to those that have never read it I can strongly recommend former Wakefield MP, David Hinchliffe's book, "They Walked On Water". It's his own personal account of that day in 1968, and opinions on the match and what occurred. A local playwright produced a play based on the book and it was performed at the Trinity Cats bar a couple of years ago. Brian Lockwood played a part in the play. The book is available on a well-known internet auction site.

The CC might fall victim but I think you’re right that Magic will go. I think we can safely say the Ashes will be scrapped. I can’t see the play offs being so though, they are a huge money maker for the clubs.

New to the forum. First started watching Leeds as a kid in 2004 but after watching the full games on YouTube the last few days, I'm really interested to know which Leeds team everyone rates the highest from the Super League era. I've offered 5 options but feel free to make any other suggestions.

For me it's between the 04-05 team and the 07-09 team, but I'd probably lean towards 07-09.

Thoughts?

I can always remember the last match at CP I was stood right in the middle of the popular stand and opening try where Robinson made a break and Betts finished the move under the posts and the screaming noise nearly blew my ear drums out

Wasn’t it some kind of drinking escapade in Perpignan before the game v London?
I’m sure it was something to do with that game.
You’re right I always rated Ward. Maybe not as an amazing world class prop but as a good solid top end of SL prop who you need as your 2nd or 3rd prop in your squad. Kind of like Ava now.

To counter it slightly they aren't just showing random highlights, they are showing the classic games. There were plenty of low quality error fests in those days as well, as well as plenty of games where they just focused on violence. But there was a lot inventiveness in those days, far more players in motion and players far more willing to look for a pass. Countering again the defending was woeful at times, they can't cope with any sort of angled run and it took sides an age to get back after a break. Читать дальше...

Has anything been said either way whether season ticket holders will be refunded or not if the season isn’t completed in full?

You'd think that if there was a poll of that nature in Hull then a Hull fan/fans would have heard about it, haven't heard anything about it on here except from one man who is convinced he's read it somewhere, just saying like.

Just watching Challenge Cup highlights on the BBC. It confirmed to me how poor todays game is.

When you watch back to back highlights you realise the 10 metre rule, not being allowed a quick play to yourself, video refs and multiple subs have not improved the entertainment value..

Not sure why no relegation is being talked about. Assuming the season does resume, although it will be a revised format what's the reason for no relegation promotion? I would put money on had a certain team been in 3 wins they wouldn't give a toss about teams below them

I don't think the 60 mins will help if they are still having to play twice a week.
Not sure what will do it though.

I wonder what teams would look like if you can't play a player for more than 3 games in a row without a break.

Check out the history of the club in which it's recorded that Les Catalans aimed for 75% of their professional squad to be French to facilitate their role of creating a competitive International side. You really do need to start looking things up yourself, as I say I ain't your librarian, and if you believe that the game will benefit from us persevering with overseas clubs in the 2021 deal then start setting out YOUR evidence for that?

Each day we will give you three clues to the identity of a player who has played in Super League (at some point since 1996). You have to work out who the player is from the clues and submit your guess. There may be more than one correct answer, but you have to get the one that we have sealed in a virtual envelope.

Once the player has been correctly guessed then we will post on the thread, the thread will stay open until he is guessed or everyone loses interest. We’ll keep a running tally of correct guessers. Читать дальше...
