How many of you Leeds fans are a little bit worried about Saints in the Playoffs?

We came across a fortnight ago and pushed you pretty close. You have been in excellent form whereas we've been e. It was our first game for 7 weeks with a full squad yet made you work hard.

How many are genuinley concerned?

Saints are always a threat!! If saints went and won the gf would I be shocked?? No!! Nothing is a given in these play offs

Every game is a new event that will be decided on the night.

Leeds fans have no real reason to be that concerned by any opposition at this point.

Leeds have nothing to fear but fear itself.

I'm not.

I don't see a concievable way that Saints would get the better of us with the state they are in at the minute.

I'm a little worried going into any play off game. But not Saints in particular this year.

I posted after the match that we are still the best 2 teams in the league by plenty imo and other than leeds saints are a team not to be written off!
Having said all that i'm confident saints are more worried about us in the play-offs than the other way round!

Not in the slightest, as I doubt we will play you at all.

Saints are still dangerous even if they arnt as good as they were before. Leeds were underdogs in 2007 and 2008 and won the GF so you dont have to be favourite at this point to win it.

I think anyone in the top 8 can beat anyone else, im still backing a Saints-Leeds final but not as strongly as the last two years.

How worried are you that your team only shows passion and will to win when you play us? I'd feel a little short-changed if I were you.

However to answer your question, yes I can see St Helens beating us, they are a very good team and if we meet it will be a good and a close game. However they will have to start showing some passion and commitment against the other teams to even start thinking about playing us never mind winning.

Saints will again make the GF as long as they dont bottle it!
you will clearly need all your big players to stand up though,so there can be no more hiding places for your "soft cock" players like leon should you wish to progress

i dont think leeds were underdogs really in 2007 ,after the game at KR 10-8 leeds were in the driving seat .

i don't think you will get there. i think you have been awful for a lot of the season and the three leeds games apart you have been largely woeful.
you would have to play at the top of your game for 3 games in a row, something you haven't done all season.
once you get rid of the deadwood,and even though i agree KC has been SL's best ever player,he is one. get moore and roby in tandem next year, get in a couple of quality forwards and i think you could win it next year.
but not this for me

We were 6/4 with the bookies, they were close favourites.

I don't think its a lack of passion or commitment. Anyone who has played the game knows that there are no hiding places and if you go into a game half d you're going to get hurt.

We've had far too many injuries this year, many clubs wouldn't have made the top 8 with the injuries we've had let alone making the semis of the cup. We've struggled finding consistency all year due to the injuries. The kids that have come in have done very well considering some of them could still be playing junior academy.

Look at the saints side that demolished Castleford at the Jungle earlier this season and the Saints side now


not seen a team change for the worse in such a short space of time as Saints have done like this before

Actually, not true. We had a purple patch at one point where we looked like our old selves: beating you guys twice in a short time, tonking Wakey and Cas, beating Wigan and Wire and such like. But either side of that we have varied from poor to poop. However, I don't think that has anything to do with form.

maybe so,. but the team, or the key parts, have been allowed to get old together. you have had no consistency yet ask me to believe you can peak for 3 successive games.
sorry but i just don't think you are good enough to do it

I'm [ialways[/i worried.

x 2

I said straight after that game that they'd shot their load too early.

It happened to us in 2006 and once the wheels came off it was nigh on impossible to stop.

Im more concerned with Hull Kr as theyre our opponents this Friday, what other teams do in the playoffs doesnt bother me.

It bother saints though that's why they are sh[iitti[/ing themsleves all over our board.

Would they want to put themselves through more heartache at Old Trafford?

How funny would it be if we beat them for a third year running?

As I’ve said before ANY of the top six can turn us over on the day – being worried about it is counterproductive.

We get to where we get to and where ever that may be it’ll always be higher than Bradford so I’m happy.
