New to the forum. First started watching Leeds as a kid in 2004 but after watching the full games on YouTube the last few days, I'm really interested to know which Leeds team everyone rates the highest from the Super League era. I've offered 5 options but feel free to make any other suggestions.
For me it's between the 04-05 team and the 07-09 team, but I'd probably lean towards 07-09.
Thoughts?

I know 05 ended in failure but some of the rugby we played that year was sublime.

It’s a bit of a cheat as they weren’t all at the top of their games but you can put together this team from those who played in 2008. 1 to 13 is particularly strong.
1. Webb
2. Donald
3. Watkins
4. Senior
5. Hall
6. McGuire
7. Burrow
8. Leuluai
9. Diskin
10. Peacock
11. Ellis
12. Lauitiiti
13. Sinfield
14. Ablett
15. Bailey
16. Burgess
17. JJB
Edited - missed JJB (D'Oh!) so Smith has to go.

2004 , Dunneman and Adamson could not get in the Grand Final 17 so that side was pretty hot

The rugby league played by Leeds in 04 and 05 was sensational. Tony Smith did a superb job with the youngsters Powell had brought through.
