that doesn't go for his argument though

No I was merely pointing out that he is far more effective than Kylie Leuluai.

He doesn't miss as many tackles, carries the ball more, busts more tackles, gives fewer penalties and makes far more metres.

Did yuo wee yourself laughing when you posted that or did you keep a straight face?

Dont be stupid. I know its a long time since for Wigan, and you are unlikely to see it any time soon. But in order to get to that GF they needed a full season of superiority to be in that position.

If its' that easy do you think Fekka and WIgan will do it any time soon so you can stop idolising a team that played in a final 15 years ago?

The stats show you to be correct. However, as i've already said, they have totally different roles so the comparison is a non entity.

That's alright then.





How so? When one [url=http://www.slstats.org/p1332/Kylie%20Leuluai.html(Leuluai)[/url started every game in the season you're seeking to compare against another [url=http://www.slstats.org/p726/Iafeta%20Paleaaesina.html(Palea'aesina)[/url who spent most of his time waiting to run against tired opponents?

If it's not a personal question, have you been following the game long?

.........he should receive at least a five minute standing ovation. Nothing less will do.

Best part of sixty years.

That's why they all extract the urine out of me on the Wigan site.

Now you may not believe this but Leeds are my favourite Yorkshire team. I have some great memories from the past from there, Billy Bostons two magnificent 75 yarders in 1957 (I was six years old at the time), Green Vigos hat trick which virtually ended John Atkinsons career, the mission impossible game when we had to play five games in eight days to win the Championship and many many more.

One of my favourite all time tries was scored by Paul Medley when he was at Leeds playing at Central Park. He flew down the Douglas side touchline towards the Kop end and must have beat five men with ppure pace and power.

Leeds are like Wigan in that they are disliked all over Yorkshire, just as Wigan are in Lancashire (they all hate the big boys) and you've IMO always tried to play good open rugby.

On the Feka thing, I'm glad he's playing for us and not you.

That makes two of us so everyone's a winner. Hope it's a good match, could do with one this season and they usually bring the best out of each other.

i too remember the 1957 tries by the great man the 13-11 cup game and the 5-5 1st round cup match at headingley then the 32-7 drubbing few days later at CP .

And on the rest:



Remember all those bar the Boston days. You missed out a few of my favourites though. The Wigan player strike match in '72 and the 38-1 in '79 and 70-0 in '05. Happy days.



Remember it well, a Challenge Cup game, that one and a score from Schofield putting Leeds in command before Wigan's customary demolition of all Leeds' dreams.

Wigan V Leeds is still a monster game in my eyes.

30-14?

Correct, in front of 25,180 at Central Park on St Valentine's Day in 1988.

Not 100% sure, but I think that was my first Leeds away game.

You sure?

I think you're thinking of the game where they all shaved their tashes (inc Cliffy).

I think the Medders try was a league game before Schoey played for us.

I could be wrong though, rare as that is.

Would you like me to confirm it for you?

I'll check if you were on the list.

Yeah, pretty much.

Leeds other try scorer was Peter Tunks and the solitary goal came from David Stephenson. It was the same season as the great Leeds semi final victory over Wigan at Burnden Park in the Regal Trophy, not that it did them much good in the final despite Roy Powell's best efforts and your mate Schoey hitting a post with a drop goal attempt..

Edit: Except I've probably got the wrong Medley try altogether as the CC try wasn't down the Douglas stand side at all.



Just stick to calling people ts, it's what you do best.

I'm almost certain the Medley try was in a league game, it was a great try.

You know, coming from you, I could believe you'd have that list



How long after the JP Final and Widnes game at home was it? As I've said in the past, that Widnes game was my 1st Leeds game.

Oh that Medley try. There were so many to choose from.

JP Final - 9th January 1988
Widnes (H) - 17th January 1988
Wigan (A) - 14th February 1988

I could have mentioned Offiahs 10 tries and the drubbing at Old Trafford, but I was being courteous.



But in all seriousness the Wigan v Leeds games are ones I always look forward to. As I have said on another thread, we'll be in the supporters club (small room) from around 6 p.m tomorrow.

Come and have a chat, we genuinely love and are passionate about our rugby.

No you couldn't you were remembering Leeds V Wigan games at Headingley at that point.

I'd call you a fekkwitt but I've much too respect for you to do that.

Still, I am enjoying my small victory.
