How many quality names were missing fron NZ side, plus the long flight from down under, plus most of the side had not played for 4/5 weeks.
I was surprised by the Leeds team, but there again it was probably tactics to throw the ball about against a jet lagged team, but it did them well for an hour before the visitors got into match mode and controlled things.BATEOTD it was only a training run out for NZ.'"
Bet you're the life and soul at a party.....
ATEOTD it was an exhibition and legend send off game between the all conquering, treble winning, legend making Rhinos and New Zealand - the result didn't really matter, but it was hugely entertaining and a great way to sign off a great season and the careers of some legends.
Couldn't be happier with the evening or the club at the moment!

| Great (money-spinning) way to end the best season in our history.
I hope all those playing can now have a good break & come back refreshed raring to go into a very important pre-season to set them up to defend all 3 trophies.
Thanks for a fabulous 2015.

| Putting it another way; if England went over in similar circumstances and played a North Queensland team missing 12 players, people would be ridiculing them for being behind after 60 mins.

Absolutely, they were under strength and jet lagged. Can't understand why they didn't pick an easy beat team as warm up. I'm sure they could have found a weaker team in West Yorks, one that can't stand up on the big occasions, to give them an easy win with a 60 point margin. That lot that used to play out of Fartown, what are they called again?

| That was as close to their Test team as New Zealand could muster given the players unavailable. They've been here the best part of a week, so don't buy all this jetlagged/rusty nonsense.
For an hour, I think they were taken aback by how well Leeds played. They struggled to put together combinations, and it wasn't until they went more direct down the middle that they started to dominate. They couldn't get their talented outside backs into the game.
If England can match up down the middle of the field, I don't think there's any reason for them to be worried about what else the Kiwis can throw at them.

They'd get hammered by the RL press and "Experts" alike!

Leeds needed the refs intervention to get anything out of the last game at Huddersfield, and you know it. So that was a lucky break for you that won you the LLS. And officials again in the GF won it for Leeds. It just seemed to be that the RFL wanted Leeds to do the treble at all costs for Sinny and JP.

Did the RFL take control of mcguire and grix's brain to engineer that LLS winning try as well?

Aye that's why the refs gave both Hudds and Wigan kickable penalties in the 2nd half for them to extend their leads
Riddle me this, if Hicks was going for a Leeds win, why go to the screen for Hall's try at the end? What if the video had shown something worthy of disallowing it? Seems a strange thing to do if he was going for a Leeds win.

Hahahahahahaha!!!!
Of all the excuses for the Giants repeated big game failings down the years, that's a belter. You had a chance to win something. You failed. Again. No conspiracy, no plot, just outright failure. Think you'd be used to it by now.

T'was the Refs Fault, the perpetual battle cry of the fans of serial chokers
We won the treble, your bitterness will be forgotten by all but you, the achievements of Sinny, JP, Kylie and the rest of the Rhinos will stand in the SL record books for ever. Maybe next season for the Giants eh

The luckiest break of all was that your bottle-less team bent over at Wigan. You'd have been flayed at Old Trafford and you know it.

No need to add much to what has already been said, but if true Grix and the bounce of the ball were an integral part of the conspiracy at your ground.

| Well, Well, you have all got wound up after that
But to be fair CC apart when we never got off the bus, there has been very little between the sides this season and I think some of the jibes at Huddersfield are uncalled for. Each game has been too close to call.
