Quote ="tvoc"Leeds started the game with Innes and Lowes at half-back (Schofield, Hanley and Molloy were away on International duty) with Holroyd and Harland on the bench. Holroyd was introduced during the half-time break replacing Fallon but he went straight into the stand-off position with Innes moving back in to the centre with Irving moving on to Fallon's wing. Leeds were winning at half-time but it was a scrappy, disjointed performance to that point. Holroyd would go on to score two and create two more and the resemblance to Schofield was immediately apparent, right down to the attitude away from the pitch.
Laughton admitting to having to 'carpet him' a couple of times already before he even got around to making his debut but he reminded him of a young Tony Myler and that was high praise indeed.
Six minutes into the 2nd half Fallon was back out there replacing Iro who had gone down with an ankle injury that would keep him out of the CC Semi-Final V Widnes the following week. That was the game Goulding was waxing lyrical about on SL Supermen the other week - and one in the eye for his former team and boss.
Usual position lads - behind the posts.
Before the season was out it would be Schofield being carpeted by Laughton for breaches of club discipline and receiving a two week club ban.'"

| On the way to that game, our coach got stuck in horrendous traffic and we got in about ten minutes prior to kick off. It just had a wrong feeling all day. On the coach, as we were in the jam, the radio had ''Once In A lifetime' by Talking Heads playing. It's lyrics 'same as it ever was....same as it ever was' were strangley prophetic.

Simon Irving, Schoey, Paul Anderson, Gary Mercer, Mike O'Neill, Jimmy Lowes. You can also (part) see Ellery (behind Mercer), Phil Hassan? (behind Lowes) and Jim Fallon (behind Hassan).
What do I win?'"
My respect. Hassan didn't play (indeed didn't make his debut until the following season) so he's ruled out. Looking at the team that did play I'll go with Craig Innes being the owner of the barnet behind Lowes. I wouldn't even hazard a guess at the player behind him and I'm looking at the original (newspaper original that is) image.
Without having already identified the game I was tempted to ask: which ground ? (Noticing there is a fairly large clue to be found between Schofield and Anderson.)
Quote ="craigizzard"*shudders*'"
Indeed and as the report states, 'bitching at each other behind the sticks' is never a particularly good look.

If it was the Regal Trophy then it was 1992 in a 24-0 defeat against Widnes.
Love a 90's RL thread, I do

| The game has been identified already (I refer you all to craigizzard's post above.)
As Kurt Sorenson said in the piece in the Independent ''They wanted to win; we had to win.' And boy did it show.

| I wouldn't argue with Kurt Sorensen over the phone, never mind in person. We went on to sign 3 of that Widnes pack, shame they never looked the same for us as they did for them...

| Hulme, who was arguably the best of the three at Leeds.

Just to clear this little mess up, Esene Faimalo was still at Widnes but he didn't play in that semi final.
Quote ="batleyrhino"Hulme, who was arguably the best of the three at Leeds.'"
David Hulme was indeed one of the three you alluded to earlier - along with Richie Eyres and Harvey Howard.
David Hulme played an important role in 1996 helping greatly to preserve a sulking Leeds club's top flight status but it was a cameo Leeds career compared to the other ex-Widnes fellas. He was soon back over the Penines extolling his charges to 'smash these soft Yorkshire f**kers.'

| Spot on as usual tvoc. I always had time for Hulme, clever player and his commitment didn't change subject to the shirt he was wearing. His brother was a decent player too, and they were both as hard as nails, something that you don't seem to be able to refer to that many of today's players as...

He ended up all over the place after his Headingley stint. A bit at Western Suburbs, Brisbane (picking up a Championship), a bit at Wigan (played in a GF with them), a bit at Bradford and a bit at Hull KR before finally becoming their coach - briefly ?

| The radio show he used to do on Sunday mornings with Neil Harmon was sometimes very funny. I remember one where they spent the whole time pretending they were pilots flying a plane, just so they could crowbar in gags about Dave Watson being high on drugs.

| Eyres scored a double on his debut IIRC, and he could have been an absolutely great player for Leeds. One of those players who have everything physically for their position but seemingly no heart.
I'm trying to remember which Aussie player (whose biograhy I scanned) claimed the Hulme brothers were amongst the dirtiest players he ever faced.

| BTW, it says a lot about the current sad state of SL backs when you could virtually pick the entire Widnes backline from that day for England, and they were way behind Wigan as a group. Tait, Fallon and Schofield of Leeds would also be ahead of anyone today.

| Anybody that thinks individual player contracts in League are a bad thing have David Hulme to thank (in part) for their introduction. He argued to anyone who would listen that while clearly it's a team game not all players within a team are equal indeed some deserved to be more equal than others.
He won that argument as the game moved away from the basic pay structure (as described in the betting scandal thread) to the one we see today with high profile players scooping up the lions share and leaving the scraps for the younger lads to fight over especially so now that we're also in a salary capped period for the game.
