An amazing game played by two totally committed sides, with the score regularly changing between the teams.
As above Wood, Sinfield and several others put their bodies on the line for 80 minutes. No whinging at the referee, no tripping over themselves, no falling over, no complaints from the losing manager about the referee or the amount of time the clock was stopped for, no tweets from idiotic and overplayed players about the RFL, no arguments about who is going to shake who’s hand, no racist incidents, no violence between the fans etc.
Our pampered Premiership football players should take note! And football managers should take note of Tony Smith, the Warrington coach (who formerly managed Leeds) congratulating every single Leeds player. Can’t imagine Villas Boas congratulating the Chelsea team.
An amazing year of sport has only been let down by football, Hamilton throwing his toys out of the pram, and the Pietersen fallout in cricket. One day these prima donnas will realise how privileged they are to be playing sport professionally, when millions of others would love to do it for nothing.
Congratulations to Leeds Rhinos!
