When men were men and did'nt melt like today RIP George Thornton

went to mr smiths may 87---when did it open ? 87?

​@@MarkSmith-er7fe Opened in 1986 did Mr Smiths

Which is funny cos it's Rugby

@@DBuckyBoyit’s footy

Agree, I was there as a teenager, it was brutal, on and off the field. Real passionate rivalry. As regards the unacceptable face of RL, this is what our game is about, it’s not football, or tennis , it’s the hardest physical contact sport on the planet alongside boxing and MMA, and we love it

Same as when tv football commentators say, "This is the sort of thing that nobody wants to see", as a million people shout at their telly, "Shut up you prick! This is EXACTLY what we want to see".

Tattoos, ugh.

Yes but who got the last pie ?

@@tonypate9174 - ya Ma lad

By gum !

I was there, took the full Wigan squad out single handed. My fists are classified as lethal weapons...I call my left the widow maker and my right...instant death. I am a hard bastard who you really dont wanna fuck with.

Shouldn't have read that comment on the train. I got some "oh great, I'm sitting across from a nutter" looks as I guffawed.

@Matthew Burton what are you on about matt burton u literally play in the NRL

@Matthew Burton You must be a disciple from the Church of Forward Pass and Kick. A lost cause, I fear.

Good old Psycho.

Stamped on his hand just to finish off didnt he 😂

@J G Where did you copy and paste that from? No self respecting Football fan calls it 'soccer' and by the way, shut up, you melt. Penchester Yanited idiot. I bet you're not even from Manchester, are you?

@J G football is a sport for wanna be actors, shut up.

@@JG-bw6lu Ya thinks that's a good thing, scum, err JG ?

@J G football*

@J G for the record uve missed alot of countries. Australia, Canada, England, France, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea Wales, Canada, Malta, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji. Get your facts straight before you start badmouthing our amazing sport

@J G it’s you!

@J G obsessed 😂😂😂

Man, in the unlikely event we had some sun and the mud dried out it was like playing on concrete.

Which one of the Hulls?

Bring back the Biff!!

DHTCF agree!!! Proper rugby league

I lost interest when Sky, Super League and money took over and I don't want to watch rugby league in summer.

He was great in Australia until he was taken out by Terry Lamb in the 88 grand final. It was a dog shot that got him.

@@Will-nb8qk Yes. Most disgusting piece of thuggery I have seen on a football field.

@@Will-nb8qk So, a goat taken out by a lamb?

@@williamjohnson4117 A wolf 🐺 in sheeps 🐑 clothing 😜

Yes, Les Boyd was an animal, but a very talented player. He was one of those players that, as a supporter of the opposing side, you would give come verbal "stick" but secretly wish he was on your team. (Lifelong Oldham supporter)

@@gordonmonaghan133 Boyd was a complete grub

70banksia I remember watching Tommy Raudonikis on the 1978 Kangaroo tour to GB . A great player with a ferocious will to win.

He was good enough to go on two Kangaroo tours@@moptopbaku6022

@@loneranger5954 That doesn’t stop him being a complete grub.

😄 I like how quickly he went from laying on the pitch like he was dead, to running full blast with fists flying.

The other bloke stood on his hand

You're right on the money! I'm in my 50's, played reps in my teens and today's game doesn't resemble the game back in the 70's and 80's one little bit. To be honest, it's boring and predictable now. The running, inventive game of those days was brilliant to watch.

@@paulbyron8231 League has changed so much over the years because of how professional and organised it is now. Teams have had to adapt to the new rules.

Try he best days of rugby league

Both league and union have suffered from corporate nonsense.

No interchange back then, only allowed 4 subs. Once you came off you stayed off. As the heavier players became tired it opened the field up for the little generals to shine. Most players had to be solid 80min players. So miss the "softening up period" where both sets of forwards would pummel the shit out of each other for the first 10-20 minutes. Today's game is to sanitised. Get rid of the interchange and bring back players who play with heart when the going gets tough and the players get tired.

Fuckin good player. Tough

Ronan Rogers Celery!!!

should have took is head off common wire

Alzheimer's Disease at age 59.

Great footballer great bloke.

@@scooters47 in worked with him top man

Grant agreed but the 10% where magnificent. Some of that Wigan team would walk into any team any era.

Same with most sports to be honest

+L-J Shaw its called atmosphere

Watersheddings

L-J Shaw certainly a much better atmosphere than you get in these new half empty grounds.

Depends whether you enjoy getting warm piss down the back of you jeans?

the old grounds look great on tv but when you go there its a different story.

One of the giants of that era.

Great passer of the ball was Gregory.

LOL he's now bankrupt and has just been given a suspended prison sentence for having an uncontrolled dangerous dog badly maul & injure a guy in a park.

He would of helped the Tigers win the 1988 Grand Final if it wasnt for that pig Lamb. Dirty ass hole.

jonathan davies? easily the best rugby player the world has ever seen. . . . both codes

curleyteeth I

Fantastic player. One of a handful from here who the Aussies still rate, although I think our forwards have gone up in their estimation in recent years

...bar Brett Kenny, Mal Meninga, Bob Fulton, Andrew Johns, Greg Inglis...I could go on, but suffice it to say you didn’t see the best players play.

@@ronanrogers4127 what Ellery Hanley could do on a field was greater than any one else mate. King Ellery

Came back to life as it looks like his hand was stamped on!

Your comment had me in tears laughing!!

Hear hear

If it's winning the league you're referring to, which I assume you are by 'Title', then we've actually won in twice in the last 60 years 1974 when won about 6 trophies including Challenge Cup, League, Lancashire Cup, Premiership and also more recently in 2011. Don't know where you've got your figures from.

+Nottalot1 Salford won the League in 74. Warrington did win 4 trophies that season Cup, John Player Trophy , Captain Morgan Trophy which was only ever played once and the play off which that season had the bizarre name of Club Championship Merit Trophy

wow your Kevin brown

Still waiting.........

He had massive shoulders and thighs and he ran at the gaps.

@@loneranger5954 Great IQ on the pitch with a hand off rivalled by few. Lol..I'm waxing lyrical about him but everytime he came to the Boulevard I hoped he was on the injured list.

That’s how good Hanley was, he scored tries which no one else could and despite Johnson being great cover tackler (stopped Eric Grothe a few times in Sydney) still couldn’t prevent the try.

Hope HKR got a good beating, always a good day when they do. 👏👍👊

League sux Take the greatest game in the world and turn it into shat.

@@JustHazardous ok boomer

@@JustHazardous Rugby (forward pass, quick kick it before you get tackled) Union "the greatest game in the world"?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rugby a game played by people who can't play football

@@alanmacdonald4975 Football. A game mostly played by people who lack the skill and subtlety to play cricket.

He's a complete f*cking idiot, he was that way at West and Manly

Certifiable ! ! !..

Saw him having a piss in mr Smiths, on the Dance floor.

Les did suffer from 'white line fever' from all accounts a great fella off the field.

oink ooink says the pig.

Gaz Pursell

Robert Roberts Nothing wring in a good old bit of traditional British violence!

The commentator enjoyed it too but he's on the telly so he has to say the right thing.

Here here!!

Robert Roberts yes but it’s ok to watch two boxers beat seven shades of sh*t out of each other. This is what’s missing from modern sport.

I agree..these guys are playing Professional Rugby League not Morris Dancing..... 🏉league forever.!!

Why is that he's a kiwi 🥝 speaks better English than a pommie

Better kiwi players hereb

I am a Wigan fan but loved watching Les Boyd
