Ok it was London Broncos we played that day, but you can only play with what you’ve got in front of you. But that day saw Leeds create the following records -



Most tries in a CC Final: 4 by Leroy Rivett (Leeds Rhinos v London Broncos in 1999)

Highest winning score in a CC Final: Leeds Rhinos 52 v London Broncos 16 in 1999

Widest margin in a CC Final: Leeds Rhinos 52 v London Broncos 16 in 1999



And equal other records such as -



Most tries by one team a CC Final: 9, by Huddersfield v St. Helens in 1915, and Leeds Rhinos v London Broncos in 1999

Most points a CC Final: 20, (2 tries, 7 goals) by Neil Fox (Wakefield Trinity v Hull in 1960), and (1 try, 8 goals) by Iestyn Harris (Leeds Rhinos v London Broncos in 1999)



Personally I’ve enjoyed watching Leeds most during a cup run because that’s when we’ve tended to be at our best such as that unexpected CC semi final win over St Helens in 2003 and the CC semi final win over the almighty Wigan this year.



In 1999 we beat Wigan, St Helens, Widnes and Bradford on their way to the Final where we faced Broncos. We beat Broncos in a style that hasn’t been seen since in the challenge cup or before in a challenge cup. Do you agree?

I have two unused tickets from this match signed by all the players and the coach.

Nice one





Did you take them unused tickets off people who you deemed not worthy to watch the rhinos by any chance thanks to not been born in the right postcode

No it wasn't the best ever CC Final side



I was thrilled to bit's when the hooter went, and that we had actually won something after all those years!





Let's not kid ourselves about how great we were though Damo

Of course.

Wigan put in better performances against better teams in the challenge cup finals over the years. Whilst Leeds broke the on the day records, its opinions about Wigan that count moar







It’s a bit like comparing Danny Buderus Leeds Rhinos Career to Matt Diskins.

They can't hold a candle to the 1910 team IMO

i'd love that pack next season

A great Leeds team and an outstanding cup run.

The special moment for me was Barrie Mc's try when he must of thought he'd cost us any hope of a CC run against Wigan at HQ when he tried to remove Haughtons suede plus he got my scarf on the lap of honour.

MOAR !!! What sort of word is that ?



Also , try using the word BEING instead of BEEN !!



Here endeth your lesson for today

I'm not so sure about it been the best final or the best team to win in a final. However I would say they were one of the best teams to play in the comp in its history.



At the time we knocked out Saints, Wigan and the Dulls on our march to the final. At the time these were the big three in the league and we were not in the same league as them and just about maintained 4th at the time. To knock these big guns out on the way was a truly special effort and I'd liken it today as us beating Saints, Wigan and Warrington on the road to the final

Saw Leroy Rivett watching East Leeds the other week, whats he up to nowadays ??
