LEEDS RHINOS AND THE SUPER LEAGUE GRAND FINAL 2011

Early day motion 2226, tabled 11 October 2011 by Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 2 members.

That this House congratulates Leeds Rhinos on being crowned Super League Champions 2011 after winning 32-16 in the 2011 Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford on 8 October 2011; praises the quality of the match and the play-offs as a whole, which have been a great advert for rugby league, and also commiserates with St Helens but congratulates them on reaching and competing so well in a superb final; commends Leeds Rhinos on becoming the most successful rugby league team in the Super League era with five Grand Final victories, four of those coming in the last five seasons; recognises the huge effort the players, coaches and backroom staff at Headingley have put in throughout the whole season; and wishes them luck in representing the Super League in the World Club Challenge against the winners of the Australian NFL Grand Final, the Manly Sea Eagles.
