I think if we can stay clear of injuries to key palyers we have a great chance. I Cant wait for next season to start.

i hope that you asked the question then as to why doesn't each and every sl club jocky for this such vital 5th spot each season then?
judging by the lack of previous gf winners from this favorable 5th finishing position i would hazard a guess and say that they are all wrong and are just jealous wigan and warrington fans

The smell of sour grapes from some boards, you get clear advantage from finishing top two rather than 5th! That's why it's only been done the once, and only twice outside the top 2!

It's so easy that it's done very year. Oh hang on......?

Leeds made it look easy because they're so damn good at playoff rugby. But these fans are deluded. You don't plan to finish 5th, hope you get a favourable run of teams out of form and then magically turn on form and confidence. If leeds had it their way they'd have won more and finished top 2. The majority of winners will still come from the top 2.

Leeds won the title as they were the best team in the playoffs. Wed have won it no matter where had finished
