Castleford Tigers 6, Leeds Rhinos 24
Congratulations to Leeds Rhinos,
now eight times Champions of the Super League!
“Old Trafford arrived with its traditional Grand Final night down pour but that could not dampen the excitement from both sets of fans as a full house erupted when the teams took the field. The Rhinos were appearing in their tenth Grand Final, the Tigers their first, and it was Leeds who struck first …
The second half saw the Rhinos turn the screw as they pressed home their advantage …
… McGuire added a drop goal in the 77th minute before being announced as the Man of the Match and end a memorable night and career with the Rhinos. Castleford were not to be nilled and Alex Foster crossed for a last minute try and Luke Gale converted in the final kick of the game …
… A fairytale ending for McGuire and Rob Burrow who secured their eighth Super League title in their final game for the club.”
