They're real. We just saw one that lasted from February to October.
They all lived happily ever after.

I'm speechless.

Obviously, not that speechless

Now all Leeds have to do is win The WCC next Feb and win BBC SPORTS TEAM OF THE YEAR and they will copy ST Helens amazing season of 2006/7

Relatively speechless

Then we'd have to follow that up with losing 5 grand finals in a row. I somehow don't think we'll be capable of that. Never mind.

The last 15 days have been ridiculous. Can't really comprehend what just happened!

Congratulations Leeds at times you had to tough it out.

below is what I have just put on the Wigan board.


Leeds won because they had two halfbacks in McGuire and Burrows ( please do not tell me that Burrows was hooker) who did an old fashioned halfbacks job on us and by that I mean being allowed to roam all across the width of the pitch.

Wigan on the other hand after a very bright start when they scored a superb try down the left, Leeds suddenly tightened up on Williams and Farrell and by doing this 80% of Wigan's attacking threat was snuffed out. Leeds knew that nowhere near the same threat would come from Wigan's right.

Finally I would just like to congratulate Jamie Peacock on what as been a great career.

On top of all the team and individual plaudits, putting to bed that silly Wigan finals hoodoo makes it even more worthwhile, something even the likes of Schofield and Hanley couldn't do.

As for the famous Bulls 2003 and Saints 2006 teams, Leeds took them both apart pretty convincingly in the following season's finals of 2004 and 2007

Thought Wigan had a shocker in kicking for goal when 18-16 up.

Not that I really care, trebble winners what a way to send of the fantastic three!

Loser club mentality - if they'd gone for 6 at the least it would have taken more juice out of the tiring Leeds forwards. They lacked a real leader out there.

Absolutely gutted but congratulations, especially for Peacock, a proper way for one of the best props I've seen to bow out.

If only you could have been there, be honest Leeds beating Wigan instead of Saints in the GF made you a little bit jealous didn't it?

Wow, what a game, what an atmosphere, what a result.
Fantastic. It was a privilege to be there.

Absolutely. I had tears in my eyes at the end. My step-son was very embarrassed. The end of a golden era.....BLUDDY FANTASTIC. I will remember this season for a very long time

No shame in that, you weren't the only one. In the car on the way home we all agreed our best ever game and result. Never been so happy to see the team win a fitting end to a golden era. Hopefully after a little time to reorganise it will be onward and upward.

Great performance. Happy for JP a man I have always admired a true warrior of the game. You deserve everything you have achieved this year.

I'm drained. God knows how the players feel. what an effort. we were gassed with 20 left and had been bartered non stop for ages. how we recovered was a tremendous show of character

interesting that Leeds ran it when given a similar choice late on

My eyes were watering too at the end. My heartbeat in those last 5 mins must've been off the scale.

Leeds clinch a historic treble thanks to KEINHORST passing to WALTERS to crash over.......the unlikeliest of heroes

Always liked Keinhorst....he has a lot of character, effort and a great pass/skills in him. I hope the club rewards him with a proper pre-season effort to build him to a classy second rower playing inside Watkins. Walters has taken a lot of criticism but what will we remember most about him from hereon?

When Saints went for a penalty in 2011 when they had us on the ropes I remember thinking "thank you" because it gave us a chance to regroup.

I felt the same when Wigan went for two points tonight.

They kicked that goal in the 61st minute. Leeds haven't conceded a single point after that minute in ANY of their seven GF wins, what an effort to do that in the final game of the year.

Agree Keinhorst has a future ahead of him at Leeds IMO.

As for Walters, he might not make it at Leeds long term.......but he'll always be the guy who scored the winning try to clinch the treble.....their's worst claims to fame

You're right....I too was surprised and pleased they went for 2. Leeds were out on their feet and it was the breather they needed. IF Wigan had gone out for a try they would have probably scored it winning the GF. 20-16 meant we were just that one glorious try and conversion away from snatching it

Great team performance and all played their part but special mention for Maguire (deserved MOM) Burrow who played a key role at acting half and Garbutt who was immense once again. Singleton put in a strong defensive stint and our backs regained their edge once more.

YOU have got no excuse for misnaming our HS award winner......or do you prefer 'Burrows' too



I also enjoyed Clubb's kick tonight
