E' lad I remembers when Leigh Beat Leeds at Wembley. Day when Eddie Warring was forced to eat crow and actually clammed up when his beloved Leeds fell to Murphy and his warriors! As max B would say, I was their I was their. SInce leigh is no longer in it I guess the arch rivals Wigan are next best!

[LooseBowels]

^ I reckon you've had a few to many pints of mild there me old lobby-gobbling mate.

Have a proper look and you will see that the Leigh Centurians are still in the competition, and have been drawn at home to the Rochdale Hornets.


So the Leigh lobby-gobblers play the Rochdale cowboys

[Sailing into trouble]

Ya but Leigh or Leeth as wi like tu bi known as unfortunately are no longer as good as the big boys. I am afraid Mike Harding and his Rochdale Cowboys could do us real harm!

You can't argue with that

[Bobcock]

Nope, I watch enough League to know what it's about.....and it's about the NRL.

I notice you didn't attempt to address that comment.

Because you can't argue with that!

[LooseBowels]

Week in week out no UK team would make the playoffs in the NRL.

Amazing sporting occasion if you can have yur choice of seats this close to the event.....555555

Funniest thread on Teak Door

[reinvented]

bit harsh bob
i agree the aussie lads are better; but they are the best in both codes
having played both codes; leauge is a lot harder
union has improved incredibly over the last 15 years but still less brutal to watch than leauge which imo produces better athletes
far from shite
oh leigh is grim too

[reinvented]

and why bother going to wmbley for a distinctly northern game?

[Bobcock]

but they are the best in both codes

5555555555555..... no really.....55555555555555

[reinvented]

seems you have a bit of one eyed bigotry there bob
could many union players stand up in the aussie rugby leauge competitions?
(not suggesting aussie union players were better than their british compatriots if that is what you thought?)

[Bobcock]

It's what I thought cos it's what you said.

As for Union players who can stand up to League, Bateman, Quinnell, Gibbs, Jiffy all spring to mind.

[reinvented]

though the conversion of leauge players to union may have brought greater results
edwards, robinson, et al?
still waiting for the leauge is shit justification?

Bateman, Quinnell, Gibbs, Jiffy

genuine question; how many of these played in the aussie leauge which was the question?
quinnel played in uk didnt he?
hope thats clear enough for you

[reinvented]

oh
had the pleasure of watching
davies
iestyn harris
tuigamala
all make their debut in leauge and become better players because of it

[Loy Toy]

As for Union players who can stand up to League, Bateman, Quinnell, Gibbs, Jiffy all spring to mind.

Wally Lewis and Jonathon Davies are probably the best 2 examples of players who switched codes and were champions in both.

Not an easy task and most others have failed.

As far as I can gather most of the best British rugby league players are pinched to play in the NRL and that has been the case for the last 40 odd years.

Great to see my team the Canterbury bulldogs leading the NRL ladder at the moment.
