You beat me to it, it was 1986. One of Des Drummond's last games for Leigh. One thing in common with the 1986 92-2 win and today's game is that I missed both. The children insisted on being brought to Jodrell Bank today. Despite missing the historic victory we're clued up on all things radio astronomy.

Only just occurred to Bongser that we are now Centurions in two senses! Leigh's tweet with sound of that last gasp try should be pinned! Can't stop watching it. Don't ever want to stop watching it - length of the field through ten pairs of hands with LSV screaming for blood!

Just a perfect day.

Sexy rugby....at last

A little like the "Were you there?" fanzine where hundreds of people claim to have been there when the official attendance was about a dozen (Bury, Rochdale, Halifax? Can't recall). There will be ten thousand Leythers claiming to have been there.

This, slightly modified, from Shakespeare's "Henry V":

"And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall count themselves accursed they were not there.
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That cheered with us 'pon Mary's day."

100% I have seen the steady decline of the quality of rugby in SL over the past 10 years , comparing them to the Wigan/Widnes teams in the late 80's early 90s , the game just isn't played the same anymore , we have gone way too one dimensional and all about %, as poor and wounded as York were on Sunday the Leigh team looked fit , players running at gaps hitting the ball at speed and the support play was out of this world .

I get the impression most SL coaches would be happy with their completion rates being 100% even if the lost 30 nil .

Whether or not we can get past the million pound game I don't know , its going to be hard and some of the players will be doing themselves out of a job if they do.
