I didn't like the fashion or the music.



I felt guilty including the antipodeans as I didn't watch them week in week out but I saw them in guest stints here, on VHS and, more importantly on Kangaroo Tours.

Leeds' hero on his way to discuss tactics with the wannabee Wakefield number six.







The Wakefield wannabee was later sent off and vowed never to return to this country. Boo hoo.

Didn't Wakefield have two players sent off in that game tvoc?

Is that Colin Maskill wearing the 9 jersey for Wakefield?

What a Wally.

Correct. The first was another Australian Lindsay Gill for a late off the ball tackle on Steve Martin (Gill had already spent 10 in the sin bin after a ruck with Roy Dickinson) and Lewis followed him immediately for using foul and abusive language at the referee and touch judge. It wasn't his first offence either having had a running battle with Peter Massey for most of the afternoon.







One and the same.

IIRC the game ended 20-19, although I probably don't.

Not that one - Leeds 26 - 16 Wakefield



Leeds:

Tries: Webb (2), Holmes, Hague

Goals: Dick (3), Prendiville (2)



Wakefield:

Try: Adams

Goals: Maskill (6)

Boy did he go on to bigger and better things...

Perhaps but after Planes Trains and Automobiles I think he went downhill.

Joking aside, probably the best defensive halfback I can recall seeing at that time. Great low tackling technique, lead to him getting a lot of head wounds from studs IIRC.

His best game for Leeds (IMO) was probably down at Craven Cottage against the original Fulham outfit in the 83/4 season where incidentally he wore a huge head bandage throughout. Two great tries IIRC.

no particular order. if i was pushed i would have hanley at the top

Of all teams/countries since c. 1982:



Brett Kenny at the top, followed by some four in some order from Lewis, Sterling, Clyde, Ettingshausen, Fittler, Lockyer, Johns.



Top 5 Leeds players in same period (not necessarily in order):



Hanley, Ettingshausen, Holmes, Lauitiiti, Peacock.

Did someone mention Keith Mumby?

Depends whether he had his contacts in

Players I have seen properly since I was old enough to understand the game





Farrell

Johns

Lockyer

Inglis

Radlinski



Slightly in favour of Wigan but ahhh well. Your more likely to pick players you personally like/have seen more of.

Lewis Jones



Arthur Clues



Ellery Hanley



Brad Clyde

I think that's the one time a actually wet myself laughing. A truly great sporting moment.

You wetting yourself has to be up there but John Holmes' one handed 'Dan Marino' pass to Atky in '73 is probably mine.
