| Did anyone else think it would be worth an 8 point try when Lee Smith slid in legs first into Charnley?
I must admit I was happy to see him in pain not long after, he is an utterly despicable character the way he behaves on the pitch (usually throwing a punch after "winning" a penalty etc) so to see his game shortened was a happy sight.
BTW, I am also a little disappointed that McIlorum had the tenacity to do something similar to Hauraki when he was given a penalty for being held down. We need a rule change which stops this sort of behaviour. At the moment you can only give a scrum against a penalty in this situation, it needs to be a reversed penalty.

Wanna bet? I remember distinctly that time. I guess I've been around a bit longer than you, so you might want to be totally sure of your facts. The best person to ask would be Alf Davies, he's an oracle on rugby of that era. I've done this in the past by the way.
Leeds were the second team to go full time after Wigan, and we were chasing Wigan for a long time without success in that era.

Wigan where very good tonight, considering we had carmont, farrell, prescott and fielden missing not a bad effort. We all know wigan will be up there this year.'"
Yes Wigan were good tonight, Leeds weren't. It means absolutely nothing.
Was just one of those nights tonight for Leeds, like last week was for Wigan.

I'm sure the oracle that is Rogues will happy put you right, from what I remember you lot went a few months before Wigan. Leeds is the one team you can't use the full-time argument as a way of explaining the 6-0.

| Then we will have to disagree, as we are both as sure as each other. Unless Rogues is actually Alf, and he may be, then I'm happy to stick with the word of a person who was involved at the time, and the events as I remember them actually happening.
Whilst the 6-0 is categoric fact, that's far too simplistic a way to measure the success of the two clubs.

We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.

What on earth would the Leeds CEO from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s know about the matter?

You've not met Rogues have you?
The 6-0 was just to put someone right (not a Leeds fan either) who did the Leeds win when it matters against Wigan thing who when put right did the I was just trolling bit to hide their own embarrassment. Bless him.

I think he had 1 good game vs St helens then he was terrible for the rest of his time here..

Clarkes shocking. Aside from his stupid bias (and im a Wigan fan), he's just a crap commentator as well.
Eddie and Stevo are also very poor, just give it to Carney + John Wells. Get the likes of Noble and others rotating alongside them, people who can actually string a decent sentence together.

| A lot of people have been crying out for the top team contests to be televised. To be honest I thought that the one sided nature of last nights contest made the game the worst to view of the four so far. Even Saints and Salford had a long period of competetiveness.
