Hardaker, Briscoe & Hall were the reason Leeds were playing in the Cas half after just 2 or 3 tackles.
Huge difference in class compared with Dorn, Carney, & Dixon who were awful & barely made 10/15m in 3 tackles.
True Carney `monstered' Briscoe a couple of times but surely you want more than that from a winger?

which is what we pay him to do , game clincher in the semi and another at Wembley , Tom Briscoe by plenty.

If you did not mean to cause offence why mention it? Your cast offs have achieved more than you this year and are probably quite pleased not to be playing for you.

Good to see some Leeds fans have nothing better to do on a bank holiday weekend than roam round RLFans trying to find people who support other clubs and not Leeds

In 2005 I remember they were gracious losers but a few can't manage to be gracious winners

Leeds fan behind me at Wembley was asking what was going on every time anything of note happened because he was busy telling his mates(also Leeds fans) how good Leeds are

and carney did what? did he turn up?

briscoes kick returns and kick chase were top class. you know the old saying side before self? thats what he did today

best part of briscoes game, remember tony smith commenting on him after we had beaten warrington at their place a couple of years ago, you will struggle to find a better back in the league who returns the ball and puts your team on the front foot!

The Hull fan in me disliked seeing Leeds lift the trophy. The RL fan in me thought it was about time the heart of that Leeds squad got their hands on the famous trophy. Whatever people think of Leess you have to say that Burrows McGuire Sinfield etc are the type of players we wish we had in our team. Born winners who buy into and respect a culture at the club.
We blah on about our potential but until we get that kind of culture at our club then we will continue to watch Leeds win stuff while we totally under achieve.
I thought it was a very disciplined performance from Leeds. They never gave Cas a sniff. That you have to admire.
We need to stop with the egos at our club and aspire to be Leeds. I know that is not what some wish to hear or read but it's a fact. They develop stars (maybe not world class stars) but stars of our game and win. They are not afraid to discard those not buying into the culture and when they do buy players they compliment what they already have. Their challenge is now to replace Peacock Sinfield McGuire etc and maintain their enviable record.

I still dislike them intensely though

In all honesty I'd say that the Leeds model has been as effective if not more so than Wigans. So yes as I said I'd follow Leeds lead not Wigan.

A coach who failed just as badly as Radford during his time at London, and who many people expected to be a disaster at Leeds.

Go figure.

Bullcrud!..McDermott got Quins to 7th in his first season by winning 6 out of the last 10 games after Tony Rea left..no mean feat given their squad. They were 9th the following 2 seasons. Yeah, the last two seasons London were gash, but so was their squad..but us with a much better squad have fared worseunder the pub landlord than London did under McDermot
If you think the savant that is Radford would have improved that London team and done better than what BM did then you're truly deluded!

Or are you going to say that 7th, 9th & 9th with a far weaker squad is a worse result than 12th with a superior squad??
