Lees is a great player. Wouldn’t have been ahead of Amone or Ese Ese in my head but not far behind.

A bloke who’s lost his starting job to Sam Powell getting the hookers spot is strange. O’Neill surely was a shoe in and no hooker in the league has had a better game than Ipape last Friday.

Was the away game to Bradford that we made the great comeback in, in the same season, as my memory is shot but it is one of the games that really stands out to me. We were 30(ish) points down at half time and I remember chatting with family and saying, well they scored 30 points in one half so no reason we couldn't in the second half, then Mark Calderwood scored a brace of tries and we pipped them at the end, the atmosphere that day was electric, the atmosphere in the games when we were on a roll was the best it has ever been at the stadium.

Amazing game.

[quote="MattyB":347k0hwa]I agree the atmosphere and increase in attendances were incredible as each game came and went. Not sure any other team before or since has had such an instance of this. I think the worst I felt personally (more so than the 75-0 / 70-0 fortnight) was Wakefield away where Richards 'scored' in the final seconds which was ruled out. At that point I thought we were gone. The Wire home win out of nothing gave us the smallest glint of hope, I think we struggled a win v Hudds with a late Danny Orr try under the sticks. One of the reasons I can only slightly recall certain events is that I won't rewatch anything of that season as it still sends shudders. [/quote:347k0hwa] I remember the Wakefield debacle with Pat not being awarded the try ,I also thought we were done after that but fairplay, things changed and our fans backed the team even more after that.

[quote="Warrior Winger":2tv1ggj7]Told you my memory was shot [/quote:2tv1ggj7] Same here with the 75-0 & 70-0 defeats, everything is merged into one over a miserable few years. Thank god for better years from then on.
