OK we still have some way to go in the SL and would all love to see a treble, but no matter what happens from here in in we know we won't see Sinny and JP in another Leeds team so...

Could 2015 be the best side we've ever had? Regardless of trophies (not) won many would make 2005 the best side of the golden era...are this years vintage better?

It's too much right now brother ! We have sent our champions out as champions! Anything else from now is a bonus! MOT!

I'm not sure the team will feel the same way.

One key bit of advice i'd give is ......savor this time.

Hasn't always been this special and surely won't always continue. When I've read the stories of HKR fans just happy to see their team at Wembley, we Leeds fans should remember how lucky we've been for the last 10 years.

From my perspective of supporting the team since 1978.....I'd say yes. Definitely....

As JP himself said after the game he has been 'blessed' to play in such a great team: similarly we have been 'blessed' to be part of this perhaps never to be repeated era in my lifetime at least. As Printer states we can't expect this to continue forever.....(surely not?). The continued praiseworthy recruitement however continues to gives us every chance.

Replacing Sinfield and Peacock is going to be nigh on impossible though. As McDermott said, they are hardly being carried into their twilight performances. They are both playing at least as well as they have ever done. Incredible.

They built that Wembley statue too early !!!!

The ethos of the club is definitely the best in my lifetime. And I think this might be more significant than the personnel.

It seems we can acquire new players from all over the place and they settle into our way of doing things very quickly. The management deserve most of the credit for this careful, patient transformation of the club.

It is a concern whether that ethos can survive the departure of Peacock and Sinfield who, let's face it, are the living epitome of the integrity I'm on about. For the record, I think it can and I believe this club will become, in time, just as big and successful global brand as anything Russell Crowe can muster.

Yes

This Leeds team has quality that cannot be denied but best ever is hard to judge when the quality of SL teams is very poor.

Among Wigan supporters, saying that the standard of SL is very poor is just a proxy for the fact that their own team is sh*te this season.

It isn't the best team.

It's the best club. Too many people think this is all about the 17 guys in the shirts but what Leeds have built under Hetherington and caddicks vision/support is so much more.

Massive congratulations to everyone involved with the club.

It's great just to sit back & enjoy it knowing the lads involved have the skills and game management to win massive occasions like today. Following the club from the late 80's, I never thought I would ever see a Champion Leeds team like this one.

Hopefully, we can continue our success long after Sinfield and JP leave the club. In a similar way to the way Barca have done in making themselves "more than a club" in football.

And we don't know when we'll see the like again- it could be next year, it could be 40 years away.

It seems all are in agreement that it's the best since 2005 (at least) and we should enjoy it while it lasts.

Amen.

Hard to compare eras, but it's less than 12 months since this side (plus a couple of additions) couldn't buy a win for six weeks and crashed out of the playoffs at home to possibly the worst away side in the competition.

Bit OTT to be describing it as the "best Leeds side ever".

Are you suggesting the coach may have had something to do with the improvement?

Agree on that, but who would you have the statue of if you couldn't have both? Sinny or JP. ooooooohhh Theres a question!!

Wasn't aware I'd made any suggestion of the sort, but hey. If that's what you want to read into it, go ahead...

For mine, what has moved the current side into contention as being the best Leeds side I have watched, is balance. We are not a team noted for just great backs or a dominant pack but rather have quality across the park from 1-17, with plenty of emerging talent pushing through. I am not saying every player is a star or the best in his position, rather that we have strength and quality in the Forwards, backs and Halves. This has been building for years and this year with the addition of Cuthbertson and latterly Garbutt seems to have peaked. With the loss of Sinny and Peacock, this team, this year will be a hard act to follow. Hopefully we can and will.

Well you may not see the connection but I sure do. With the addition of Cuthbertson and more recently Garbutt, McDermott has finally got the mix of skills needed to play the sort of game he wanted to play when he first arrived as head coach.

I feel what Leeds have at the minute is that we have so many 'danger men' that other teams can't handle us. I think Hull KR shut down Hardaker, Cuthbertson and Ryan Hall quite well; just couldn't shut down all our players.

Both are actually more known for their exploits at Old Trafford more than Wembley......a Leeds Rhinos statue outside Man United's stadium......think they'd go for it? Lol

This.I said just as much to mates i watched the game with.We have so many match winners right now, it must be a nightmare for the opposition coaches to make plans against us.long may it continue

I don't think anyone has suggested last years side might be our best ever



This years side and last years may have only a couple of differences in personnel but the likes of Hardaker, Ward and Watkins have continued to improve, Aiton has been a different player to last years (illness hit) version and Cuthbertson has completely changed the way the team play.

I agree its hard to compare era's maybe I should have made the question narrower. Could this be the best side of our golden generation?

Too early to say but its been a great season so far. Lots of hard work left to do.
