Quote ="Grimmy"2010 away play off. They had just won three Grand Finals in a row, and would go on to win the next two as well, so it was a mammoth effort to knock them out in the play offs on their own turf. Otherwise it would have been six in a row! Everything seemed to come off for us in that game and we weren't even sweating in the last quarter. What a way to make our first Grand Final in 7 years.'"
I know it'll always be remembered for the McGuire incident at the end but if you put that to one side the other 79 mins of the 2010 playoff game at the DW was brilliant. Not just saying it because that one went in Leeds' favour but it was genuinely a fantastic and exciting game and it must been a belter for the neutrals. To think the losers still had a 2nd chance the next week it was played like a genuine semi final that neither could afford to lose.....a vast difference to a lot of the 'Loser has a 2nd chance' games during the top 8 format.
Although it wasn't a great game in the heavy rain, the cup game in 2010 sticks in the mind for its uniqueness. All the points came from penalties kicked by Richards and Sinfield until Lee Smith scored the winning and only try in the last minute.
