Wonder what would have happened if Peacock and McGuire hadn't picked up those cruciate injuries in 2010? Could we really be looking at 6 in a row?

The injury to Mcguire was crucial, i would have fancied us to beat wigan at home with him in the side.

Quote: The Eagle "
One thing which did strike me was that the scoring pattern was pretty similar for 2004, 2009 & 2012, in that Leeds had managed to claw their way back from a deficit to have a narrow lead defended resolutely (and nervously ) going into the last 10 minutes, then score to take the game beyond the opposition, cue party time in the Leeds end'"


A scoring pattern in all the games,

The last 20 mins of the 6 GF's
2004 Opposition 0

To do that in the last 20 mins of your season in the biggest match of your season takes a special effort.

Possibly, I reckon we would've beaten Saints in the final as they again didn't perform well when they got there. The question is Wigan at home, even with Peacock and McGuire it would've been a tough ask because from what I remember Wigan were brilliant in defence that day.

I have heard many an interview with our players, and every time they talk about looking around at their mates at about the hour mark in a Grand Final, and just knowing they are the men you want to be alongside, that they know what's needed.
That is a quite remarkable stat just the same.

Wow. Thats impressive.

IIRC in the 2 finals we lost I think there was only a penalty by Wigan and a drop goal by Agent Harris scored against us in the last 20 mins.

2004 just for ending all the years of losing in major finals! i had seen us win in 99 and the yorks cup in 88 but to eventually win the big one for me nothing comes close to the raw emotion of that victory, when Danny scored i cried!! and as stated earlier with a mainly home grown team. They have all been special and 2007 was a great team performance but 2004 everytime for me.

All GF wins are superb in their own right just as all GF defeats are cruel.

I voted for 2004 though because of the significance even though it wasn't my first Championship win while following Leeds. The emotion of '04 will never be beaten for me albeit for reasons beyond simply watching rugby.

They are all special, especially for me as I have followed Leeds for over thirty years . As you can imagine I have witnessed many low points so to embark on this run of trophy winning is truly remarkable. My favorite is the last one against the wire. All the pundits had written us off but to win that match after conceding an early try was something special.

I always like what JJB said behind the post in the 2012 grand final as a player mentioned in one of his interviews....
Has they walked back to the posts after Warrington scored the first try,JJB turned to the lads and said look lads we never score first in these finals So true!!! Just shows how much faith they have in each other

I think we would have beaten Wigan in 2010, with Danny in the side, no disrespect to anybody else, he was in the form of his life. The way we beat them at Central Park two weeks before gave me the impression with a full side we would have beaten Wigan. They looked shell shocked after that game, eg the abuse directed at Danny when carried off. But we will never know.

I agree with that. There was a period in that game at HQ when we were putting lots of pressure on their line whilst only 1 score behind but their excellent defence kept us out. I think with the extra attacking threat of McGuire we would have got over the line and gone on to win.
I also think we'd have beaten Saints in the final, which would have been pretty bloody funny.

I agree with both of the above and I also think all those injuries we had in 2010 hampered us too.I came out of Elland road after the WWC thinking we will not only finish top we will win the GF too
