10 year old me in that crowd, one of my earliest 'proper' RL memories

Was at this game too

Damn I remember watching this game on Tele as a kid.

You weren't there

"The forward thinking we have in league" bahabah your sports dying in Australia

I still think the nrl in Australia is the best of either code. When players leave the nrl to go to rugby they always carve up.

I loved thrum Hall ground remember my dad taking me as a kid, always think of Halifax RL when I call at asda there

I was there, 9 years old 🍒⚪

Very interesting for any researcher; why did Wigan win? I've counted 439 reasons, how about you??? So much for A causes B!

What a dick head spoiling the score in the title

Cheap shot after after cheap shot on Matt Adamson that day. The state of his face at the end of the game was horrendous.

Two near full length tries as well

High tackle by Deacon so forget double movement or grounded, penalty try

I was stretchered off at Wembley stadium whit a leg injury last year. It was at the under 17 youth challange final.

Prefer union but like league too.

Can anybody tell me who the commentator was

Funny in Australia nobody knows union teams nor does it get any live free coverage. And seems to be reversed situation in England. Union is a dying game in Australia and rugby league may be dying in England

the amount of time we beat Leeds that season I thought we got to keep them

ryan bailey, thick shithouse. complains about depression, he hasn't got a brain to be depressed.

My dads bigger than your dad!!! Oh get a life both games are terrific played by very fit strong talented men, and woman! Just different game play and rules.

I saw the ref quite a few times & I can honestly say he was never biased, he didn't care who beat Bradford

Oh poor Leeds, don't you like it when you aren't the centre of everything? Not the capital of YORKshire… I like commuting to your self congratulatory town every day, because it means that I take money out of your make believe economy and actually spend it elsewhere. Spread the love you greedy over confident twats with a superiority complex.

A bit of help from Ray French's biased commentary... it still carries on.

Sonny Bill plays rugby because it's easier on the body. Fact.

schofield should carry around subtitles so folks can understand him.

Leeds fans crying they got robbed by the refs. How's many trophies have you won down to blatant bias from officials

not really a legend more of a bellend.

An absolute classic.

Gary does the same job as me.

legend

ah van running in cement

I’m a Yank. I love League and I like Union. Both are wonderful codes. I got caught up in the slagging until a few weeks ago until I watched a Union game. Then I watched like 8 of them in a row. It was great. The Rugby League World Cup this year was phenomenal. It was great to see teams like PNG, Ireland, Lebanon, Tonga, Fiji and Samoa do well. One of the best games in either codes I’ve seen was Japan vs SA in the 2015 Union RWC. Eddie Jones had Japan playing quick. I love League because there’s not a lot of mucking about. The crowds and global reach of Union are phenomenal. We can live together. We can learn from each other. Some very smart people are looking at putting Super League teams in Boston, Philly and NYC. There’s a successful team now in Toronto. That could be a game changer. The NFL right now sucks beyond words. Total fucking disgrace and I was such a fan I flew to Miami for a Super Bowl. Once Yanks see League it will make a huge impact. Trust me. These league guys have class. They don’t talk shit on every play like the NFL. I don’t believe in God. Yet, I’m begging on my hands and knees for Super League to invade our country and save us from the dreaded NFL! Love League and like Union.

the same scoreline in the 2003 weekly rounds games at headingley

Anyone who refers to themself in 3rd person does come off as a bit of a tosser.

all love Leeds scum

Bell could still move even though he was getting on a bit

Its all conjecture.I love league and like union internationals .Simples.Jim.Liverpool.

What a player got the idea of splitting super league up way ahead of the rfl

the Olympic factor will definitely cause league to extinct.

Bloody hell I hate Stuart Barnes

a disgrace to the game , never forget his cheap shots on Gary Freeman he's a blight on the game and wouldn't make it in this era

Australian rugby union has died. And it will soon die in NZ

I'd take 40,000 a year playing for Bradford than 100,000 playing for wasps.

Whoever breaks into North America first wins

Australian rugby league is the biggest of both codes anywhere in the world, they've just signed a 2 billion tv deal

union is much more skillful use of scrums lineouts rucks kick for position , league is one dimensional 5 tackles and kick

Besides both codes of the same sport using the wrong shaped ball, as a follower of neither I find Union much more palatable. There is more of a flow to Union (when it's played right, usually by NZ) and a big part why that is is due to the contested tackle. Union is not rapid fire stop start stop start like League. There isn't the same constant straight up running into a wall due of the risk of losing possession..so the ball must be passed around more. The play the ball routine wrecks League as a spectacle...over 300 times this stop start routine occurs apparently. Again no flow to the game...play, pause, play, pause.

Love the 'flying dentist'....Wilf Rosenberg!!

League (which I prefer) has 2 options for players- play in the UK (and France) Superleague or the Australian (and NZL) NRL (England's RFL have a Toronto-based team starting in 2017 which should be interesting to see how the game does in North America). Union has the Premiership, Pro12, Top14, and Super Rugby as legit options and seemingly more money in it.

Great player but for God's sake shave it of Garry.
