You come at the king - You better not miss. It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg



OK we still have some way to go in the SL and would all love to see a treble, but no matter what happens from here in in we know we won't see Sinny and JP in another Leeds team so...

Could 2015 be the best side we've ever had? Regardless of trophies (not) won many would make 2005 the best side of the golden era...are this years vintage better?

I'm not sure the team will feel the same way.

"The Golden Generation finally has its Golden Fleece! They have Wembley Cup Final winners medals to add to their collection." 23/08/2014:



One key bit of advice i'd give is ......savor this time.

Hasn't always been this special and surely won't always continue. When I've read the stories of HKR fans just happy to see their team at Wembley, we Leeds fans should remember how lucky we've been for the last 10 years.

From my perspective of supporting the team since 1978.....I'd say yes. Definitely....

As JP himself said after the game he has been 'blessed' to play in such a great team: similarly we have been 'blessed' to be part of this perhaps never to be repeated era in my lifetime at least. As Printer states we can't expect this to continue forever.....(surely not?). The continued praiseworthy recruitement however continues to gives us every chance.

Replacing Sinfield and Peacock is going to be nigh on impossible though. As McDermott said, they are hardly being carried into their twilight performances. They are both playing at least as well as they have ever done. Incredible.

They built that Wembley statue too early !!!!

"He's the best coach I've had... His mix of man-management and his game plan is second to none. Since Brian Mac has been in charge, we've been in every final so far. I love playing for him. I can't praise him enough, I've so much respect for him and I hope he's here for a very long time." Kevin Sinfield 29/9/12:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_68506.jpg



The ethos of the club is definitely the best in my lifetime. And I think this might be more significant than the personnel.

It seems we can acquire new players from all over the place and they settle into our way of doing things very quickly. The management deserve most of the credit for this careful, patient transformation of the club.

It is a concern whether that ethos can survive the departure of Peacock and Sinfield who, let's face it, are the living epitome of the integrity I'm on about. For the record, I think it can and I believe this club will become, in time, just as big and successful global brand as anything Russell Crowe can muster.

This Leeds team has quality that cannot be denied but best ever is hard to judge when the quality of SL teams is very poor.

Among Wigan supporters, saying that the standard of SL is very poor is just a proxy for the fact that their own team is sh*te this season.

It isn't the best team.

It's the best club. Too many people think this is all about the 17 guys in the shirts but what Leeds have built under Hetherington and caddicks vision/support is so much more.

Massive congratulations to everyone involved with the club.

It's great just to sit back & enjoy it knowing the lads involved have the skills and game management to win massive occasions like today. Following the club from the late 80's, I never thought I would ever see a Champion Leeds team like this one.

Hopefully, we can continue our success long after Sinfield and JP leave the club. In a similar way to the way Barca have done in making themselves "more than a club" in football.

And we don't know when we'll see the like again- it could be next year, it could be 40 years away.

It seems all are in agreement that it's the best since 2005 (at least) and we should enjoy it while it lasts.

"As you travel through life don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things" - George Carlin [url:2cg5oc2o]http://twitter.com/AndyGilder[/url:2cg5oc2o] [url:2cg5oc2o]http://fromthewesternterrace.blogspot.co.uk[/url:2cg5oc2o] This week: Four keys to a Rhinos win in the WCC:Transparent Backgrounds/Waldorf.gif



Hard to compare eras, but it's less than 12 months since this side (plus a couple of additions) couldn't buy a win for six weeks and crashed out of the playoffs at home to possibly the worst away side in the competition.

Bit OTT to be describing it as the "best Leeds side ever".
