The end of an embarrassing record. : Sun Aug 24, 2014 9:21 am  

Leeds Rhinos have finally ended the worst run of lost Challenge Cup Finals in RL. Having played in 93 finals now losing each one in a row. Captain Sinfield is said to be extremely relieved to finally lay the ghost to rest of Cardiff 1898 when he should have kicked the penalty that would have taken the final against Bradford to a replay at the White city stadium (or was it Boughton I can't remember). Dave Woods and Tanya Arnold have both resigned from the BBC stating off the record that the prospect of not being able to base their enter CC coverage around the question of "is it Leeds' year?" as too much of a challenge. BBC bosses are confident though that they can fill in the gap by just playing the Eddie Waring commentary of Don Fox's missed kick over and over and over again.

You seem bitter.

You've just been relegated.

Relegated.

I'd have thought the CC was the least of your worries.

Your cup final was against our reserves on 1st August. Ours was slightly more bigger yesterday. Enjoy Cumbria.

Not bitter at all. The fact you three chumps have missed the point entirely and have taken it as an attack at Leeds rhinos says more about you.

Not at all. Just take great delight in reminding you boys.

You should just admit defeat and visit a hooker

It seems Leeds fans have left their sense of humour at Wembley

BBC team of the year and knighthoods all round in the New Years Honours.

The McDermott out thread to take a rest for a few days.

In all seriousness, I'm not too fussed the Rhinos finally broke the hoodoo - it was the best chance to do so and it's fair to say the players deserved it.

The fact the world was still turning after the victory was a let down after all the hype though.
