Wakefield Trinity • Watersplash Final
[quote="Clearwing"]I go back some 25 years before the start of SL but there are plenty on our board (and yours) who weren't born then, true.
I don't have a problem agreeing on the penalty try, I don't remember ever seeing one awarded where a try looked less like being scored or where a less obvious foul was committed. Should never have been given.
I've been lucky enough to see Leeds win a few finals since, in probably half there were turning points where a bad decision by the ref or a bad mistake by the opposition turned the game our way. You were unlucky to get stuck with one of each in that game.
FWIW I'd love to see you lot lift the CC, it'd actually give the comp a hell of a facelift.[/quote
Thank you. At last an acknowledgement from a Leeds fan of the injustice of the penalty try. If there were more like you, and indeed the same sort of attitude displayed from the Leeds players of the time, I wouldn't have had this grudge for all those years.
