I've just watched the 2007 grand final what a performance. I was as excited watching it again as 13 years ago . Weve had some historic tries in our history and Scott Donald's try that night is up there among them

We beat them in both league fixtures that season and were only 1 point behind them on the final league table. It wasn't such a surprise for some of us. The score was, but the result not so much.

Yeah but they'd had the big game hoodoo over us untill that point...

Donald's acceleration as he goes past Wellens is superb. Up through gears, leaving Wellens floundering.

I do have to add that Wellens had many gifts and was a great full back, but pace was not his main weapon.

Wellens is probably the slowest full back of the modern era. He was done for pace by Ali over 70m for crying out loud.

If he came through now, I'm not sure where he'd play.

Had they? I don't think we'd played them in a final since the 1980's? It was Wigan who we couldn't get over in a final. They started to believe their own hype (which was considerable) and I think they showed Leeds too little respect - just like the media. It was even worse the following year, and we out played them again.

They were a good side, but I think they were better a few years earlier. Their battles with Bradford were epic. Is "Joynt's voluntary tackle" still going?

The did hammer us in a couple of cup games in 02 and 04 I think, but they've never beaten is in a final, I don't think.
