It may be 10 years but the memory of that day is still vivid!

I always remember when Sculthorpe missed that late conversation in normal time a number of fans behind us left thinking there wasnt enough time left for Leeds to score. I wonder how often they regret that decision....?

"He's the best coach I've had... His mix of man-management and his game plan is second to none. Since Brian Mac has been in charge, we've been in every final so far. I love playing for him. I can't praise him enough, I've so much respect for him and I hope he's here for a very long time." Kevin Sinfield 29/9/12:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_68506.jpg

icon_lol.gif I must be getting old if I even got the competition wrong.

Yep, Leeds end. I was standing behind the sticks that day thinking this team will never win any silverware ever again...

Edit: apparently it was Sunday, November 8th, 1992. 15-14 to Saints, Jim Fallon and Gary Mercer scored tries for us...

And last but not least, to all those people that wrote this team off, to all those people that criticized this team...tonight's for you, thank you. I'll tell you this now, of all the sportsmen I have ever seen, this guy is the most impressive. Clare Balding 6/10/12:37727.jpg



It only seems a short time ago that I was at Wembley...watching us win the Challenge Cup..two years running!!
However, those barren years of the 80's and 90's dragged at the time!
Thankfully a long distant memory now....but still one of the reasons this last decade has been so special.

When I think now about the 80s 90s now I feel like I've lost almost 20 years from my life.We had a few false dawns too

Leeds Rhinos? 8 for you, Leeds Rhinos! You go, Leeds Rhinos. And none for Castleford Tigers. Bye!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1140.jpg

From memory, the false dawns in my time watching Leeds:

Crooks and Schofield joining, along with Gurr, Tunks, Morris and Jackson, beating Wigan in the JPS Trophy at Bolton
Winning the Yorkshire Cup
Gallagher joining (best player in the world!)
Laughton arriving, along with lots of signings
Getting to Wembley!
Murray turns up and shows what a real coach could do. He actually did manage to coax the sun above the horizon for a bit.
The semi-final in 2003.

Then came the real dawn (although in 2006 it started to feel like another false one, with comments like 'wasn't 2004 supposed to be the start of a dynasty?')
