His interpretation was very SL orientated, giving the defending team no latitude to work the tackled player on the floor.
Exactly, I only saw his 1st half performance and I thought he was good. Aparently he made a few bad calls in the 2nd though.
Looking at the article on the Rhinos website listing the games we have played in our history at Elland Road, I was certain we had played Hunslet there but obviously we haven't.
I remember us playing a league game at Headingley against them in the 80's but obviously not whilst they were playing at Elland Road.
Anyone know (TVOC) where Hunslet played any home games against Leeds since 1980?

We have, although not as the Rhinos.
The 1938(?) Championship Final between Hunslet and Leeds was played at Elland Road.
IIRC Hunslet became tenants at Elland Road when the stadium was bought by the council (1984/5?). I'm not sure they've been in the same division as Leeds at any point since then?

I attended a Leeds v Hunslet game at Elland Road in 1987 IIRC.

I realise it was pre-SL but I definitely remember playing Hunslet at Headingley as some of their supporters were sitting by us and shouting at the Leeds players that they were losing ground, to which a Leeds supporter replied "You lost yours years ago".

That could have been a Yorkshire Cup game, which I believe is the last time we played them in a competitive game.
I know we won that game after a struggle, and ended up signing Jimmy Lowes on the strength of his performance at scrum-half. Shortly after Open Rugby ran an article saying what a strange decision it was to sign him, but not half as strange as Laughton's decision to play him at hooker. Yeah, really stupid that, he'd never have made a hooker, would he?

No he won't. Regards, Dean Bell.
