For me, the most exciting thing is that Burrow & McGuire are still only 26. If they can continue at the standards they've set as long as Long & Cunningham have done, we could be very succesful for a very long time.
I posted this thread nearly six years ago. 3 Super League titles, 1 league leaders shield, 1 World Club Challenge and 1 Challenge Cup later we very much find ourselves in the twilight of this 'golden generation' - think the post above with hindsight as we see is one of the most accurate, kudos to the shout regarding Peacock too.

JP of course and then there are a few more just behind who will be synonymous with this legendary era
Soon we will be dancing the Fandango

I remember a few years ago when we attended John Holmes Funeral and the reception in The Taverners Suites I noticed a plaque with names of Leeds RL Legends going back to the turn of the 20th century Sinfields name was there and I now think that Jamie Peacock will be on that Plaque

I would anticipate that Sinfield, Burrow, McGuire and Senior will all make the SS.COM hall of fame when they retire Although i also thought that Bluey should have been inducted by now for the success he brought to our club now that he has retired from our club and these shores http://m.rlfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=14641266
Regarding Rhinos legends where will we draw the line? JP is without a doubt the best signing our club has ever made, To think that we got him for nothing in 2005 and that Wigan paid a £450.000 fee for Fielden a year or so later says it all and he should be rightly described as a Rhinos legend

I think Sinfield and Peacock will always stand on top alone as the biggest from this generation followed not too far behind the likes of McGuire and Burrow and JJB.
Reading some of this posts from 6 years, some more that weren't even mentioned have risen up/come along that will be remembered as Leeds greats, Hall and Ablett are well on their way and for all the debate about whether he should've been kept on you've got to say Leuluai along with Delaney will go down as two of our better recruits from Down Under.

If we are looking at imports who would get legend status over this period i would mark Ali and Webb down as certs along with Kylie who has been superb for the most part of almost a decade.Delaney is close and hopefully will do enough to join them next few seasons.all in my opinion of course.
