Mick Hogan left almost immediately after, when Bishop signed John Butler from saints. Until Danny Campbell and David Stephenson, I thought Butler was our worst ever signing.

Dessie's try would never have made it past the video ref. Don't think I've ever jumped so high as then, though. Didn't Leeds play the pies in the final?

Think I recall seeing that on my way home on the coach and could not believe how much he 'bounced' the ball.

Bounced it?

He might as well have thrown it over the line from 10 yards out!!

Something else I forgot to add about the Leeds game......when Jeff Clarke went over for his try in the first half (he romped in from a short pass from Adrian Earner from at least 85 yards with 9 defenders hanging off his back, maybe more), a lone pitch invaded ran on to congratulate him.

Wearing a bright red jumper and hooped scarf, it was none other than the infamous Dogger Walls!!

I am sure I saw him playing last night on the DVD. Who was the other prop then (with Wilkinson)?

I may have to ring the wife, tell her to stop washing and ironing, forget picking the kids up, watch it, and let me know.
