Yes I think this side probably is...those last 3 weeks! Huddersfield, Saints and W*gan...astonishing stuff to witness.

We may never see their like again etc.

In my 30 years of watching yes.The 2015 season Will forever be a huge refference point in the Leeds history.I didn't think the 3 in a row could be topped but this does.The way it happened,just fairytale stuff. It doesn't get any better, so gonna soak it up for as long as possible icon_smile.gif

Couldn't agree more....I think it will take a long time to sink in. It really has been a phenomonal historical achievement....and we witnessed it. As you say the '3 in a row' was huge...but this !!! I have supported the club to varying levels for 37 years. To think at one time in the past I was happy when we won the Yorkshire cup at Elland Road with such favourites as Carl Gibson....and now this !!!

After the CC win going into that very tough super 8s the will to keep going ,in theGF you could see it on Wigans faces ' what can we do to this team to put them down and keep them down' and that was 3 games in a row it's all I've been thinking about since Saturday I been looking at every bit of footage on YouTube .our greatest ever team in our greatest ever season it must have been unbelievably hard .' It was an awful game to play' Kevin Sinfield and I know just what he meant.Cant wait for this years book to come out like The History Makers .

"The Golden Generation finally has its Golden Fleece! They have Wembley Cup Final winners medals to add to their collection." 23/08/2014:



We've had many a great night, we might have more in the future, but I doubt anything will top Saturday night as the single greatest night in our history.

- win treble = check
- beat Wigan for the first time in a major final = check
- send our two greatest players (and another club great in Leuluai) off with the fairytale ending = check

The thought that Wigan fans could forever gloat afterwards about sending Sinfield and Peacock into retirement with a defeat was unimaginable.

....and I know you have been a supporter even longer than me !!! I just wish my late dad had been given the chance to see this ....he died in 2009. AND that's the point. Many will NEVER get to see this remarkable period in Leeds' history. WE HAVE.

The last 3 weeks have really been fairy tale ends to games and moments to always remember. Tough comparing eras and all that but I'd say yes. This has been a special era. I started watching at start of 72/73 season and at times thought we would never win anything again. I remember watching stevo beat us in 73 final and we never got really close to being champions in next 25 years. The last 12 have been great and as a few have said treasure it because if we see a team that wins 7 titles in 12 years again we will be lucky. I watched for 32 years before we won one.

Agreed. You could try list a top 10 of greatest games over this Sinfield-era which would include the likes of the first GF win in 2004. Winning the hat-trick in 2009. Finally nailing the CC in 2014, a WCC win at Headingley in 2012 and the playoff semis and GF's of 2011 & 2012. But the 2015 GF easily tops the lot.

Quote: Him "i just don't see any downsides to a heritage round. Each club seems to produce a 3rd shirt most years anyway now so why not make it a retro one.
Ideally I'd have started it off this year with it being 120 years since the sport was founded. Those clubs who are founder members have an obvious target for what they'd make their heritage be about this year.
I'd also be tempted to join it up with Sky. Instead of just a heritage round I'd give each club a separate heritage round, so say round 1 would be Leeds, round 3 Wigan etc. Get Sky to make a programme on each club and their history which could be shown in the days preceding that weekends game. If possible tie in the fixture list with the heritage rounds so if Leeds wanted to they could celebrate say the 68 Final v Wakey and so play Wakey in their heritage round. Really get behind the thing.

I'd have an armed forces round the week prior to the Magic Weekend. Where all the clubs would be encouraged to invite their local regiments and units. Then at the Magic Weekend I'd have an Army vs Navy game in between 2 of the SL games. Invite a load of servicemen & women along, they can fill in some of the empty seats.

We could do a healthy living round. In the build up to the games that weekend all the clubs engage with their local communities on healthy eating/exercise etc. Again get Sky to do a programme on one of the clubs they'll be showing that weekend on how the players stay fit and healthy, can show clubs conditioners etc. These kind of programmes cost sod all to make and fill up a nice segment for Sky. I reckon they'd be willing to make a few one-off programmes throughout the year.

At the moment all these kind of things are left up to individual clubs to do as and when and how they feel. So it's all a bit disjointed and varies widely in the time and effort and professionalism put into it. But if the RFL started actually leading this sport then I think things like this could have an impact.

I'm glad to see Wigan are taking games to London, I just hope they come up with a consistent venue and time of year and stick with it. But it could do with RFL support too.'"

Uh hum!! Army v Navy? I think you'll find the dominant RL side of the services is ours. Perhaps have an Inter Services Grand Final. This year an Inter Services Origin match was played, the only issue being that it was at Salford.

I'd rather the armed forces have nothing to do with RL or sport. They do what they sign up to do and that's up to them but don't see what it has to do with sport. It's like being at Sea World with a military thing before it.

Like the idea of healthy eating round. Not something I'm good at but at least it's something positive!
Could ban burgers and pints for one week and replace with other healthy but tasty things!

I remember 1957 but only a boy and that decade wasnt a dominant one .It wasn't untill 1961 that I started to understand and people told me we have never won't the title,but that was only one season that team broke up and we went into a dip untill about 1966. I have always related to the Roy Francis era and his legacy afterwards,the generation before me it was the 1930s Jim Brought etc.I never thought I would see an era like this and I am around the memorial garden I think of those whose ashes are buried there
