I can understand why he said it becuase he is indeed thick, and also was still in euphoria mode when he made the comment I guess. So I can understand why he said it.

Quote: chris_joynt's_barber "in this weeks r.l.e senior states that leeds rhinos have to go down as "the team of the decade" presumably after the hat-trick of g.f wins? maybe he was all giddy after the final? maybe he's took too many knocks to his bonce and has forgot that in the past decade that leeds have only won one c.c compared to the 5 that saints won in that decade...

thoughts?'"


Credits to Leicester Rhino from the Leeds Board for producing these stats which seems to answer the question for the SL era/period 1998-2009

Team Played Points For Against Diff
Leeds 330 478 10125 6373 3752

this leeds team over the last few years has been building and getting better and better, the likes of sinfeild diskin burrow and mcguire has improved and have become the best core of a team in the league, the odd siging like webb has added LOADS to the team it they wouldnt be were they are now with a judas or mathers

were are 6,7,9,13 this year leon has gone missing since the court case has gone, long has been a shadow of himself for the last two years, cunningham is getting older (i would NEVER get rid of) so playing less mintues on the pitch and we havnt had 13 for about 5 years we need that core back.

the three GF first year they really were the best team no question, last year 50/50 i felt a little hard done by, this year....thats how you steal a championship, and people will always remember that, like they still go on about Chris Joynt..when he slipped

leeds have been good but dont look as bullet proof as we did at our best

ST HELENS = KINGS OF SUPER LEAGUE

But Senior says "team of the decade" which is also the title of this thread and referring to the decade ie 10 seasons 2000 - 2009



Leeds 277 395 8553 5597 +2956

Saints 277 413 8900 5128 +3777

Saints are top in every department!!

Thats without throwing in the CC Stats!!

Fiddle and flower it up as you like but the team of the decade are Saints............by a country mile!!

Defo offside. Leeds have finished top of Super League as many time as Wigan, and Wigan have been utter gash.

CHALLENGE CUP WINNERS 2006,'07 & '08 Giant killers, Dragon slayers & Airlie Birds wing clippers 75-0 thats a record score... 16 yrs of misery, gone in 80 minutes If God took up rugby league then his name would have been Vollenhoven with AJ Murphy along too:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7880.jpg

The problem lies with the concept that the Challenge Cup is devalued because it is nowt but a Knockout comp played by amateur and pro's alike, but is not supported by SKY. Whereas the grand final being a knockout comp for the top eight teams IS supported and hailed by the Sky pundits, aka the Ex-Pat and the Cheshire cat,( who think that THEY are the only voice in rugby league), as being the ultimate final

Hoppe and Iro combination, what a winner that was.
