Totally agree RC, he was the past player I was referring to, full of himself and full of.....

Do us a favour and get back in your flower garden Rupert.

You know what slazengers are famous for, don't you..........BALLS!!!!!!!!

We had ups and downs over the following years.
Got to challenge Cup Semi but were narrowly beaten by Cas.

The change might have had something to do with selling Neil Fox.
Stupid decision. He came back but it was bound to affect the team.

On the bc app on my phone I got a preview of this doco (obviously not shown over here on tele )
its the first time I have seen the missed kick - WOW ! How did he miss that.

ps the Pen Try was a joke and it should never of got to that kick

I watched it and really enjoyed it, what a club we once were and those who remember it well you don’t know how luck you are. I’m not a young man I’m in my mid fifties and I’m to young to remember it all so shows how long ago it all was.

Needs to change and I think the team and the club know it. Whether they are capable I don’t know. They certainly have time to think at the moment.

The only bit I didn’t like was when the Trinity lad (forgot name) was telling Leeds lad that he must know that he didn’t deserve his winners medal. That was unfair and in sportsmanlike. I know the point he was trying to make but that individual did earn that medal end of. Whatever went wrong and it’s clear to see it did it wasn’t the Leeds players faults.

Kind of sums up what’s been wrong with Trinity ever since. This hard done by we are owed attitude, well we are not.

In recent times we’ve suffered from being a small club but in 1968 we were the giants not Leeds. No conspiracy just a very bad day at the office especially for one poor lad but that’s sport.

We need to move on, the Watersplash is not just ancient history it’s the kiind of history you shouldn’t dwell on its counter productive.

Instead remember the 3 CCups and 2 titles we did win in that glorious decade.

Fair points from your perspective, Vasty, but if you happened to be around at the time and a Trinity fan into the bargain, it's easier said than done. To reflect the times, the whole city was plunged into a depression. That's how much it meant. Some conspiracies are unfounded, others have elements of truth behind them. The "Watersplash" final fits into the latter category, I'm afraid.

That I’m not denying but it’s time to forget. Whilst I get what the Trinity player meant he did kind of rubbish the Leeds players achievement and to me that was unfair. It was probably the highlight of his career, in the same way Don Fox should not be remembered for slipping the Leeds team should not be tainted by a bad ref, they still played well.

Just had a look on the Leeds board and find it strange that no comments have been made. You can look at that game however you like but my impression is we were robbed and it took years for the club to get over it.
Many club goes through periods that are concidered a golden age and then have nothing for years the more recent that spring to mind are Widnes and Bradford .
Unfortunatly the game in more recent years have been dominated by 3 or 4 clubs who manage to keep the momentum going leaving all others to have an occasional victory and something to brag about.
My wush is that Trinity can manage to enter in to that winning bracket but i honestly live in hope along with supporteds of the majority of clubs..
It used to be great to attend matches in the Cc , players trophy and the flood light cup but those days are long gone

Just spoke to my dad about the years after 68 he says the lose rocked the whole foundation of the club, players left who were the spine of team then it went into freefall ,agree redscat the whole city was in depression ,in my dads words "it still bloody hurts"

It doesn’t register with Leeds fans for two very good reasons. One they won and history is written by the victors. Two they have won it many times since.

Trinity win it this year, if this year ever happens and you’ll soon forget it and we move on. Would be strangely Trinity to break our losing streak in a plague year.

This bit isn't quite true. Leeds were a big club.
They finished top of the league and won the challenge cup this year.
They followed but with the Championship the year after.
All their back line were internationals including a former British Lion at fullback.
