Quote: Damo-Leeds "I’m very bitter about what happened in 2005. Leeds Rhinos had an impressive season until Bradford came away and took the spoils at the end of it. '"
Leeds started the season in the best form I've ever seen them in (including 2004). However by late July the wheels had started to look very wobbly and to be honest by October it was a bit of a surprise that we made the final at all, which we did largely due to a phenomenal defensive effort at Knowsley Road (with a little help from Terry Newton and Ali "Linford" Lauititi). Truth is we didn't finish the season strongly enough to deserve to be champions.
The Bulls were very naughty children breaching the cap in the way they did, but on the field they won 13 in a row at the end of the season, when we crumbled a bit.
