The Mission Impossible season was a staggering achievement by almost any standards. Even for a really good team and coach, to win so many vital games in such a short period of time beggared belief.

If Man U or Liverpool had ever pulled a stunt like that, it would have been trumpeted from the rooftops for years.

It was exactly as it said. Mission impossible. Still fascinates me to this day how that was achieved. Denis Betts was immense in that run of games. The try he scored at Leeds on the final day was pure commitment to the cause.

No idea, it's subjective and before my time so I'm not going to work it out. 80% is still a bloody good record. Maguire shows up well, 76% with a salary cap to contend with in the middle of Leeds dominance.

Amazed at how high the figures for West (who was badly treated by the club in the end) and Gregory who started off looking like he was going to be a top coach such a shame it couldn't continue, and how bad the figures went for Betts then especially Millward.

very much so, fantastic

true, but in the monie era in big games there werent many lost, lost a few regal trophies, and prems but not much else. Similar could be said for Wane, seemed to be a big game coach, always seemed to turn up even if we lost.

What, no Graham Lowe who between 1986-1989 was the first overseas Coach appointed by the Gang of Four and laid the foundation for the success of John Monie who during his time as Coach between 1989 and 1993 had some of the best players ever to play for the club and the of winning so many trophies in a period which many supporters regard as one of the greatest in the history of the club.

All hail the gang of four

wasnt that the year the englan ru team won bbc s. p. o. t. y after drawing with nz?

They made the WC final in 91 as well

Possibly, but you only have to look at the way Johnny Wilkinson's status as some kind of legendary megastar has been cemented by a drop-goal to see how the Union boys don't have to do much to win praise.
