It's like reading rivals.net back in 1999.

Am sure they signed ET twice? When Doug Laughton took over it was all out to dethroning Wigan. He had come close at Widnes and with the money Leeds were throwing at him Doug thought it was christmas every day. He more or less signed all the Widnes team and with that he bought players that were coming to the end of their careers and after one final pay day. Doug and Leeds failed miserably and we just went from strength to strength, quite a costly mistaken and bitter pill for the Leeds board to take at the time.

Failure is something you guys know a lot about i will dedicate that photo to you all.

Hope you like the picture of Shaun Wayne by the way.

Blimey that blokes uglier that Jones Bucannan

Ok lock the thread a wiganer has the last word again, just like always.

but Leeds never got relegated,Leds never cheated the salary cap,Leeds are a honest club wiggin are not.LEEDS are and have always been the aristocrats of rugby league.
now got to bed you silly bugger.

But what of it? 1st time as a young unknown replacement the 2nd time because he missed out on Kangaroo Tour selection and he came to try and prove the selectors wrong, which they weren't at that time in any case. Good fortune for Leeds but both times for a short mid-season stint before he had gained an Australian cap. Not a big signing, not even a proper signing really, more like a player gaining experience on a working holiday during his close season back home.




More or less? That would be less than - Alan Tait, Richie Eyres, Esene Faimalo, Harvey Howard and Mike O'Neill at various stages of their careers and all for a combined total less than Wigan paid Widnes for one player.

As for comparative costs. One club managed to keep hold of their world famous ancestral home while Wigan were evicted from and forced to sacrifice theirs.

With an empty trophy cabinet and more bitterness than any other club in rugby league. Nite nite chat tomorrow

you guys certainly know how to have fun!....has the 'ickle pie gone to bed?..bless him...he sleeps with both his fingers wedged into his own eyes.

A player Dougie almost signed but thats another sore subject.

Laughton did sign him.

I thought you'd gone to bed anyway to re-charge your batteries?

'WE ARE BACK'



Back from where, Wembley with your tail between your legs
OR
Being a mid table club with an average coach and an old squad.

At first for Widnes but not later for Leeds.

Doug Laughton always had a very astute eye for Union talent that could (and usually did) make an excellent fist of it in Rugby League.

You didn't mention a club when you said



Seriously. I know you can do better than this.

This maybe one of the funniest posts I have ever seen on RL Fans! Not enough "icon_lol.gif" can do it justice!

There might have been a reason there wasn't many red/white supporters on that Friday night

Dear me!

I do apologise for CentralParkForever, does seem to be going a little over the top, but it is just one silly Wigan fan on here, so do ignore him. He does seem to have attracted a lot of similar Leeds fans though.

If you have read my earlier posts its just banter they know it and so do I. Everything I have written is simply facts, nothing silly has been witten,you dont need to apologise for me Coventry Warrior.

We'll leave the apologies to the mental health board

Shanter.


True story.

sorry my mistake Coventry warrior, bedtime and old memory an all that, was thinking of another big Leeds win at the JJB around that time, would have to did out old programs, maybe someone else can remember occasion?

Anyhow this thread is pointless, centralparkforever just seems to be a wind up troll, ......and I bit, my bad..

True dat.

The banter I get, your vague recollection of 'the facts' are what I take exception to.

Obviously the 70-0 was in a game at Headingley 18th June 2005 and Leeds did also win the return fixture at the JJB that season (38-14) but if it's the biggest Leeds win at that ground you're seeking then it's 22nd August 2008 (52-16)

Not sure which game but I guess it's one of the three.

I only thought it was funny because I was at Headingley that day we got spanked and I certainly haven't managed to forget about it! I was just lucky enough that I didn't go to the Saints 75-0 defeat too!
