What a cracking final the Leeds v Saints match was.
Tough players and a lot of skill onshow.

In fact I'd happily lose some of the speed in the game today to get back some of the skill we are sometimes missing.

Some great skill... I thought Steve Pitchford for Leeds had a top game

Thoroughly enjoyed tonight programmes, well done to the BBC.

Lest I forget, Honest Joe gets the award for prat of the year.

Stevie Pitchford was a good forward unfortunately he played for the Loiners........George Nicholls had a good game for Saints.........
Note to the pimps at Sky aka eddie and steveo...... Do you remember we actually had a game pre SL..........

how sad that eddie spent his last years in that victorian style mental institute,

his thoughts and ideals for the game were way ahead of his time, the game was better off for the services of eddie.

hope honest joe and peawapp have changed there minds

WHAT A SUPER FINAL THE 78 GAME WAS, that was the year i started watching my beloved leigh, not watched the eddie waring doc yet, but have sky+ so will watch it later, excellent.

I'm, glad that most of you enjoyed it Gullible people that you are, i of course refused to have it on my telly,when they show the documentary " another bloody sunday" the one from the seventies about Doncasters long losing run which the finally ended by disposing of piggy Fletchers Huyton I shall be an avid watcher, now that's what you call a documentary

If people had watched the documentary it was said on there that Wareing was either hated or loved, personally I couldnt stand his commentaries, but after watching the documentary now know why they were so bad, and the game after just about summed it up his commentary on it was appalling, but it seems as though that was the start of his dementia problems.
We have a similiar scenario with Robbie Paul he gets us more TV time than we have ever got yet some can't see past his on the field time, even though he has only just recovered from major surgery and has been carrying a wrist injury for months.
So what if Peawap didnt watch the documentary and slagged Eddie Wareing off, thats life and Peawaps entitled to his opinion just like us all.
And yes I enjoyed the documentary, the game, the second documentary and the film.
EW may have been a 'joke' to some but since he went we get sod all mention on terrestial TV.

Yellow paint, Spack.

I thought the documentary on EW was very good. I didn't know too much about him but now I do. Havn't watched the second documentary yet but I enjoyed the final. Very, very tough players with a large amount of skill, very enjoyable. I fell asleep watching This Sporting Life but I intend to watch it all another time.

I thought the doc about Eddie W was excellent a true visionary of RL and did hell of a lot
to promote RL in his time with the BBC watching the final 10 mins or so was very sad
it made a lot of sense re Eddies last year commentating on the beeb......
Love him or hate him Eddie W was a true legend of RL and deserves respect from everyone for his achievments in the game, without Eddies involvment in game shows ect ect RL would never have had so much exposure in the media... Top Man. Like it said at the end when he went to his final game at Headingley with his son and was spotted by the crowd who all stood up and gave him a massive applause which brought him to tears....
My fav saying of Eddie was when Leigh played in the 71 final and he said the scoreboard
is all lite up with eeeeeeeelecric lights
Come on BBC lets have more of the same !!!!!!!!!!!!
