It is true what was said there.....there were quite a few Leeds supporters who had given up hope mid-season, to old...to slow..etc.
It just goes to show a team with a few old heads can still rise to the occasion for a big effort if the younger players can play with a bit of consistency and get a team into the position to be able to take out the comp....
B-F I also enjoyed reading about young Mullally who was given the opportunity to come down under and play with the Brisbane Bronco's...what a great opportunity for such a young lad and a great idea on behalf of those responsible behind this move...

Rabbits, i think we would all agree that a coach in any sport must be given time and for Big Brian to win a Grand Final in his first season at Leeds shows what a good coach he his. I think his time at Quins RL helped him to come through the problems he had at the Rhinos.
As regards Mullally he done the right thing and i hope other British youngsters do the same thing if they can find a club down under to give them a chance to develop their skills.
