Yeah right because he took over probably the worst squad in SL and he's just coached them to a massive win against wigan. He's obviously useless and it's purely a coincidence

I'll take any win at Headingley! Never seen us win there... About time that changed (hopefully).

He was released for being crap, went to a club with a worse squad (on paper at least) who couldn't buy a win, and has completely turned them around - culminating in thrashing Wigan 62-0. This at a club who were nailed on for relegation according to just about every pundit just a few weeks ago.
And this doesn't suggest to you that the problems at Rovers might not have been with the coach after all?
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

It was and you'd need to go back another twenty years for a similar big win, a 35-18 success in April 1986. Rich pickings there in the early 80s but few and far between since.
I know for sure our squad will not be thinking or training this week with any previous performances in mind, don't like Leeds never have, I'm enjoying this season better then any previous SL era.

Great memories of 2001 4 tries two by Tony Smith and a solitary but great goal from Matty Crowther Great game with the water running out of our shoes!!!
Whilst 2006 saw Cookie get 8 goals plus that brilliant 70 yard try by Nathan Blacklock running towards the Hull fans down the wing to see off a Leeds comeback, I can see that one now; it was the night it rained beer!!!
