| Thoroughly enjoyed it, not quite what I expected. This is not a rugby league film as such. Focus is more on the inner workings and inter-personal relationships. Parts got me quite emotional. My partner (not a RL fan) even found it really emotional, as well as funny, and I think it has sparked a wider interest in her for the game, or at least the people inside the shirts.
I quite liked that it wasn't game action heavy, but I think more behind-the-scenes footage could have been a nice touch. Actually catching some of the tense moments talked about on camera would have been immense.

| How much do you think Match Footage costs? I'd bet not much at all. The Golden Decade DVD had all the tries from all the winning finals 2004-2014.
Its probably not a bad thing making this now but there's also clearly space for a 'Golden Generation' DVD down the track. I'm not sure why anyone would expect any serious revelations in this sort of production, especially with so many involved still at the club.

| All the match footage is available elsewhere, and the point of this wasn't to simply go over what happened on the pitch.

| Wasn't blown away by it, but did find it very emotional in parts.
The bit with Sinfield "counting down" till the end of the season was a particular eye opener.

| Just watched this. Recommended viewing for anyone feeling down about recent performances.
I thought it was a pretty decent production overall. Not so bothered by the lack of action. Some really moving stuff.
My wife's favourite moment was the bit where JJB likened himself to Thomas the Tank Engine, questioning whether he was still 'a really useful engine'... It could have done with more moments like this (JJB makes another interesting/amusing insight about Sinfield being the priest and Peacock being the King...).
Of course, JJB's comment raises the question of how many of the current crop of players (and coaching staff) consider themselves to be 'really useful engines'... I guess we'll find out in the coming weeks.

| omg, does it deserve this minuscule min by min detail? take it for what it is which is a story about one if the greatest seasons we will ever see. As a Rhinos fan, the behind the scenes insight is fantastic, the revelations from Rob and Kev equally so. It is dumbed down for the non-RL followers and that is fine, we need more people following this sport. Please enjoy it for what it is.
I am sick of this constant hammering of the club. If you are a fan enjoy, if not then off back to Leeds United.
