It's not much remembered as Leeds kept it to themselves so opposition players didn't target him but Sinfield played through the back end of the 2010 season with a fractured cheekbone and eye socket -

According to that article Brent Webb also picked up a "similar injury" in the final play off game vs Wigan (great detailed reporting as ever YEP). With all that and McGuire and Peacock already out it's not really a surprise 2010 was the year off from what would otherwise have been six in a row. |

There is no nostalgic longing for the return of the high shot, late or otherwise, from me. |

I suspect he meant good memories as in "well remembered" |

The game in the late 80s early 90s was much dirtier than now but it had been cleaned up a fair bit from 88-89 when high tackles were properly outlawed with longer suspensions.
I remember we bought Medley and had designs of playing him in the centres. He played on the wing for us on the odd occasion.
Agree that he and Powell would've enjoyed playing now.

Nor from me. Merely reflecting upon a type of injury that has thankfully become far less common. |

Think I was referring to memories of Paul Medley running flat out though I could certainly have made that clearer, it seems  |

Going back to the wingers. I don't think I don't think we can underestimate the importance of the change to the corner post rule. As lethal as Makinson, Johnstone and Eden are, a large proportion of their trys wouldn't have counted a decade ago.

Medley was an excellent player but lacked "heart, application etc". Another one was Simon Haughton who could/should have been one of the best second row forwards in the world, he too lacked the aggression of say a Gareth Hock, now what a player that would have been.

Simon Haughton could have gone down as GOAT if he'd had the right mindset. What ever happened to him? |

That was brilliant. I wonder if more wingers and centres will follow suit on Makinson, he does this action most times when scoring in the corner. |

It was. Goodwin's timing and athleticism was even better than Makinson's. |

Why is it rubbish, facts are there for all to see, he never really became the player he should have been, and despite his natural abilities pace and power became a just above average player. |

He had plenty of heart and application. What he didn’t have was mongrel or consistency in defence. He tried to put the big hit in and often missed completely. We all know Reilly didn’t rate him but I think that has coloured a lot of judgement and made people think he was some sort of softy, he certainly wasn’t.

He also became a totally different player at the bulls - far bigger than at Leeds and much less dynamic. That would probably have happened wherever he went.
Haughton was a slightly better version of Andy Hay.

I don't know what happened with Andy hay. He is one of the best prospects I've seen at Cas. A natural loose forward who was quick enough for the three quarters, with a great attitude. He seemed to lose it, was shipped out to Sheffield, then to Leeds where he suddenly thought he was a hard man under Graham Murray. I never rated him after that. |

Old Handbrake? I remember the popular ditty from the South Stand, "Andy, Andy Hay, he gets the ball and does F*** all, Andy, Andy Hay." |

Apart from score some long range tries Haughton was pretty poor. Nowhere near the best second rows of his time.

That depends. If the category was 'Looking like Joe Longthorne' he was the best second rower ever. |

Andy Hay is one of the biggest "Shirt Pullers " that I have ever seen on a Rugby League field as he was a complete turnstile in defence'
It's a good job that whilst he was at Leeds that he had these guys to do the tough stuff and also his tackling too
McDermott, Newton, Fleary, Morley, Farrell & Glanville |
