Re: Leeds the game : Mon Feb 15, 2021 11:01 am  
I think part of the problem is that Leeds Council, residents, Rugby League team look down on the whole of Yorkshire and think they are it. This attitude rubs the rest of Yorkshire up the wrong way. Personally my family and friends have always called them Lucky Leeds because everything seems to go their way most of the time. They did have some dirty, niggly players in the sixties including Sid Hynes and Mick Shoebottom.

Re: Leeds the game : Mon Feb 15, 2021 1:26 pm  
My dislike for Leeds as a RL team probably stems from the fact over the last 10/15 years they have been so bloody good, with that came a level of arrogance which was probably justified, probably made more apparent as they are our neighbours, you get similar with Wigan, fans of other clubs hate them... For some reason I have never felt anything towards Saints which doesn't follow that pattern. Over the past few years, I have taken more of a disliking to Leeds than Cas, probably because I feel we have a better chance of beating them!

As a proud Wakefield lad, my dislike for everything Leeds goes beyond RL though, I don`t know why, it just does - In the past when I have known someone in the spotlight is from Wakefield and they say they are from near Leeds or even Leeds I just lose all respect for them, it`s my pet hate, I know, sounds ridiculous but it`s true! You get some people that are all for Leeds and will bang on about how much of a dive Wakefield is, I think our city is great but that`s just me!

Think it was Barry Seabourne. That was an exciting half back pairing
