Leeds' record when facing Wigan in any era (including this one) isn't anything for Loiners to crow about.

except when it matters mate

Except most of the times it matters, correct.

You mean like all through the late 80s to late 90s when it mattered? The CC in 07 when it mattered? The playoffs in 03 when it mattered?

Wigan have had the better of Leeds 'when it mattered' throughout history.

They probably have had the better against all the RL clubs when it mattered.

Definitely.

The most successful club in British RL

of course they are. considering they were the only fully pro side for years and cherry picked the best players it would have been a shock if they hadn't dominated.

Not so hot now it is a more level playing field ....

it would be interesting to compare success of all SL clubs since the salary cap came into play

And if you exclud those clubs who have been found guilty of cheating the cap it would be easy to see who topped the table of achievment.

So they should have the accolade taken away from them because of their forward thinking?

Take away their period of FT v PT and they are still more successful than Leeds (who were pretty much full time anyway from the late 80s onwards) and the rest historically.

BTW, Leeds were also full time when Wigan beat us 70-6 and 69-12 in the playoffs.

course they shouldn't,they were a class side.
however we can all point to good times in our history.
the salary cap has evened things up and they haven't done too well since it came in. coming close in final eliminators isn't good enough.most teams have lost in them

Fair comments

There is a school of thought that suggests that Wigan were also bending the old RFL bye-laws at the time they first went fully pro, as it had been a traditional rule that no player shall earn their living from the game.

The question is (and I haven't checked this out using the old copies in the library in Leeds) when the law was dropped, by whom and were Wigan already fully pro at the time ?

My two lowest points while watching Leeds.

Leeds went full time pro before Wigan did.

Exactly leeds were pro before wigan!!

Not as funny as Manly showing you how to play rugby tonight

Well it's a long time since you had the chance to play in games like this and that won't be changing anytime soon so it's no surprise your an adopted aussie!
