Is this Leeds side the best Leeds team ever after winning the third title in a row??

Well, if you're looking at the 68 season onwards, Holmes made his debut at 16 and Risman was the recognised No.1 at that time. He played there in the '68 Cup Final for example.

History might have been a bit more interesting had Risman not retired through injury ....

The Leeds backs were poetry in motion at that time.

The modern game bears little resemblance. The two best bits of centre play yesterday came from Gidley and fooking Meli.

I'd say Saints 2006, us 2003 and now you lot 07-09 are the best three.

It's amazing how that quality has been there throughout three or four years, rather than 1 season of excellence like us and saints. I wouldn't put it past you lot to go on and do a fourth next year, maybe even the challenge cup eh ?

The '09 Leeds team has been built upon for 2010 and even the elder statesmen show no signs of decline if used carefully. Senior, Peacock and Leuluai appear to be having the times of their lives.

Worrying news for the rest of the comp.

Meli is a player who brings skillls from both total sides of the spectrum, although his brain explosions total destroy anything else he brings to the table.


For the record Gardner is useless, how this guy has got International caps is a shocking indictment against SL.
