In 2015, legendary Leeds trio Sinfield, Jamie Peacock and Kylie Leuluai bowed out in style with a Grand Final win over Wigan.The Rhinos said farewell to two more legends in similar fashion on Saturday, with McGuire's contribution key.Leeds' resolute defence was typified in one David Backes Jersey Youth Jersey first-half moment when, as Super League's leading try scorer Greg Eden seemed destined to touch down in the corner, McGuire made a desperate grab for the ball and it slipped from the grasp of the Castleford full-back.
McGuire's drop-goal in the closing seconds of the first period gave Leeds a seven-point advantage at the interval and he was on the spot to collect the loose ball when Eden lost an aerial challenge with Ryan Hall.
Their tale in recent years really is one of "rags to riches". As recently as 2013, they were within 30 minutes of extinction.Off the field, they have become a stable business. On it, under Daryl Powell, they have steadily grown into a team http://www.officialbostonbruins.com/Adidas-David-Krejci-Jersey capable of challenging for major trophies.Adopting an exciting, expansive style, the Tigers have been the dominant force of Super League in 2017 and finished top of the table for the first time in their 91-year history.Zak Hardaker's omission on Thursday because of a "breach of club rules" could be pointed to as a disruption in the build-up, but in truth Castleford were below the standards they have set throughout the campaign.
"Proud and excited and pumped - I can't really believe what we've just done. I think the fact that we finished second after last year and got though to the Grand Final was great - to win it was a chapter I don't think anyone thought we would write."We've sent some legends out on a Authentic Calvin Pickard Womens Jersey win today. We did it for Kevin Sinfield, Kylie Leuluai and Jamie Peacock last time and we've done it again today. I couldn't be any more proud."
"The lads have been fantastic and deserve a lot of credit. We've had tough times this season but we never stopped believing and we're thrilled to bits.
"We deserved it today - we worked hard for each other and I thought we outplayed a very good Castleford team.
"I'll miss everything about the club and all the boys. It's the start of a new chapter for me next http://www.officialcoloradoavalanche.com/Adidas-Blake-Comeau-Jersey year but I'm definitely going to enjoy tonight."
Castleford coach Daryl Powell:"I'm massively disappointed that we couldn't build any pressure on Leeds at all.
"I'm disappointed that we didn't do ourselves justice. If we'd been able to do that and got beat, you hold your hands up and say 'fair enough'.
"Leeds didn't see the best of us. They were pretty good, I thought, and massively deserved the win because we were nowhere near."
On the absence of full-back Zak Hardaker: "It was a big disruption. I still thought we had a team out there that could have won the game if we'd played anywhere near our potential, but if you take a player like him out of any team, it's going to be a disruption.
"You take your full-back out two days before the game, and you have one session of preparation - it's clearly not going to help.
"It is what it is. There's absolutely nothing we can do about that."
