| "To all those people that wrote this team off, to all the people that criticised this team, tonight's for you."
Yesterday’s speech was fantastic. Should be engraved under a statue of Sir. Kev holding up a SLGF trophy at Headingley. Not just yet, when he retires.
[iI can not believe that he has lifted
2 WCC, 5 SL and 2 LL.
[iAs well as taking us to (even if we lost)
1 SL Final, 4 CC Finals, 2 WCC Finals
Under Sir. Kev's leadership we have attended 14 finals out of a possible 27 ( 51.8% of finals including WCC's that you can only get to by winning a final each year). Not forgetting we will play in the 2012 WCC and I have not included that into the statistics.
Another interesting stat is that under Kevin’s we have won 50% of the finals we have attended. That it good going since 2003!
His personal records aside, his leadership can speak for itself.

| Note to Keith Senior... equipped with the requisite levels of intelligence and diplomatic skill, it's entirely possible to get your point across that some people are tools without actually calling them tools. That's where you fall short.

It could be bettered by a post from you which outlined your real opinion about Buderus' contribution this season and in particular over the last 2 weeks. I'll make it easy for you - don't mention or compare him to Diskin or try and justify his signing

However, how about we discuss a player I have steadfastly supported all season long? A player I have maintained is a big match player, a game breaker and a champion. A player most posters were happy to discard for Rangi Chase.
Let's discuss the 2 time Harry Sunderland Trophy winner. What a game eh? And what a piece of history, garnering all 37 votes. Wow.
Buderus had a very good game but Rob Burrow, a home grown English Rhino, and another Academy product walking away with a man of the match in a big final, had an historic game. Why don't we focus on that rather than an import who is heading out the door by his own choice?

Absolutely! Burrow off the bench has taken rob to a different level from solid performance to genuine impact and game changing ability! Burrow has regained his best form. Wakey fans think he's going to them? I bloody hope not.

I agree with everything you've said, I often do. I just wondered if you could bring yourself to truly compliment Buderus and his two world class hooking performances in the last 2 games. He might not be as flashy as Monaghan or Roby but he's equally as good IMO and is a bloody massive hole to fill, especially defensively.
Burrow is without a doubt the biggest game breaker we have at the club. I stick by my sentiments which I've expressed since 2004 that we are more effective in big games against strong packs with Sinfield at 6 and one of Burrow or McGUire on the bench. This allows us to dominate the early exchanges and bring a player on who can make a huge impact. Burrow did with two of the most creative bits of individual brilliance I've ever seen in a Grand Final. Neither of those breaks were easy tries to score once the initial break was made and yet he took both superbly.
In G1 agenda style mode though - let's not pretend he's had a brilliant season

And with the greatest respect, I think that means an awful lot of the people who post regularly on this forum.
It was a fantastic performance by Leeds last night, I really enjoyed the game and thought both Sinfield and Brian Mac were very good with their after match speeches, their diplomacy spoke volumes and other than your resident thug Bailey, who I detest with a passion, I was pleased for all the players, who I felt got their just deserts.

| Sir Kevin's speech made me ashamed of myself.
I'm OK now though. I've been wrong absoltely LOADS of times, and rarely enjoyed it more than on Saturday night.

| To be fair, Sinfield also said that the Leeds fans were 'the best in the world'. His comments were aimed more at various pundits and members of the RL media. Both he and McD have confirmed that performances earlier this year weren't good enough, which is exactly right. People paid out good money to watch some of the tripe that was served up and as such, were well within their rights to be unhappy. Only the odd couple of people categorically wrote the team off - most people just told it as it was and stated things needed to change. Things changed, and we are champs!

I know that feeling!!
To be fair though.... I don't think there's many (if any!) that can say they've spent all season believing!

But sadly there were more than the "odd couple of people who wrote" the coach off!
