Its awhile since Hull arguably the best .I think if they could go into another successful era they could fill their stadium

Well

His father in law Andrew Thirkill

I still admire and respect Tony Smith as a Leeds supporter I dont have to reason why .however getting 50 plus points scored against you week after week and no change ,no improvement. Are the players that bad that they couldn't keep the scores down ?

And the next one right in here please

Good point . We have seen similar before at Leeds during Wigan dominance in 80s early 90s signing so called stars and club goes bust

Take all the Smith in Smith out Smith in comments with pinch of salt very interesting to see how things are progressing with both teams . Result ? I dont know

I would like to say Bramley to resurrect the club ,but I realise that's not on since LCC destroyed the village and it lost its identity. Hunslet still going ,but similar happened to them . Halifax is still a RL town . I think Halifax

I'm not comfortable about losing our identity and " heritage " NRL? We gave them the game in 1908 .phew just saved my bacon with that correction

This . I dont like it at all

That must have been a rare Leeds good performance at boulevard in those day

My first boyhood idol rest well

Not complaining about the publicity Our game is getting, but I'm getting a feeling that NRL is being talked about like NFL .Are we soon going to be owned by the Australian competition and a franchise of the NRL ? Will the new American fans enthusing about our sport be saying NRL is also played in more countries than NFL. Australia has been successful in taking their game to many other countries.

I thought it was a great game both teams put their bodies on the line . Last ditch immense tackling very exciting game . I do with the tribal comments about the ref and just because its Wigan.

Great game well done Wigan. Some dodgy calls on both sides .

Hope Wigan . There I've said ahd mean it

Leeds will win this .I'm more Interested in how they perform

I think Leeds Rlfc are in the process of commissioning a statue of that iconic image of Sinfield and Rob Burrow embracing each other .

As a little lad in 1950s not many had TVs and not many had one.not on our estate any way soccer was only on on CUPFINAL day . Rugby league was the only game in town in west Leeds beyond Armley from Bramley over the river Kirkstall Burley road area meanwood woodhouse etc .only thing about football I'd knew about was John Charles going to Juventus etc . Even lads who attended football schools still played RL in streets and the park Headingley just up the Hill Barley Mow up the other hill . We talked about Boston , Bevan ,Jones Stivvy, I remember sitting on the straw in 1957 Leeds 13 Wigan 11 38000 attendance Boston scoring 2 length of field tries . Times change but cherish the memories

It will be interesting to see the attendance for the Leeds wire game if there is a big difference to the other two . I will see two games on the Saturday. If Leeds are doing well and I say that advisedly it could be a bumper crowd and same goes for Wire too .

You've not said where you come from Mush

Well I'm soon going to take the 25 minute bus ride Into town have coffee and bite in Trinity hear all the different regional accents commenting about how much safer they feel than in those other cities to the west and how they are so glad they moved to this fine city .

I love the Leigh folk since 1971 and I know your comment was tongue in cheek, but leigh is closer to everything in the town .I think Bramley station is closer to ER

Yes some of them only come to drunkenly do that silly Mexican wave.

The only Leeds United fans who arent aware of RL are the out of Towners and there are many of them ,but most out and out football fans are descended from Hunslet or Leeds Rl and a bit Bramley.
