Can we just add this on here as a reminder to those gloating...

How many trophies will the Tigers win this year then?

Definitely none.

But as mentioned - I'll take above you in the league, further than you in the playoffs, and the shared financial windfall of the challenge cup.

Now Powell is assembling a squad of his own making, now including halfbacks, I wouldn't be shocked if we pick up a trophy before you next do.

Not bad for a poor little town on your outskirts.

You can make bigger snowballs than us too ... so what !

As I have said before ... Best of luck to you . I really would like to see you win something this season . You deserve it .

We got pipped . You got nilled .. guffaw .

It ain't the end of the world .

I'd definitely be surprised if you do. You may put this down to Leeds arrogance but its not.

As much as I like Powell I think this year is your peak. You'll be without Clarke, Huby and Sneyd next year - arguably your three best players (or at least 3 of your top half dozen)

We have a big transition ahead but some excellent younger players with a lot of experience

Leeds are a quality outfit as everyone knows. It is very difficult to reach a peak for the Cup Final come down and then peak all over for the play offs. Yes Wigan did it last year really that was the exception that proved the rule.

So Leeds will be a force again next year and once again have stocked the trophy cabinet in 2014. The way Leeds started this season with an unbelievable defensive record (9 against per game until way into the season) I did expect them to do even better but it's a long season and with the benefit of hindsight that was never going to be sustained.

Always Leeds players and coaches show class even in defeat. The opposition are given due credit, no hard luck stories, no referee bashing, no excuses. I admire that.

Can't win 'em all Leeds fans. Congratulations to Catalans Dragons on a deserved victory.
With Todd Carney and a rejuvenated Scott Dureau in the ranks they are only going to be even better in 2015.

Pity this is not the GF - bet the players feel this is not enough?

5 in the Dream Team how ?
Perhaps people will finally give us credit for doing the double last season even give the Coach some credit
Bye enjoy your long holiday

Much prettier trophy tho than that monstrosity they award to the champions

Sneyd? Really?

Huby and Clarke are obviously massive losses, but, Chase looked completely irreplaceable and was totally relied upon - Powell takes a championship cast-off and a bottom of the league surplus to requirement halves and we're revolutionised.

Our signings for next season are cherry picked for purpose and we will be a much more difficult side to beat. That's not to say we'll finish as high, but there'll be more consistency, grit and structure.

Think you just contradicted yourself

What is it since that picture....six losses? As a team you are now officially, a spent force

This team could still have one last hurrah in it over the next season or two but the worrying thing is what happens next? The players coming through are hardly ripping up trees and we are going to be having several all time greats in key positions moving on at the same time.

Nope we've only lost 4 game since then
