Steve? Dickens played only a couple I believe. Only reason I remember him is that we had Dick, Dickens and Dickinson on the same team sheet.

Anyone remember Peter Mosscat,a hooked from Aus.

Outstanding player was Loz but never quite had the attitude to match his ability. Spat his dummy out when Terry Newton was fast tracked into the first team ahead of him despite being a loose forward at the time.

Scaffolder back in Hull now.

Neil james was a good friend of my cousin, my cousin went to Australia when he was 7 the family came back for a couple of years when he was 17-18 was at Wakefield colts with Neil james and Gary Price, they really really wanted to sign my cousin but he hated the weather they all moved back to Australia where he joined the army.
But they always looke neil James up when they came back to visit.

Vass the best junior prospect of all time according to doug laughton, (untill kevin Sinfield) never quite lived up to it. He was a good champion standard player.

Richard Gunn. read same as for Marcus Vass. really

My memory may be failing me, but did we have a big Aussie (Threequarter, I think) called Bob Landers who just played a few games?

Pat Mitchell, Andy & Ian Mackintosh.

Alan Rathbone mentioned earlier in this thread cost Leeds £35k and did not last the first half of his debut, over a grand a minute. He never played professional RL again. Sadly passed away a couple of years back.

Played in and was sent off in the Charity Shield match in Dublin, IIRC. I'd had a tremendous amount to drink prior to and during that match, so I might have got that wrong.

Also, I think he played in our second mid-90s Wembley defeat to the Pies. I think I threw him my scarf as they made a lap of honour to thank the fans. Again, I'd been drinking, so might have mis-remembered.

T'was the first one, 1994. Mind, I'd been drinking so I could be wrong

94 him and mike o neil on the bench oneil set the record for longest gap between first and last challenge cup apperance 15 years from 79 with widnes to 94 with leeds.

Now you've said that, it was the first one. The first time seeing the Loiners at Wembley, I stayed for the lap of honour. It helped that they gave a half decent account of themselves.

The following year I wasn't in such a forgiving mood, and scarpered at the hooter.

Yes I remember Bob Landers,a big Aussie centre /winger.He played quite a few games

Went to Bradford.

Broke his femur against Saints.

Ditto. Did you partake in the pitch invasion?

No, only time I was ever on the pitch at Central Park was for the trophy presentation in the Regal Trophy Final 1984!

Neil Lean from Hunslet, Tony Burke from Bramley and Andy Sykes from the colts. We seemed to try out a few young props in that era.

Eddie Cunningham was a favourite of mine in the centre, he had more of a "cameo season" with us rather than a few appearances (32 appearances 16 tries 1979-80 if Wikipedia is to be trusted). I recall he requested a transfer due to the constant travel back and forth over the pennines.

Another horrible, snowy, windy trip across. Was really bad going home.

Yes, I remember that. Fortunately I wasn’t driving as we got a lift with a mate’s dad who was reporting on the match for a Sunday newspaper. We had to hang around after the match while he called in his report so with that and the weather we got home very late. Not that we were too bothered...

Was gonna mention Eddie but wasn't sure he met the criterion for cameo players as he played a full season. During which he was excellent I'll add. Really peed off when he went to Widnes.

john carroll not so much a cameo also ended by a broken leg
