It's that time of year again, the time of year when Stevo backs Warrington to be "the team to beat this year". The difference is this year, I think he might be right. The fact that he's pretty much said the same thing at the start of every season won't stop him gloating should they go on to win though...

As an interesting side, check out the comment on the article from a Darren Bruce! Us Leeds fans really need to stop hoping we'll win every year because it's starting to annoy him!  |

I know!! How DARE Leeds fans want, or even THINK Leeds might win!! HOW DARE WE! We should all hang our heads in shame and be very embarrassed.
Some of us even dare to "REALLY REALLY think we're going to do it" and it's those that should be the most ashamed of all. Come on you Wigan is what I say!!

I think it'll be harder to win this year than it was last year, we came out the blocks and took people by surprise a little last season, this season though people will be well prep'd. Plus Wigan have made some quality signings.
We have a great chance but it won't be easy, should get a good idea tomorrow.

The problem you had last year (in the League!!!) was the ability to beat those around you. It's ok caning Salford & Quins but am I right in thinking (without checking!!) that you lost all six matches against Wigan, Saints & us? That would've been the difference in your push for the top spot. |

What about this one:
www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 89,00.html
[iThe only area of concern over their line-up is that it lacks a little in pace - with some exceptions - which may be an issue when the grounds get hard.[/i
What on earth is that all about? Compared to Wigan, Saints, Warrington and Hudds where do Leeds lack pace? McGuire, Burrow, Hall, Watkins, Webb and even Senior still has pace. JJB fast mobile back rower, Buderus is still sharpe and pacey out of dummy half. JP and Bailey are as pacey as props get. What an idiot. |

Agreed. I don't think we're any slower than anyone else.
I've even seen Kirkey shift!! Who was it that he chased down at Headingley?! It was a half back IIRC. Robinson? (Rubbish memory!!) |

I can remember him chasing down Kirk Dixon at Castleford in the final seconds when the game was already decided. |

Ah yeh! I remember that too!! I'm sure he did the same thing at Headingley in a more crucial tie. Might be the memory playing tricks. |

We don't have Scott Donald this season, so technically the squad as a whole is statistically slower than last year.
Perhaps that's what he meant?!  |

Fully fit Watkins and BJB? Hopefully a Lee Smith in better shape. He never had chance to lose his RU weight.

Whilst we're on Lee Smith... I'm hoping McD's famous fitness regime has got some of his speed back. He really hasn't been up to much since his return if you ask me. |

Yup those are the two that immediately spring to mind although that's not to say there aren't any more.

That was almost true.
The only one of the six Warrington managed a win in was away at Wigan in round 22. |

Thanks! Still, point stands.
Even one from two against Saints, and one from two against us would've put Wire joint top. If they can get that aspect of their game sorted, they'll be looking pretty good! |

Who is Burrows?
Burrow is still one of the fastest Scrum halves in SL.
And again JJB has a lot of pace for a back rower.
Do pay attention. |
