80 minutes isnt exactly a moment

1) Leroy Rivett scoring a try running along North Stand touchline towards scoreboard end against Sheffield Eagles in Mick Cooks Testimonial, one of the best tries ive ever seen

2) Ali at Knowsley Road, didnt see anything more than him getting past 30 yard line in our own half

3) Tansey in Cardiff; Fantastic leaving the ground to an absouloute soaking but did it matter? Did it balls, sung all the way back the hotel

4) Robbie Paul knocking on in 2004 Grand Final, I started crying then as I knew something could happen from the scrum but tried looking away from mates. We scored, everyone cried

5) The Southstander party after 2004 final in FAE

what a hot sweaty night

1) Danny's try in the 2004 Grand Final and the following kick from Sinny, then we know we were champions. Everybody going crazy, hugging random people, jumping about and having a smile on my face for about a month.

2) Sinny's kick in that semi in 2003. That game had everything and is still the best game of rugby I have ever seen. The whole stand stuck that day.

3) Scott Donald's try in the 2007 Grand Final, the way that he left Wellen's on his . With us totally destroying the Saints in the final and sending Smith out on a high.

4) Danny's second try in the 2008 Grand Final, picking up the ball and some how getting to the line. Going into that game as underdogs and with Saints clearly thinking all they had to do was show up and they would win (Graham's celebration showed that).

5) Rivett's interception try in the 99 Cup final

Mcdonads try against St Helens when he went the length of the field and sold that awesome dummy


The kids beating Cas, Cas players looked like they had just lost a final after that one.
"And for those in the Railway end who cannot see the score..."
70-0 against St Helens, the atmosphere that day was brilliant.

It sure was.

But regarding Tansey, not at all. Tansey took the opportunity. Good for him. Any coach would be chuffed to bits with what he did and got away with. Good lad.

Our issue is not with him at all, but with Klein for telling Ganson (and contrary to what the coaches had all been assured) to award the penalty which wasn't, and against Ganson for missing the offside and not going to the screen. To this day, I will never accept there was not some agenda running. But Tansey is blameless.

1. James Lowes 'aeroplane' try v wigan
2. Paul Sterling v Adelade
3. 1999 cup final
4. Harris skining shaun edwards away at odsal on our way to nilling them.
5. Getting Roy Powells sock tie after a match as a kid (still have it)

James Lowes? I remember the Jim Fallon one.

1. It was Jim Fallon
4. Cant remember when we nilled Bulls.

To say they're your best moments you got at least 1 and possibly 2 wrong.

1, Final hooter at 2004 Grand Final. With minutes to go we had the game won. But everything was a bit "surreal" and i was thinking to myself "this doesnt happen to Leeds, its not meant to be - it cant be". I just didnt dare celebrate until that hooter went. Amazing absolutely amazing!


2, McGuire extra time try 2003 CC semi final.

3, Millenium Magic - Jordan Tansey try! Sat watching the game in Guiseley with most of the room Bradford fans. Me and this other bloke were the only Rhinos fans in the place. I didnt personally know the other Rhinos fan but after that try we were jumping up and down hugging each other with 20 Braford fans gobsmacked watching us



4, 2008 GF. No one gave us a chance - Admittingly even myself. I turned up with hope, not expectation. I said i would sing my heart out to try and inspire and encourage the boys, we did it, battered the scousers into submission.

5, Rob Burrows try, Quins 2009 at Headingley. Saved us from the most embarrassing moment in SL history. Just imagine been nilled by Quins on your own patch. Doesnt bare thinking about.

Embarrassing. Really, embarrassing.

Grateful for your appreciation

Well really.

One was an incident that tarnished the game, another was ridiculous.

Fekwit of the highest order.

Referees get decisions wrong week in week out. Even Cummins would admit that, so why is this one different?

The other doesnt warrant a top 5, but it was definately the gratest sense of relief IN MY OPINION (NOT YOURS!!!) in my RL experience

1. McGuire's 2004 GF try. Finally we lost the tag of underachievers

2. Sinfield touchline conversion 2003 CC Semi, never felt anything like it at a Rugby match.

3. "Nickel gets the red!" Sonny Nickel controversially sent off at Odsal in the four seasons game of '98 after scrapping with Cummins.

4. Godden try at Central Park

5. Beating Saints at HQ around 2000ish when we were around 20 points down with 14 mins to go. TVOC, Any aid with this one please?

Other mentions: McDonald try at Knowsley Road, Ali try 2007 GF, Sterlings effort against Adelaide, Fightback against Sheffield at Don Valley

Yeah that one was awesome. Think it was about 2002 ish though (i stand corrected if not). Seem to remember big Willie Poaching crashing over close range to begin the comeback and lift the crowd. All a distant memory at the moment.

Aye the Euphoria is all I really remember.

It was 2003

It was a brilliant moment. I do hope after stating this you do not class winning the 2005 Grand Final as one of your favourite moments as a Bulls fan. You clearly broke the salary cap to win that one. We all have our crosses to bear but the Tansey try was a surreal moment despite the circumstances surrounding that try.

