Love it



Seems like only yesterday

Time goes quick, doesn't seem like 7 yrs ago. Wouldn't have thought we would have another 4 wins in next 6yrs though back then

Great to see how the team has developed over that time into the most successful grand final team.

Still the most special win for me, being the first in so many years, that said this years was very good, then 2007.

In order for me

1) 2004
2) 2011
3) 2007
4) 2009
5) 2008

burrow on the bench for that game too i see, sinfield and mcguire starting half back pairing

Remember what a conservative gameplan we played as well?

After playing too expansive in the qualifying semi and losing 2 weeks earlier at headingly we shut up shop for the final.

Up the middle, kicking on the fourth to the volcano's wing then turning him round and penning him in the corner. Repeat for 80 mins.

It seems to be ''easier'' now for us because we have the belief having donw it before. The first one is always the hardest.

When Paul knocked on everyone around me went mental, i burst into tears as I knew this was our time, however given mates who I was with I didnt want them to see me being so emotional, when McGuire scored that was it, tears by plenty from me and my mates

brilliant brilliant day

I think the feeling of elation when the hooter went in 2004 and you suddenly saw burrow and co charging onto the field, was greater than the other ones.

But's it's great to have such a choice!!

yes and it worked to perfection

disko was tremendos that day (and deserved the harry sunderland trophy) but i thought mathers had his finest game in a leeds shirt that night he was my man of the match.

Agree about mathers. I remember numerous kicks from deacon had me squirming but mathers dealt with them every time.

I remember a year laters we tried exactly the same but bradford were up to the challenge that time.

aye and it was decent weather too, maybe we should have played fast on them and with width? doesn't matter now of course

And to think going into that game the whole of RL called us bottlers who couldnt hack itin the big games

I remember that season too. It was when Bradford were found guilty of cheating.

2004 was special for me as it was 'the 1st time'

However this year was special as I took my young lad, so that was his first time!

We'll both remember both years fondly.

To be fair they are all special occasions but 2004 for me was the best from watching the 20yrs before!!

Chris McKenna's hirsute finger in that photo.

I remember saying when that scrum formed that I had a feeling McGuire would score soon.
