[Cheshire Setter]

How many times have the players done that during the match and that’s the first time it gets picked up? 

[Futtocks]

Leeds 1 up, with five minutes left.

[Cheshire Setter]

Controversial match-winner DG based on the penalised tackle?

Shocking. The ref decides to clamp down on it in the 74th minute, after letting maybe 10 examples of it go in the game beforehand. Poor salford

[PEANUT HEAD]

Shocking decision ref.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Cmon Salford!

I think most fans just don't get the context of the tackle. It was a surrender, meaning you don't get to carry out a quick messy ptb and get any benefit in the slightest. It was far worse than other ptbs in the game, it is wrong to say there were many others the same. 

He was lucky not to be penalised.

Surely that was a sin binning.

[GeordieSaint]

Donaldson brain fart...

[Dave T]

Another late winner for the Reds? 

[Cheshire Setter]

Yellow card surely? 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Oh dear 

[Dave T]

Chance there. 

[andyscoot]

Bottled it big time there. Should have gone for the DG.

[Rupert Prince]

2 mins to go and all wr need is a drop goal...  !  But now is all over!!!

[Man of Kent]

Classic final. Wanted Salford to win but Leeds - particularly their pack - thoroughly deserve the win. 

[Dave T]

Frustrating finish, they may have got the ball back by just making tackles. 

[GeordieSaint]

Oh dear... Salford lost their composure!

[Futtocks]

Looks like that's it. Penalty to Leeds, and they can slow their game down for the remaining seconds.

[Davo5]

2 dumb plays have sealed Salford’s fate

[Dave T]

Great final, great game, well done everyone. 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Well done Leeds, unlucky Salford.

[Futtocks]

Kevin Brown - 4 CC final defeats for 4 different clubs. An enthralling contest for both good and bad reasons.

[Hela Wigmen]

Devastated not to be there today and for everyone else who would have been there today. That was an absolute classic and we’ve all missed out on that. A superb game today from both sides and both sets of players have given their all. 

Congratulations to Leeds, commiserations to Salford, that was excellent. 

[moorside roughyed]

What a game! A shame for Salford with two Oldhamers amongst their ranks. We'll done Leeds. What a cracking game played in a very different environment.