You may be past caring about the Tansey try. But I’ll never forgive the Bradford club for cheating Leeds Rhinos out of a back to back double back then.



I think Ganson has more than made things up for all fans of the sport in his world cup performance!

Bit harsh...... Granted - the comment re the Harlequins game was daft - in all honesty getting nilled wouldn't have made me feel any worse than I already did on Friday night, but you surely can't blame any Leeds fan for taking huge delight in the Tansey try? Rightly or wrongly it's a moment which most who saw it will remember for the rest of their lives. The Bulls fans quite rightly have a huge axe to grind, but had the roles been reversed they would have enjoyed it just as much as we did - very hard to argue against this getting a place on a "memorable moments" list. As for tarnishing the game??? If every time that an official changed the outcome by making a really bad decision tarnished the game we wouldn't have a game to be talking about!

For the record, my 5 would be:

1. Sinfield's kick from the touchline in the semi v Saints - I was watching the game with a mate who hadn't seen much RL - the game blew him away and made him an instant convert.

2. The final hooter when we won at Wigan, late 1993 (think it may have been the game involving the Fallon celebration alluded to above?) We hadn't beaten Wigan in what seemed like ages, and seemed at the time that Leeds were finally on the verge of throwing off the "underachievers" tag. It turned out to be another false dawn of course, but felt so good at the time! If I remember rightly Wigan were given "Team of the Year" at the Sports Personality of the Year later that day, and whoever handed the award over (Lynam?) made a comment about them losing to Leeds earlier on in the day - the Wigan players looked highly dischuffed!



3. Sinfield converting McGuire's try in the 2004 Grand Final to give us an 8 point cushion, effectively killing the game off. Had he missed, the last minute or two would have been nervy as hell, knowing that a converted try would tie it up again - instead I got hit by a surreal wave of realisation that we weren't going to be caught and the wait was finally over. Didn't quite end up in tears as others above mentioned, but was pretty damn close!

4. A moment about halfway through the 2nd half of the 1999 cup final when Leeds pulled far enough clear that it was obvious we weren't going to be beaten (on watching it back later Hetherington leaned forward at a similar point in the game and acknowledged it as such with Murray). I can't remember much about the next few minutes - all the noise around me just kind of disappeared and I stood in a bit of a trance trying to come to terms with the fact that the pain was finally over.

5. A cup match against Widnes (I think), late 80s (TVOC??) when David Creasser kicked a goal from the touchline to tie the game and earn us a replay (which I think we went on to win in a fairly low scoring game). I couldn't bear to watch and had to turn away - I was fairly young at the time and it was my first realisation of how one moment of sport can affect you so much.

Was it the 19-0? If so it wasn't 93 and Fallon wasn't playing.





1986 Challenge Cup Quarter final. 10-10 in first game , 5-0 in the replay.

Purely Rhino moments:

League game: Leeds v Wigan '98 at Wigan. Brutal, skillful, dirty, and Brad Godden to finish it off.

The '99 cup final. So tense and then that wonderful last 25 minutes when all the stress lifted from Leeds fans and players.

2004 of course. I wasn't at the game (I went in '98 and couldn't bear to feel that bad again). We had a babysitter coming round and it was the first time we had gone out in years without the kids - I couldn't watch the match live, I turned it on to see Barrie Mac on the pitch with the trophy. The babysitter walked in at that moment to see me on the lounge floor on my knees (a pose not unlike the one used on the "Platoon" film poster) screaming "yeessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". We never could get that babysitter again.

The Jim Fallon aeroplane game V Wigan was at Headingley during the 94/5 season. Wigan lost two from their 44 game domestic season at Leeds and Halifax (both on inferior goal kicking by Botica having outscored their opponents in tries) while collecting a clean sweep of trophies.



That was during an amazing run of four consecutive games against the Chemics:

02-Mar-86..... Widnes..... Away..... CHP - 20..... 18 - 20
09-Mar-86..... Widnes..... Home..... CHP - 21..... 29 - 12
16-Mar-86..... Widnes..... Away..... CC - QF..... 10 - 10
19-Mar-86..... Widnes..... Home..... CC - QFR..... 5 - 0



12-Sep-03..... St Helens..... Home..... SL 8 - 27..... 30 - 20

From 0-20 down five tries in the last sixteen minutes by Burrow, Calderwood, Connolly, Mathers and Poching all converted by Sinfield.

No - far more high scoring.... 31-24, or 29-24 - something like that anyway - help anyone? Am sure Fallon scored either our last try or our penultimate one.



Cheers! Had a feeling the replay was low scoring, forgot that we nilled them though! Also had forgotten all about us playing them 4 games running, cheers TVOC - it's all coming back now! Must surely be the only time in living memory that 2 teams have played each other 4 games in a row?

it was 2003

It was 2003.

It was definately this one then:

11th December 1994.... Chp..... Leeds 33 Wigan 28.

I think the confusion came when you started out with 'when we won at Wigan.'

Another memory from that game was Ellery Hanley trampling Jason Robinson while scoring under the sticks and Patrick Entat being left on the bench in the days of only two substitutes.
