Agreed on this first point, I'd just like to see him stand up for himself against the tougher opponents when it gets nasty, like it did at the Magic Weekend.

I think JP still has plenty to offer, but do think it's important he's rested more frequently, to prevent the frustration that evidently came out last night and could've cost us the game!

Just checked Wikipedia, I'd completely forgotten about him playing for Wigan then coaching Hull KR

Type Leeds 26 vs widnes 12 (1989) into the tube and it should refresh your memory. A bad one.

Some great stuff on that. Like how police walked over in middle of biff. Just think what bans would be handed out now for some of those incidents?

There's a general opinion that the game now is much faster than 'back in day'. Against that, about 25 years ago, the players look quick, quick distribution etc. The game doesn't look any different in it's purest form (omitting fashion changes, hair cuts etc).

I remember Doug Laughton was the Widnes coach at the time and he refused to appear with Moriarty at the disciplinary it was so bad.

Hughie Waddell was teetotal which must have endeared him to the Stoggies and Town Hall Tavern cliques at Leeds in thosedays

Well I never knew that, nice one.
