1999 Anniversary dinner. : Tue Apr 21, 2009 11:07 pm  

Who went?

What a fabulous event.

How good were all those who spoke?

Murray's disdain for the Bulls was priceless. Nice Iestyn referring to Leeds as "we" and pleased he got such a warm welcome.

Also nice to hear the Wire captain say he is always a Rhino.

Is Martin Masella just the nicest guy on earth?

Thoroughly enjoyable evening and I can't wait for 2019 for the 20 year "do" not to mention 2014 to commemorate another special squad.

He hated the mongrels within 10 minutes of being at the club.

went to the last two for the 77-78 teams, have wondered why was syd hynes not flown over then (at least once) yet the coach and half his team made the trip this year, is it that barrie mac organized it, as he did the 77-78 doing a great job but didn't have a direct interest with those teams, or that GH the 99 cheif exec. was 7th choice hooker in the late 70's

Yes, Barrie referred to Jamie in his speech and they seemed have made their peace. Which is good because life's too short to carry on squabbles.

The night was a great success with Leroy's 1999 shirt raising £500 in the auction.

G1 - Masella smiled all night long just as he did at the 1999 homecoming - no animosity that he was left out of the final team. He's one very special guy.

A stark contrast to one of our much lauded (by fekwits) Australians.

I doubt half of those on here would even recognise Masella if they saw him at Headingley.

Translation: My name is CraigLoiner and I know nothing about rugby. The proof of this is that my favourite song is Oh Matty Matty. Matty, Matty, Matty, Matty Adamson.
