Naming top 3 is not enough with such a superb display from the whole squad.

1. Burrow - Huge impact and 2 pieces of individual brilliance at key times

2. Buderus - once again led the defence and distribution and big reason why Saints couldn't break through around the ruck.

3= JJB & JP - great efforts from both

5. Sinfield - Gave another captain's display

Notable mentions for Clarkson & Delaney and Hall & Hardaker (who really looks the part at centre on both attacke and defence)

1 to 5 - the same.

Hardaker's defense (needed to and is) getting better week by week. The find of the season - just a pity it's all over (domestically.)

Hardaker is going be an absolute star for us.

So is watkins if he can get an injury free run.

Our backline is gonna be very strong over the coming years with the young talent we have there.

On the back end of the Radio Leeds commentary our former bald headed centre commented that it was the worst performance he'd seen Hardaker make in a Leeds shirt.

I am still an admirer of Keith,but I hope he doesnt become Garry scheofield 11

Pretty much agree with all of that, and I was delighted for young Zak to score that try at the end. It doesnt seem that long ago that he was starring for Fev in a Championship Grand Final, and now look where he is. Am I the only one thinking that he's a bolt on for Keef's no4 shirt next season, he's making that centre birth his own, just needs to work a little on his defensive stuff in the off season. As for Burrow, does anyone think he may be a late contender for Steve Mac and England given his superb performances of late?

Im not sure id disagree, but it goes to show just how good his performances have been this season.

Hardaker was pretty much flawless. Excellent defence and sensible attacking play, and above all great composure on easily the biggest stage he's faced. Certainly better than some centre performances we saw earlier in the season...

1. Burrow
2. JJB
3. Buderus
4. Sinfield
5. Delaney

With mention to Hardaker and also to McGuire's vastly improved defence, Webb who, yes, made a couple of mistakes (one of which should have been a penalty and the other of which led to a wrongly-awarded try) but dealt with a lot of pressure in terrible conditions and scored the most important try of the game, and Clarkson who was great in defence and also ran the ball in harder than I've seen him do previously.

Got to agree JC and to add i honestly think we have to trust Hardaker and Watkins as our new and future centre pairing and get Abbo and Delaney back into the pack F/T.
It was a great effort from 1-17 and i would also add the way BjB and Webb re-gained their composure was a credit to both players.

Burrow, Buderus, Delaney.
Very, very hard to pick, notable mentions to just about everyone else.

thought ablett had a very good game

Burrow
Buderus
Sinfield
JP/JJB

Mention to Webb - from left field as I'm normally a critic but I thought he marshalled the defence brilliantly, scored a massive try and kicked really well

Mcguire's tackle on Wellens at the end of the first half was massive.

Not sure there was a poor performance out there. Even Kirke and Ali impressed with limited game time

Star of the show was little Rob, and to think some folk would have swopped him for Rangi Chase! Hardaker handled the occasion well, and to score a try in the GF must really seal a great season for the lad.

The only question mark I have is with BJB, and his eventual permanent position. Every time there was a high ball in his direction, I wasn't confident in him dealing with it. Harsh maybe, and something I hope he spends a lot of time working on in the close season.

At the mo I see him as a winger rather than the automatic replacement for Webby, which is where I thought he would be making his mark.
