Appalling weather, some brutal defence and two top class teams.
It all goes to show that you do not need 10 tries in a match to make it a classic.
The fact that Leeds only managed to pierce the Storm's ironclad rearguard once also gives anyone remotely connected with Halifax a rare chance of bragging rights against their big city neighbours.
Because Fax, of course, had nipped in twice the week before, courtesy of Jon Goddard.

STILL on the subject of the Storm, I do hope coach Craig Bellamy was charging by the hour during his spell in England.
The revolving doors of Melbourne's Leeds hotel hardly stopped spinning during their fortnight's stay, with a steady stream of coaches turning up to pick the brains of the man widely recognised as the best in the business at the moment.
Hull's Peter Sharp and St Helens' Daniel Anderson were apparently two of the higher profile visitors to Bellamy's lair.
But there was also a steady stream of coaching minnows from all over the country, from rugby league and rugby union, wanting to listen to his messianic preachings and watch the Storm train.
Certainly, anyone wanting an education in hard work could have done worse than watch Melbourne's "light" two hour session at the Shay the day before they played Halifax.
In terms of skill and athleticism, it was certainly a masterclass.
But judging by the way Bellamy and his players patiently answered questions and signed the mountains of souvenirs presented to them that day perhaps the biggest lesson anyone can learn from them is humility.

IT was good to see the game making use of Jason Robinson again this week.
The former Wigan winger turned England RU talisman had been out of the sport for eight years after leaving the JJB Stadium for Sale in 2000.
After winning a World Cup and generally being one of the darlings of the Twickenham faithful, Robinson has no doubt been handsomely rewarded for his stint in kick and clap.
But the motivation to return to the sport where he made his name was clearly always there.
Robinson will now go back to his roots, looking for the next generation of league stars in an ambassadorial role with Test match sponsors Gillette.
One thing Robinson flatly ruled out at the Press conference in Bradford where his new appointment was announced was a senior coaching role, especially in the 15-man game.
"My knowledge of rugby union is not that great, to be honest," he admitted.
Spoken like a true league man.
