Rambo Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 It was good to watch and great to see it has been put on YouTube for future supporters to enjoy. Some of the set moves from Dewsbury were a joy to watch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therein73 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 It's interesting to see how quick the PTB's took place as compared to today, and how quickly the scrums came together.... Also, can you imagine the rave reviews Trevor Lowe would have got for the amount of offloads he did... But there again, props played for 80 minutes then. Great team, great times !!!

Blind side johnny Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 The ref wasn't getting constant abuse either. How many knock-ons at the ptb did you see, and were you bothered? Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE P Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 It was great to see this again. Some of the set moves that side came up with were outrageous indeed. It would be easy to think that any side could develop such moves, until you remember just how many really clever footballers there were in that side. Both Stivvies for a start, but then both half backs too. I always thought Alan Agar was a bit of an unsung hero in that side. John Clark was as smart a centre as you could find and, to top that, over half of the pack besides Mick Stephenson were ball handlers, namely John Bates, Jeff Grayshon and Trevor Lowe. Not to take anything away from Beverly or Whittington, who added such steel to the forwards, neither ever taking a backward step. It was strange that Eddie Waring mentioned umpteen times that Nigel and Mick were 'no relation' but I never heard him say that John and Alan Bates were brothers, or did I miss it. Thanks to the club for making this memory available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

distantdog Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Really enjoyed that, and great to see some of my views on some of those players proven. Great kicking game from the half backs and what a player Mick Stephenson was. He would not look out of place in today's game. All the better for beating a pretty good Leeds team too.
