If/when we win the cup, we will have beaten either the top 4 in the league or 4 out of the top 5 (us being the 5th) only one of which was at home. Would this be our best CC win ever in terms of quality of opposition?

99 we beat Wigan Saints and Bradford which was a tough way to do it.

This would beat it I reckon.

It doesn't beat 99 IMO.

Knocked out reigning champs a man down, plus saints and bulls who were dominating the cc and super league at that time. Ok, granted london and widnes. But it isn't easy being MASSIVE favourites in a final against a nifty team.

None of wigan saints or bulls were very understrength either.

I've always felt it's the one to win!

It's steeped in history, shown on terrestrial TV....wembley.....it just sends the shivers down your neck!

Now that leeds have made it again it's just confirmed it all again for me.

The grand final is just a glorified end of season money spinning knock out competition.

Its an illness

Hooray

go away

Any chance you can merge the rest of his bollox threads into this one as well.

He's just clogging up the entire board.

shame theres no cure for his stupidness

We should arrange for him to have castration..

Also no clashes with Wakefield '68, Leigh '71, St Helens '72, Widnes '77 and St Helens '78.

That's the limit of my recollections of Leeds in CC Finals, I'd have to research earlier appearances.

Good question though. It's probably never happened before.

Does this mean Leeds get to choose the referee now?
