Well said and i think he certainly will do.

The two wins from 5th position, the win at warrington in the play offs 2011 ( which i think was his greatest BTW) followed by Burrow's wonder try in the final. WCC win over Manly, back to back CC wins, a treble won in dramatic fashion and then winning the 2017 GF out of nowhere really all things that were done under his watch.

Memories I will cherish forever. Was it the right call? Probably. But that shouldn't take away from what he achieved.

think we have done the right thing. hopefully we can get another tony smith or graham murry not a dean lance.

And Leeds played some of the best RL I've ever seen in 2015. It was like going back in time to 2005.

I often think about that wrongly disallowed try away at Wigan in 2015...It was absolutely breathtaking.

Well, I honestly thought this one would run and run, but like the oft mentioned quasi-legendary Willie Talau to Leeds thread its maybe time to close this bad boy down methinks.

Feel free to get you're last jibes and barbs in.

After nigh on 7 years this has been an all time classic.



Thanks for the memories Mac and thanks for the thread!
