Peacock so proud of Rhinos
Related Articles
06 January 2008
The forward won a fifth Super League ring on Saturday from a seventh appearance at Old Trafford - and rated it even higher than his emotional farewell with Bradford in 2005.
"This is the best feeling I've ever had from a Grand Final. I don't think people gave us much of a chance going into it," said Peacock. "2005 was great for other reasons - and so was last year. But to do what we have this year, having had to peak so early and beat Melbourne (World Club Challenge), is fantastic."
Leeds' 24-16 victory denied Daniel Anderson a fairytale ending to his three-and-a-half-year tenure as St Helens coach and enabled his former right-hand man with New Zealand, Brian McClennan, to emulate Tony Smith by guiding the Rhinos to the championship in his first season.
"'Bluey' has been outstanding," said Peacock. "He came in with a good reputation and enhanced it."
