I don't think there has been as intense a game in the Superleague era as that 18-16 win at Headingley.

The Saints Leeds play-off of 2007 must run it close. Leeds lost both though Can't imagine a game of that intensity between Leeds and Bradford this season.

I don't think Leeds were poor in 2003 by the way, unfortunately for us Bradford were simply red hot. Turning things round in 2004 was a major achievement for Leeds who hadn't won a championship in 32 years.

Yup. Should have squished them in the 04 GF and weren't far off. Wonder how the Leeds squad would have reacted.

'Should have' is a bit strong. By similar logic Leeds 'should have' taken the CC off you in 2003

For once, I'm going to have to disagree with you.

That was a remarkable season, well worthy of a reminisce, where we beat them every which way. A last minute dg, a heartless thumping encapsulated by Anderson's Hand of God, a handy comeback and two games closed out despite holding just a two point lead for the final quarter. Add on the pipping them to the minor premiership and we were just a Grand Final win shy of the full set.

That game at Headingley was probably my favourite, for Les's length of the field effort, and Reardon's demolition job on Danny Mags just before half time.

my favourite too. i brought the wife and it was a great day out. the stewards were telling us to get off the yellow markings but then realised the stand was a bit full.

didn't leeds pick up a fine for overfilling the stadium that time?

If Nobby hadn't have dropped Richard Moore for the returning Paul Anderson we would have beaten them at Old Trafford.

Robbie Paul's knock on probably had a bigger impact.

Considering we've won the only match this year, that was a bit of a daft post really wasn't it?
