Re: Super League
Great win for the Rhinos tonight. Excellent performances from the whole team, but Ward, Parcell, Sutcliffe and Golding in particular. Nice to see Ryan Hall back to something like his old form as well, even though he didn't score.

Sadly I missed this fine victory
Re: Super League
Great win for Leeds but what a poor result for Wakey Really, really, so not looking forward to Thursday...
Re: Super League
What a fantastic result for Trinity. I did not expect that result. Very very happy Wakey girl, but what a disappointing result for Leeds. Mixed emotions tonight!
Re: Super League
No mixed emotions here. Well done Wakefield Trinity.
Re: Super League
Of course, that can change. Leeds haven't done well this season, Wakefield have, for a nice change.

Well done Wakey & you have to be happy with that result Swan
McDermott needs to be shown the door like that other dib-dob Brian M we had at Leeds United
Embarrassing !
Re: Super League
Do you have a soft spot for Wakey Norm? Being a Wakey girl who lived about 3.5 miles from Wakey and about 7 miles from Leeds on the main Wakefield/Leeds road both Cities hold fond childhood memories for me...but having been born in Wakey, Trinity just edge it for meNorm wrote:No mixed emotions here.

Re: Super League
Yes, very happy with the result 64. I recorded the game but haven't watched all of it yet.1964white wrote:Didn't see the game but it sounds like the Rhinos took another bashing

As for McDermott....maybe being a Wakefield lad he had a hidden agenda last night

Re: Super League
Born in Manygates Hospital on Barnsley Road Swan. Lived in Sharlston until I was 21, supported Featherstone and Wakefield Trinity. If they played each other I just said may the best team win. 'Found' football and Leeds a bit late really, through 2 mates in high school at Normanton and preferred the game: so started my love for Leeds. I didn't stop with RL though, went to a few Challenge Cup Finals (if either was involved) and big regular games after that. As the 1960s unfolded though it was mostly Leeds United.whiteswan wrote:

Re: Super League
Wow! Small world Norm. My cousin was sister midwife at Manygates hospital before it was closed down and she lived on manygates crescent next door. I was born in Walton Hall (now Waterton Park Hotel). My folks now live on Barnsley Road within walking distance of Belle Vue ( very handy). I used to work at the school dental clinic in Wakefield and visited Sharlston school many times to assist with the dreaded 'school dental inspection'Norm wrote:Born in Manygates Hospital on Barnsley Road Swan.

Aye, it's a small world Swan. I started a 32-year career on Wakefield Kirkgate station in 1963 as a trainee clerk, was transferred in 1964 to Healey Mills Marshalling Yard until 1966 - came back to Healey Mills 1974-78; that was the last time I worked in Yorkshire. After that it was Immingham, then London for my last 15 years, then to the States in 1996. Only a couple of cousins left on Sharlston now and I haven't seen them since my mother died in 2009. I've run into people I've known in some strange places where you'd never expect to meet them, but you never quite seem to break the ties with the first home you can remember, or at least I haven't.

Re: Super League
Its a busy job midwifery, I know only too well from my cousin, a job that you have to be so dedicated to (I spent a couple of days at Jimmy's on work experience from school....went into the operating theatre whilst they were operating. Put me off nursing for life! went into dentistry instead )1964white wrote:My dear mum was a midwife/sister at the LGI & St James in Leeds, spent all her working life in nursing
Re: Super League
Wakey so unlucky tonight! Mind you, silly boy should have smothered the ball instead of using a 'strictly come dancing' toe poke to get rid of 't ball....allowing that lot from across the pennines to score....so so, disappointed....

Just beaten in the end, unlucky Wakey.whiteswan wrote:Wakey so unlucky tonight! Mind you, silly boy should have smothered the ball instead of using a 'strictly come dancing' toe poke to get rid of 't ball....allowing that lot from across the pennines to score....so so, disappointed....
Tonight's match between Cas v Rhinos won't be so close....I'm expecting another battering
Re: Super League
Big game this evening for Leeds against the codheads. Hope Leeds can smash 'em. Haven't forgotten their cheating tactics against Wakey at Belle Vue on the forst day of the season. Castleford were lucky with their winning drop kick last night, St Helens were very unlucky with theirs.....C'mon Rhinos....
Re: Super League
Would be an amazing achievement if we got through to the Grand Final with the current coach & players if we get there we'll get smashed by Cas in the finalwhiteswan wrote:Big game this evening for Leeds against the codheads.
