Ive been watching since 1987 when i was 13. Its a massive moment to lose one player whos played for as long as Sinfield, but to lose three icons and certainly two legends means it is as big a game as youll see in the next ten years at least. Such a massive emotional investment as well in Sinfields time as captain and Peacock dragging us to the summmit time and again.

The chance of the treble, Kevin Sinfield's last ever game for Leeds, he's been captain since he was 20 years old. That is some going. Jamie Peacock and Kylie's last games ever period. Facing perhaps the toughest test for you guys in a GF for quite some time. One that has a very real possibility of you losing. Your first GF in three years. It's definitely a biggie. Even as an outsider I can feel the tension you all have this time around. It's going to be an absolute belter and I'll be in your corner (literally) come kick off.

Feel ill to be honest , whatever happens i'm afraid i will not enjoy the game , maybe i will feel a bit better after a couple of pints but then need to make sure not too many . The only part i would enjoy is after the hooter has gone if we are the winners . 5 a.m and can't get back to sleep , by my own addmission i am a born pessemist and just feel tonight is one game too far . I think with full squads and if both teams were fesh we are better than them , but with the three pack guys out and Delaney and Watkins no where near fit and the slowing the tackle down tactics that Wigan will use may make it a tough night . Bowen and Williams are in fine form and need to be watched along with Burgess who is a fantastic talent . Maybe just got that one hope that for one last time this great team of ours can pull it out of the fire . After years of dissapointmens i feel so lucky to have witnessed the last dozen years and would feel that a win tonight is a victory for all the guys who have played in that period . A lot has been spoken in recent times about the Rugby Gods , well please tonight i am praying for one last time be with us the Rhino's .
Whatever happens tonight will not define how we feel about Sinny and J.P or Kylie for that matter it would with a victory though be the icing on the cake . So good luck to everyone , sing your hearts out and lets pay tribute to the end of an era that i for one never imagined could ever happen .

I think even if you are finding it tough out there tonight with the tide against you, last week proved that all it takes is one moment of magic to get you out of a hole (Sinfield 40/40) I honestly can't see that side letting the treble slip from them. There is so much to go out on here with retirements and legendary status beckoning that I just can't see your guys letting anyone stop them.

Biggest since 2004 for me. Beating the Bulls at OT just two weeks after they schooled us at Headingley for our first championship in decades. The core of that group is still there. They've overcome adversity. 2005 losing both finals, written off in 2007 & 2008, then people calling them not true champions because they didn't win the LLS. So in 2009 they did both and completed 3 in a row. Then all the drama of winning it from 5th in 2011 & 2012. Getting over the mental block and carrying the monkey of never winning a Challenge Cup. So they won it back to back. I don't think we'll ever see another group like this.

It's the biggest game in that we'll witness the end of an era no-one could have imagined when a scrawny kid from Oldham was given his debut by then Coach Dean Bell!
No longer will we see the Greatest ever player Leeds have signed in JP leading from the front as good in the 75th minute as he was in the 1st.
Nor will we see the bone crushing impact of our most successful overseas signing smashing all who stood in front of him with or without the ball.
Then we have the side issues , we are playing arguably the "Form team" our long term Nemesis who we have failed to beat in a Final in 6 attempts which leads us onto it possibly being "7th time lucky which in turn would be Sir Kevs 7th GF victory!
Admittedly i'd feel much more confident with S.Ward ,Aiton and Sutty out there plus although victorious we have looked on our last knockings the last fortnight at the FT hooter.
Biggest ,Toughest and a significant game in the Clubs history it's all there COME ON THE RHINOS!

I've been watching since the mid-80's and I'd definitely say this feels the biggest.

The 94 Cup Final was huge for me, I was still a kid and it was the first time I'd seen Leeds in a final, and this has all the same feelings as that, but with the added significance on Sinfield, JP, Kylie and the treble being on the line.... 2004 was huge - but more when and how the game was won, but we'd been in finals before in the recent past.

And whilst we've been in plenty of finals recently, it's highly unlikely we'll witness a period of unprecedented success with the same core group of players (and mostly Leeds juniors)like we have over the past decade - In particular Sinfield and JP have been a driving force in this legacy and have earned legendary status in the game - for their final game to be a GF against our arch rivals, who we've never beaten in a Final, with the treble and 'fairytale' finish on the line - it can't get bigger.

The real worry is getting beaten by and losing the fairytale ending to Wigan of all teams - it wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't Wigan - I despise them.... The long term rivalry, the heartbreak as a kid of seeing Wigan crush us twice at Wembley, then the 98 Inaugural GF, Tomkins at Wembley, Shaun Wane, their current tactics and team full of grubs..... It's real easy to hate Wigan..... And I mean really HATE them....

