COYB's

This was 1986 not 1996. Leigh were already 70 or 80+ points up when Keighley's then player coach Peter Roe decided to kick a penalty goal!

I saw a Peter Roe coached Barrow team bore everyone stupid at Skolars a few years back. The had a brilliant kicker and kicked everything from about 10 yards into their own half and closer. Deadly dull to watch but very effective.
