It was odd how you put so little pressure on Sinfield's kicks. I thought the major thing with McGuire being out was that Leeds lost their second kicking option so it would make the late tackle plays easier to read and close down, as happened in the CC final. As it was Sinfield managed to put almost all of his kicks exactly where he wanted them. I don't think Burrow or Lunt kicked the ball once.

Its true well done leeds we were outplayed by Leeds' tactics and we had no comeback as long as they were kicking to charnley (who would usually be Tomkins first receiver of course) he was played pretty much out of the game and that hurt us in the metres as that's usually good for at least ten metres so we were going from 1st on the 25-40 to 1st on or around our own 10. There were other things but I think that hurt us the most.

after watching the first half it almost seemed like leeds had last week off wigan looked tired they had no energy at all leeds looked sharp and never let us get a look in all credit to them. im afraid you cant win against top class teams by playing 40 mins best team won and i have no complaints. well done leeds.

Can I congratulate both teams on a great game of rugby league,a pleasure to watch and it shows great games dont have to be high scoring games.Hats off to the wigan supporters for giving leeds the credit they deserved,I thought a couple of bad decisions by silverwood were going to give wigan the game.Justice was done but both teams a credit to the game.!

They did that in the cup semi final as well. Wane has been out-coached twice by McDermott.

He knew exactly how to win v Wigan so we can have no complaints.

I thought last night was a great game and both sides give 100%. Hope our game tonight will be as good.

I really enjoyed it!

Yes, well played Leeds.

Yet again in a tough, close game they found a way to win which is what winning teams do.

We could have done with a bit more composure, but a brilliant match of Rugby League.

Could have gone either way in those last five minutes, Leeds looked shot and we had their line begging. Somehow they got to midfield and pumped the ball up to great effect, had us scrambling and panicking ultimately giving an easy penalty away!

A never say die attitude from a great cup side. Reminiscent of our days in the 90's when we won the games that mattered despite not playing particularly well.

A fine performance from leeds a televisual feast and a bum twitching last 5 minutes , I was lucky enough to watch the game at a fine Chinese restaurant in skipton last night on a huge screen. With all the commotion at the final whistle I even managed to disappear out the rear door before I got collard for my meal. A most enjoyable evening looking forward to tonights feast .

Im very dissapointed but the best team on the day won and we can have no complaints. I feel cheated by my own team as twice this season on big occasions when its mattered we have played terrible. Leeds had all the answers and made us look flat and average. Our creative elements need sorting for next season as we were very predictable and the kicking was poor.

Credit where credits due, they just know how to get the job done one way or another. We need to learn how to get the job done just like they manage to do. Theres no good bashing everybody up all season then doing that.

After seeing the way McDermott out-tacticed (ha new word there) Wane maybe Wane needs someone to do our tactics for him. Maybe he should just be a bit of an enforcer.

First of all, I don't like this thread. It's just not right! Can we go back to the way we were last week please?

There's been a few mentions of your attack, I think a lot of that comes down to you not having the option of Tomkins coming around on the second phase. I know it sounds obvious but give me a second! Without him everything comes easier to read because we never had the fear of him joining the line and doing what he does best.

Wane seems to be copping a bit of stick too. I think next year will be a massive test for him with the departures of Finch etc. A tough start could cause him some problems.

Finally, what a game! Both teams going at a 100%. I wish we saw more games like this every week. I made the comparison between Leeds and Arsenal last night. We get a lot of stick for "playing when it matters" but is that our fault? The structure of the comp is broken and we play it to our advantage. McDermott guiding us to fifth was a stroke of genius!

Enjoy a few beers this weekend and now doubt we'll be back for more of the same next year!

Well played Leeds! You fully deserved to make the Grand Final!

The better side won on the night. If we had Tomkins and McIlorum in the side I think the result may have been different but thats all academic now. Well done Leeds

'Arguably' being the operative word.
If 'all-round' means having a complete skill-set then Sinfield's (at times extraordinary) kicking game and his tactical awareness put him streets ahead. In all other areas I don't think (and the stats bear this out,) that there's much to choose between them.