Yep, this is the biggest, by a long shot!

This is by far the biggest game in Rhinos history - our first ever opportunity to take the treble with three legends of the Rhinos bowing out.

It does really feel different today - I don't think I'll feel too disappointed if we were to lose. I think the disappointment that would come with losing would be overshadowed by losing our three stalwarts.

no bigger than any other grand final for me. all have been massive in different ways

Don't disagree with try that but its worth noting that we've rarely been the favourites going into a grand final.

As for the question, biggest since 2004 for me.

For me the success of this team is based on professionalism and focus, epitomised by Sinfield. If the treble can be won it will be won and if it's lost it won't be through lack of effort.. I think that the game is winnable but we face the other best team in the competition and they will provide us with a stern test. I feel more nervous about this game than I have about any other. Thinking about why that is, I have come to the conclusion that it is because I would desperately like to see what is the end of an era, marked by the winning of the treble. But win or lose, this has been a phenomenal team that have given us a decade of being truly competitive with a sack full of trophies to prove it. Hopefully they will finish this superb season with one more win and send the retirees off on a high. It will be a great game for the neutrals and will further raise the profile of RL. But what ever the result and who ever lifts the trophy, this has been a great season and this is a great team. COME ON YOU RHINOS !!!

I'm usually pessimistic about the chances of any team I support winning, but this year my other team Yorkshire CCC has blitzed all before it to the point where I now expect them to win. My head says Wigan but my heart says The Rhinos.
However, it's two all between us this year & in terms of points scored its 87-85 in favour of the Rhinos. Yes, we may be somewhat beaten up but we're battle hardened. We've won the games we needed to win. The one game Wigan needed to win vs Saints they came up short. We then beat Saints shortly after.
So to make Wigan strong favourites is misguided.
I hope we're not talking about debatable decisions after the game.
I'm predicting a Leeds win by 7.
Got all my lucky clothes ready, having fish & chips for lunch so I'll have done everything I can to produce a Rhinos win.
I can't wait.

Win or lose tonight it's been a great season and much better than many of us predicted at the beginning of the year.

What Sinfield, peacock and Kylie have done for our club cannot be underestimated and is much bigger than just one game tonight.

I started to support Leeds just after the 1957 Cup win. Since then there have been many highs and lows and I have learnt not to expect victory when we are favorites and not to give up hope when we are not. If we are to win tonight then I believe this would be our greatest victory in my experience because of several factors.

To go into a final against a fully fit and inform Wigan would always be a difficult task with odds no better than 50/50 but to do so lacking 3 front line forwards (Ward, JJB and Aiton) and in addition Sutcliffe too is something of a handicap. However our last two games have given a timely reminder that we should never give up hope particularly with this group of players.

Our players will have plenty of motivation tonight because of the desire for Kev, JP and Kylie to retire on a high but this alone will not be enough to lift the trophy. We will still need a good disciplined game plan and be able to produce enough attacking flair to penetrate the Wigan defence.

If we do put in a winning performance to make it an historic treble then this must go down as the Club's very best achievement.

I hope it is a really good game of rugby and not spoilt by controversial decisions or bad errors and may the best team win.

Supported the club since early 80's. Seen some crap in that time. Really looking forward to the game. Win or lose I will enjoy the game, and give 3 legends of the clubs a good send off. I tend not to get too heated anymore at games, try and treat them as what it is, entertainment. Mainly since I had kids I take the result as they come.
If we win will be the greatest moment

It's a strange one today, for the first time it really feels like the result doesn't matter, obviously we would all like to win but most just want a good game and a big effort.

I was pretty cool about today's game.After reading this thread I am a bag of nerves,and I am sure I will playing the game with them mentally.Hoping the team goes out on a high,but we know one thing for sure they will give it one hell of a shot busted or not.Good luck rhinos.

I'd say so...and I've been a supporter since 1978.

This IS truly a hugely significant match because it is the end of an ERA with the retirement from the game of such illustrious greats. It would be a fitting way for them to bow out with another win for the rewards they have given all us supporters for all of these trophy winning seasons; after so many many years (let's not forget) of being the big but only nearly club.

At the same time we can still all surely forgive them a loss.

Whatever the outcome this set of players with these three great servants playing their last ever game should be given rapturous applause - and I'm sure they will be.

In Manchester now... Come on Leeds, Leeds, Leeds!

Well done..Congratulations on the treble....



Great game..

Well done Leeds, that never say die spirit was certainty evident when Wigan got in front in the second half, great game for us neutrals, imagine tortuous for both set of fans.

Great final, worthy winners. Congratulations
