Not as much as 7 though  |

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg |

| Quote: Juan Cornetto "Leeds have appeared in 5 out of the last 6 Grand finals and have won 4 out of 5 with the last three on the trot. Surely this record of success for the most important trophy in our game says it all!'"
It says you can win Grand Finals just now but not everyone thinks that winning the Grand Final is the only measure of success. It may be the only one important to Sky but there are a lot of fans out there who value our other silverware also. So I suppose who is the greatest is very much open to interpretation.
Either way, you still haven't beaten us on the Grand Final wins. |

Very good game on Saturday back and forth, so happy we won to make history but you played very well any other day would have won it.

One thing to bare in mind is that although Leeds have won 3 GF on the bounce this is the first time they have actually won the league.
They have also failed to do anything in the challenge cup in each of the last 4 years.
Compare that to Saints who won 3 challenge cups on the bounce. Won the league 3 times and have made 4 grand finals winning 1.

Leeds have pulled off the greatest achievement in SL by winning three on the bounce. It's a three-way split for the greatest SL club - if you aren't going to include things like CC victories and such.

It's difficult to say. BUt the current leeds team has a tremendous record of grand final success.
played in 5 of the last 6 grand finals

As we see from the recent fortunes of great teams like Saints, Wigan and Bradford you've got to live for now, for next season. The past is exactly that. On Saturday Leeds completed a great achievement but will be measured by what they do next year.

This is like those debates on "Are Man United the Greatest Team of the Premiership era".....cue the Arsenal fans saying no cos in 2003/04 we didn't lose a game, so Arsenal are the greatest.

| Quote: McClennan "Not really. We played had incredible defence that year and with Jamie Lyon on the ouside we were capable of winning every game. Our losses that year were by a grand total of ten points (16-19 at Hudds, 26-27 v Hull, 18-20 at Bulls and 22-26 at Catalans).'"
If you are looking at consistency over an individual season then it would have to be your guys team of 06. Irrespective of who you play in the finals and other teams having bad seasons, as a previous poster has stated, you have to beat what is in front of you and St Helens did that playing fast flowing rugby with players at their prime.
The salary cap system is now kicking in and it could be debated whether the standard has improved or declined going on how many games we are losing season on season.
Either way both were/are great sides |

Ahh Tesco

Destroying Wigans past
"Viva Ben Flower, Viva Ben Flower, could have won the cup but you Messed it up Viva Ben Flower": |

| Leeds for me ain't even the best team in Yarkshire, Bradford are in superleague
3 in a row is amazing but to say they are the best ever is laughable  |

Whether they're the greatest 17 may be doubted, but they've won 3 GFs on the bounce which no one else has done. They won them when they've been top dogs and they've won them as underdogs. Fair bloody play, I reckon.
The game will ebb and flow and in a few years there'll be another team on top claiming that they're, in some way, should be counted as the greatest SL team - and Leeds, Saints and Bradford fans will probably all dismiss them as [inew money[/i.

They'll need to do something unique to claim it though.
sainst were the first team to win super league back to back
bradford were the first team to win grand final and cc double
leeds are the first team to win 3 grand finals on the trot |
