The signing of Garbutt just proves that you can have all the flair in the world, but there's no substitute for good old fashioned size, and physicality. He's Kylie with a better engine.

3 of those 5 tries took some scoring as well. The first one, granted from a HKR viewpoint some of those grabs at Briscoe were pitiful but he still had plenty to do when he got the ball.

The 2nd one (the 90m try) he did very well to finish. Sio is a big lad and I thought he might be able to tackle him and they slide out of touch with the slick ground but Briscoe braces himself great and doesn't end up being moved sideways at all on contact.

The 5th one is my favourite, he just dances through the defence.

I was really happy he did well. Some great trys and hard graft too

Well played every mistake was punished you were ruthless we have giving you some good games over the last few years but yesterday wasn't one of them hope you go on to win the grand final and hope JP can instill a winning mentality into us next season

Lance Todd voting

Briscoe - 18
McGuire - 4
Sinfield - 2
Peacock - 1

Watkins perhaps unlucky not to get any votes but their could only ever be one winner when you score 5 tries in a final.

Briscoe's final try reminded me of John Atkisnon's in 1978 on the opposite flank.

I'm surprised Peacock got so few Lance Todd votes. I know you have no option but to give it to a lad who scores 5 tries but Peacock was the best player on that pitch, IMO.

Watkins was also very good, setting up a number of tries.

A bit belated but well done yesterday, I can only imagine how good you feel. Got the train back to Leeds after the match and all those I met were good people. We all say we hate Leeds but.......Secretly. Haha Seriously Congratulations

Think Rovers deserve some credit too. I think some teams would have displayed a fair degree of grubbiness under similar circumstances. Good luck in the 8s, not that you'll need it.

Well that escalated quickly.

Clearly my "arrogance" was well placed.

Think what probably cost Watkins votes for the Lance Todd was that he played his best stuff when the game was effectively over and Rovers were running on empty. Wasn't quite as impressive in the first 50 minutes as he was in the last 30.

I did get paid out on this. £195 paid quite nicely for the tickets.

Pity you didn't bet on five. Wonder what the odds would have been.

And as Delany said what odds for him getting first try?

The comments last year were around his frailties in certain games during the run in last season and especially his inability to catch a simple pass when it really mattered. Easier to score tries against a poor opposition when the pressure is limited than in high pressure games when your technique really needs to stand up to more exacting scrutiny?

It seems those incidents have been erased from your memory in the euphoria of what was little more than a training run.

No the comments were he was rubbish, and we should get rid. Not a critisism of one incident.

Considering I was defending him, and have continually kept the same opinion of him since his hull days, I can hardly be smug over one match. That was just an highlight of how much class the lad has.
