Always knew he'd come good

He's come of age as a coach this season with a better team, relieving the pressure and he actually looks like he's enjoying things now. I also love the anti rovers comments

Steaming gap toothed turd still makes me giggle

Knocker bumpy is full of eh PJ? Says he never slagged Lenny personally, then says nothing when proved wrong, what a t0sser.

He'd have to be talked about in glowing terms, but for me to be as reveared as AB he would have to back it up and keep backing it up over a few seasons like Arthur did. Though given we only won the title once under Arthur and the Challenge Cup only once that may be harsh. There was far more to aim for in the 80s and with the benefit of hindsight all these years later we greatly under performed in the 80s given the talent we had.

If we loose the CC don't get to Old Trafford and start poorly next year peoples attitudes will change quickly. I think we need to remember how good this season has been regardless of what happens from now.

This is a nail on head comment.

Too many lament to the early 80's when in reality we won 3 trophies of note (League, CC and JPS), yes there were 3 Yorks Cups, but that cannot be considered a major competition.

We also choked badly on many finals (CC - 80, 83, 85), JPS (85), Premiership (81, 82, 83).

At that time we have spent massively on domestic and overseas players yet still never dominated the sport like Wigan did just a few years later.
