| Wasn't sure which post to post on but this is the one.
As an FC supporter frankly today I didn't want either side to win but I have to congratulate the Leeds team on their performance after an opening 20 minutes which looked like a walkover.
Unfortunately Brent Webb was a disaster waiting to happen - the guy has just lost it - but I was mightily impressed by the response of the Leeds team, particularly as some of your leaders - notably Sinfield and Peacock - were so poor. For me Ablett and Delaney were outstanding and, like Hull in 1985, you played your part in a great final.
I have too many memories of losing at Wembley but at least your players were a credit to your club and supporters.

A poor kick? have you mistyped there, interested to know.
It was a poor decision in hindsight, as I think he would have beaten the cover to the corner. But the kick was spot on, it was a combination of superb recovery from Tomkins and the bounce of the ball not going to the left that stopped a certain try.

As you grow older, it will avoid you!

| Quote: Wilbred T Pricklepop "I am very proud of the team today, we put in a great effort and although we didn't get the result we should all be pleased with the performance.
We gave wigan one heck of a game in the 2nd half. To fightback from such a deficit on this occasion, against the best team in super league shows the immense determination and character of this team. For that, we should all be thankful.
I hope none of our players or officials mention a word about any 50/50's. Wigan scored more points, and for that, deserved to win.
One thing I'm proud of is when we win, players like sinfield show a tremendous amount of dignity and class. The same in defeat.
I think a certain individual could learn from that today.'"
Ryan hall mentioned winning with dignity in one of his post match interviews, I've nt doubt he logged on after the CC and read my inspirational words.

It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg |

| On this subject - hat's off to Tony Smith who (as ever) was gracious in defeat on Friday.
I particularly liked his first comment to the BBC [i"You know they're tenacious and they deserved to win on the night"[/i
That one word sums up this team pretty well if you ask me.

Goes down as Leeds post war legendary coaches /managers /etc Ken Dalby/Dai Prosser/Joe Warham/Roy Francis//turner and the geat Syd hynes carried on the legacy of Roy Francis/then came the Tony Smith era we are still seeing that now.I still think of his comments after the 2010 cc final he reffered to us as our opponents,not Leeds.He's LEEDS ,he's leeds and he knows he is he's leeds
