part responsible for the cruelist of cruel blows to Leeds and it's fans one Saturday afternoon in Swinton. The next day Jack Wainwright on Radio Leeds said 'I hope all you Leeds fans have got over your disapointment.' Just about gotten over it now but will never ever forget it. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=519262

Been moved to the virtual terrace for some utterly unfathomable reason. Most irritating.
