Conceding six penalties and knocking on six times with one forward pass and one loose offload suggested a more controlled performance than is usual from Leeds this season.
Unfortunately they were below par in lots of other areas. Failure to score when it was harder not to, last tackle plays, kicking game, the number of times Sinfield was driving the ball in on the 5th. Lauitiiti's non-selection in favour of Kirke and Ablett, especially Ablett.
Whilst full credit should be given to Warrington, the idea that they were somehow 'unstoppable' is a nonsense. The only genuinely close to unstoppable British team I've seen was Wigan in its heyday when they really wanted to win. No other side before or since has been unbeatable.
What cannot and shouldn't be hidden is just how poor Leeds were on the day. Quite frankly at times they looked like a rabble.
3 consecutive Grand Final wins and a Challenge Cup Final and they owe you an apology? You should have been a Hull fan at the 1983 final if you wanted to see a performance worthy of an apology.
Quote="podman"Apology? You are so Sad. We were beaten in the FINAL by a better side. You should apologise for your Stupid childish comments. The Club that I have supported since 1966 has now got the best team ever. You had better face up to the fact that in Rugby league you sometimes loose a game.
If I may put my six penneth in?
As a neuteral,I thought ON THE DAY that Wire were the better side.
I am probably putting my foot in it here,but I have always admired Leeds style of play.
Every team has a dip at sometime,and unluckily for you ,it was on cup final day.Can`t see why players have to apologise.They didn`t lose on purpose.
