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.

... and an unfit McGuire who otherwise could have got their a clear first.

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.

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.

LEEDS
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
