The battle had started, Leeds constantly giving out cheap shots. Laughing in the faces of the St Helens players when decisions went there way (most of the night).

When emotions kicked in and the result was confirmed. Leeds went gunning for the St Helens players, they wanted to hurt them. Saints players stood firm and took the hits.

With one minute to go and Leeds finally getting the ball. Saints defensive line drew there line and was gunning for the runner, who would take it in ? Peacock, Leuluai, Bailey, Burgess. Who would take on the Saints line and take some biff ? The answer was..... NOBODY! a pussy kick from Sinfield to end the game. Soft bast*rds!

Would certainly be nice to get one over on them but it doesn't look like it will happen. They've beaten off challenges from much stronger sides than the one we have no in the past 2 seasons.

Have you just watched Private Ryan?

True. However the bulls sides where superior to us in 99 and 02 imo. We was Superior to Leeds in 07 and 08. We have a chance, a very good chance.

Beaten 18-10 by a team of soft bast*rds!!! The mighty Saints????





for the 2 points!

The history books would say otherwise I believe.

Will the history books will only show the grand final results then?

As its the one that matters...yes. I know we have all been over this many times, but the team that wins the grand final is denoted as the champion (Best, superior, No 1 call it what you will) team for that year.

Those are the accepted rules of the competition that all clubs sign up to at the start of each year.

If Leeds win the hub cap this time round then it will be an achievement slightly better than winning it in 2004 or any year since, as this years regular season was a more ballanced fixture list.

If Leeds win the GF again then they will be the best team of 2009.

If your guys do it, I will not have a problem accepting them as the champion/best team of 2009.

Simple really isnt it!

Being old enough to have seen it, I sence a bit of deja vu here. I`m from the glorious side of The Pennines, but still can`t understand why the Staines seem to think they have the hold on everything. They are nothing compared to Wigan in the 80`s. You`re right, Leeds deservedly own the Minor Sheild (IMO still the best club acheivement). It`s not over yet, but congratulations on winning it. Hudds for the PO`s unless we`re there.( that would be a nice??final Leeds v Hudds)

Can one of the Mods correct the poor saps thread title? It's embarrassing!

Translation.....BAD LOSER
