Whoever said Schofield was a flat track bully must be having a laugh. 37 tries in his debut season for Hull, scoring and setting up great tries on the 1984 tour vs Australia aged 19, 4 tries in a test vs New Zealand, captaining an understrength GB team to a 3-0 series over NZ, the 33-10 Melbourne test, etc etc. He underperformed for Leeds but lack of ability was never the problem. The only reason I raised him was as an actual example of a 'once in a generation' player, as that was the term someone (or more than one) has used to describe Walker.

I just dislike the overhyping, because it puts ridiculous pressure on young lads.

As I said when did he put in a serious performance in a cup final or a deciding test against the Aussies - he never stood up to be counted when it really mattered - beating the Kiwis - plenty of GB players have managed that

All the things you have just stated are flat track bullyism - how many medals did he win?

The chances of Leeds losing are pretty remote - on here there is always much more post match comment than pre match - so don't take it personally.

Scoring and setting up tries against Australia is flat track bullying? Four ties in a test? I think your definition of a flat track bully needs checking.

I note that your ability to talk out of the wrong orifice has now progressed to Gotcha standards. Take a bow.

What did do in the 3rd test in 1992 - what he always did when it really mattered - did a Pryce.

talking utter bollox Hall of fame player is a flack track bully. Leeds would have been in a dire state and even in division 2 if we had not signed him. the year before he signed only points difference stopped us getting relegated. and as for the third test in 92, if it was not for his completely dominant show in test 2 if would have been a 3-0 whitewash.

Absolutely spot on. Schofield was almost unplayable in the Second Test at Melbourne. I don’t post very often, but read up on a daily basis, but to call one of the all time greats of the game ‘a flat track bully’ is ridiculous.

He also had a pretty good stint in the NRL. IMHO better than Hanley when he played to his full potential

if we are judging by medals won then josh Walters is a better player

As good as Schoey was, and I was a massive fan, a younger, Wigan Hanley was the best I’ve ever seen grace a RL Park

We got the job done but at a cost with more injuries top performances by Walker,Golding,Lilley,Handley and Cuthbertson, don't know whole be available next week but we can hopefully get a few bodies back before semi's and focus on getting that Challenge cup.MOT!!! ALAW!!!!

some good performances tonight. ealker, golding, handley and cuthbertson outstanding. young oledzeki was class too

Agree with that Tad. Thought Walters did a pretty decent job too and didn't shirk doing the hard yards.
Put Moon to centre and hope Delaney or Ormandroyd can play next week.
Is Jordan Roberts injured or still out on loan?

I thought Mullally carried the ball well, and Ward and Walker were particularly good. The trys we conceded were very poor, but it's difficult to gage the performance overall given the circumstances.

I saw Walters run back towards the play the ball too many times. He’s really not up to SL standard, completely out of his depth.

Lilley looks really composed, good hands, organiser but unfortunately, his running speed is too slow for super league. The only way I can see him making the grade is as a starting hooker. His distribution from dummy half would be excellent, then bring Parcell on

Ablett confirmed to have torn his calf, and Keinhorst confirmed to have a torn hamstring. Parcell should be OK for next week though.

no way, our full back tried to paralyze him. worst tackle i have ever seen in my 92 years of watching netball, i mean rugby league. he should be banned for life. he obviously tried to kill him, he's tackled him, then 'thrown him to the floor' hoping that he snaps his neck, he is a disgrace. chris kendall is a legend, well done mate, so proud of you.

Idiot

Thought Jack Walker was sensational last night. Some people have been critical of him on here recently but all i see is sheer class. He seemed to play a bit wider last night where he got more space and he exploited it to the full. The kid is very special in my opinion.

Ive been critical of Lilley for a long time so its only fair i point out i thought he did a good job for the team last night and is defence was very good i thought.

The red card turned the game but i thought we played some decent attacking stuff with plenty of players in support when breaks was made which is very rare from us these days.

Ferres good lots of game time and looked a wee bit slimmer last night. The more he plays the better he will become (hopefully).

no just no

Both are legends of the game. Schoey had more stand out games against the Aussies is what I mean plus Hanley was playing in a more dominant team

Schoey in his prime was superb but Ellery was a different beast.

Think i saw every game both played for Leeds and to watch Ellery week in week out was very special and lets not forget he was in his 30s and past his best when we got him and he was still the best player ive seen in a Leeds shirt. So jealous of Wigan fans who got to watch him week in and out in his prime.

To say Schoey was better in Australia than Ellery isnt true. Hanley was magnificent for Balmain.

Im not knocking Schoey, i loved him, hes a Hall of Famer all day long and was a truly brilliant player and should still be idolised at Headingley.

If only Schoey had Ellery’s dedication. His performance in the second test against Australia (10-33) is inforgettable

Dedication, mental strength and professionalism Les but dont get me wrong Schoey was truly world class.
