I was just wondering which is our best Grand Final win in the last 10 years?

I quite like our 2004 win over the Bulls icon_biggrin.gif

I would personally go for the 2007 win. After the qualifying semi at Knowsley Road, I knew should we progress we had them (Saints) beat. The atmosphere was amazing all day and I very rarely saw any Saints fans all day and if I did they were getting tunnelled through the masses of Leeds fans with a barrage of songs.

Plus Scotty scored one of the best tries I have ever seen and confirmed his position as one of my favourite players.

yes That final was one you all dream about when you team goes out and play's the near perfect game i.e pleasing to the eye.
Scotty's try is one that will be forever talked about,just like in a few weeks time at the 1961 reunion they will be talking about Wilf Rosenbergs try against saints in the championship semi.
Although as great a feeling that win gave me I'm leaning to the 2008 GF ,This time the Saints were really crowing,Anderson said"IVE NEVER BEEN MORE CONFIDENT"Jammer and a few other saints players were saying things like"this year we wont bottle it"and after walloping us 38-10 in the previous play off game we couldnt blame them for being confident,but Bluey got them up for it.This GF the 2008 was the one for me.

2004. First time is always the best. 2004 was a sweet, sweet moment having waited so long.

The team didn't quite click in the devastating fashion that the 2007 team did on GF day but for me it was 2004.

Has to be 2004 for me, the feeling of getting the monkey of our backs was immense.

I'd go with that. But the way we tore the invincible Saints up in 2007, and being able to enjoy those last 10 minutes with the game already won, make it a close run thing.

2004 without any doubt - finally lost the choker tag and capped the best season the Rhinos have ever played and personally a great year too.

2004 will always be special as it was the first for me after such a long wait. 2007 was the best performance and 2008 the biggest surprise - I genuinely thought we'd get beaten that day but the other years I thought we could/would win. I haven't mentioned 2009 but, let's face it, any day you win the Championship is a very good one, especially if, like me, you were brought up in our 'trophy drought' of the 80s and 90s.

As someone who was born in the 70's, it has to be 2004.

Never forget that as the scrum formed after Robbie Paul knocked on, I said to my Dad that I had a feeling Danny McGuire was going to score in the next set.

2004! As soon as Danny went over for that try it was the realisation that the wait was over! Those last few minutes were great!!!

The stand behind the posts at Old Trafford nearly fell over as McGuire emerged the other side of the defenders for that last try in 2004. What a moment, I don't think I'll ever have a feeling like that again watching the Rhinos. For McGuire to score the clinching try was just so fitting, the monkey coming off our back when at times 2 years earlier we had looked a million miles away. Never heard a Leeds crowd so loud and jubilant. Great great final. After that it goes 2007, 2008, 2009 for me I'm afraid, not that I didn't enjoy all of them immensely!

Anyone else close to tears when Danny went over or was it just me? The only time I have ever nearly cried at a sports event.

Oh yeah, and 2004 if I didnt make it clear above.

I was in Albufeira in Tanya's bar and i was crying my eye's out. My girl turned to me and said "what you crying for?" "Ive been waiting over 24 years for this moment" was my reply. Even now just thinking about that point has brought a little surge of emotion and a tear to my eye.

2004 for me, when we finally won for the first time. I Also enjoyed 2008 as I dont think we were given a chance by anyone in the media and the saints team.
