It is a long held tradition to hate Leeds but as Vastman says they have given us some cracking loan guys during Super League and lay us the Boxing Day golden egg. Similar with Cas, even though they recently tried to seduce Fifita, Tupou and Tanganoa.
I would put Shudds at the top of the list for clubs who have screwed us during this period.
Sure, we've had some good signings from Leeds over the years, but just cast your mind back to a few years ago when they came raiding the larder for the likes of David Jeanes, Bob Haigh, David Smith, Trevor Skerrett frpm Trinity, all international players plundered from us at the peak of their careers.This was the main reason that we plunged into semi obscurity from which we have not yet escaped. What about all those up and coming youngsters that they would sign from "lesser clubs" (not only us), then not playing them; allowing them to languish in their A team, and prevent these good young 'uns playing for any of their opponents?
Sorry, but not a nice neighbouly club at all.
