2009 seems to be the only win without some form of backs to the wall type narrative behind it.

Whether intentionally or not BM can't half create a good ol backs to the wall narrative.

He loves his stories and his narratives.

It didn't have a backs to the wall narrative but obviously the hat trick and also got a bit of stick about the previous two years because Saints had finished 1st so a bit like this year they were the "true champions" according to some. Shut them up with winning the LLS in 2009 and backing it up in the GF.

We're the only team who have never failed in the playoffs when we've won the LLS ('04, '09, '15). We've denied other LLS winners 5 times

Saints 07 & 08 GF
Wire 11 SF
Wigan 12 SF
Cas 17 GF

With all the talk about GF's, we've been involved in some absolute belters in the SF's especially Warrington 2011 and Wigan 2012 both away and given little hope especially the Warrington one.

We just laughed at the backwards $, and reminded them it was 2017 with Gary Hetherington at the helm, not 1988 with Alf Davis and his moneybags. The most ironic one was the fat kid singing 'we all hate Leeds scum', with his Cas shirt and Leeds United hat on

Don't give a flying one about those whinging i thought we were very good from 1-17 errors will always occur in those conditions.
Most are only whinging because poster boys Cas got a RL lesson in how to handle & win a GF.
Just as the old saying goes "The Lesson endeth".

They were great games.

Still remember the Burrow McGuire hall combo for the third try.

The Wigan away was a real gritty performance always remember the three tackles after the Burrow no try.

To be fair we have turned up for every final bar the 2005 one.so many great memories its hard to pick a favourite and you could talk all night about them.

When your club wins a GF:
Is there ever a worst Grand Final of all time thought going through your head when you walk away victorious, irrespective of if your a player or a fan?

The only people that didn't like this years GF winners being the Rhinos yet again are clearly all .............Losers

I thought Peacock was going to pull Carmont's head off. Was it JP, Buchanan and Kylie who bent Mossop in half from the tap?

It's Danny's pass to Ryan that gets me. One handed, over his shoulder, yet he managed to make the ball spin so it stayed true as it just dropped in to Hall's waiting hands. Amazing skills.

Couldn't care less what the armchair viewers thought of it. It isn't about them. It's the 73000 who made the trip over who count and half of them are going home disappointed. Fortunately it wasn't us. You couldn't prise the grin off my mush with a crowbar on the tram after the game. Forgive me for not sparing a thought for the Monday morning quarterbacks sat with their Wotsits and 6 pack!

Arcing his run to stay up as long as possible.

There were so many good moments in the match.

Personally it's probably my favourite game.

Yeah then then they smashed another and then a penalty was milked by o loughlin by the Wigan arm grab tactic.

Amazing game, and the atmosphere was bouncing that night. Bedsy showed Micky Monners why he was the best 9 of the modern era with a masterclass and I believe he didn't miss a single tackle! Webby standing Bridge up after receiving a deep ball from Burrow was another special moment as he shipped back inside for Bobs to go under the sticks. Great showing from Leeds

Great 9 Buderus was, but Cam Smith is head and shoulders the best 9 of the modern era

The final may have been a bit boring for nuetrals because Leeds were so dominant in the second half, but I dont buy anyone who is saying that Leeds were not even that good, I think it was our best performance in over 2 years and McGuire put in one of the greatest GF performances of all time
