Heard today of the sad passing of ex ref John Holdsworth. Yes of course we all remember the semi-final, but came as a shock when I heard. RIP John.

Interesting choices in Littler's leadership group announced today - Ridyard, Whittel & McNally were obvious choices but Meadows and Morgan less so.
Good on them , hope it all works out well.

Ive heard two.
One of them has a rep game to come.
Just the one rep game? Or are you hinting he will be in a World Cup squad?

Maybe we can announce one now his season is over
So he plays for either Featherstone, York or Rochdale. And he's a big name? I wonder..........

Before Christmas I feel sure.

in my opinion a better player than paul was his brother danny,
a brilliant ball player in the brian mctighe mold
when ever he played against oldham he slaughtered us.
but sadly he was very injury prone and a diabetic but a class act.
As good as Danny was he clearly wasn't a patch on his brother.

Good memory AoHaF. Though I thought it was less than 10 minutes from time. In terms of forgiving Mr Holdsworth, he can't possibly have known for sure because it was tight, inconclusive on TV as you say. And there was no get-out of a video ref of course. He had to make a decision on the spot. Just so damn frustrating it went against us. Of course had it been a normal league match, it would have been long forgotten. We all remember it because it meant so much to us.
I've heard it said that if Offiah had scored it, rather than Lordy, he probably would have given it. Perhaps Paul wasn't well enough known within the game, but we know how quick he was, especially over a short distance.
Anyway, it happened and it doesn't take away the fact that Mr Holdsworth was an excellent referee, well respected by players as many have paid tribute to him on social media.
RIP John Holdsworth
