[uTranslation:[/u I actually do get time to BELIEVE in between cracking one off over the over paid underperforming quota place waster Danny Buderus.

Agreement at last.

So rhinoms do you still blindly believe we can finish above 4th just because we're leeds and it isn't a mathmatical impossibility?

Get realistic. We'll do well to get 4th.

Pah.....who wants to be Super League Champions? Winning the Challenge Cup is the main trophy!!!!!!

To be honest, 8th at the minute would be great!

As the table stands now (but with Leeds 8th and not 9th!!!!):

If Leeds finished 8th, we would play Hull away (beaten them twice in 2 weeks, so certainly no fears, all depends on form)

In the next round, we would then play Huddersfield away. Is it beyond the realms of possibility to beat them there, in playoff football?

We would then be potentially left with a qualifying semi final away at Wigan

To me, this is the whole problem with the top 8 system, and I said this last year (along with thousands of others I imagine) Teams are rewarded with mediocrity. Leeds have been pretty abysmal for most of the season, and were terrible in most parts tonight. Yet a win next week and we are a top 8 team. And if we stayed there, is the above path particularly daunting? Not one of those ties would have fans of either side sticking money on their team to win, that's for sure

We'll do well to make it to 6th.

And if we continue to handicap the side by playing Diskin, 8th may just prove a place too far!

That would be a tremendously tough ask. Remember this isn't weekly rounds. The playoffs step up in intensity and defence.

Hull would step up.

Huddersfield are a very solid consistent team now, winning there in the playoffs would be no picnic. Oh and then just a win away at wigan to get to the grand final?

It's a tall order. FE games are tough to win at home. Let alone away from home. It's why you don't get many teams from outside the top 2 actually making a grand final.

If we finish below 4th I don't think we can realistically have expectations of making the grand final. Especially if we go far in the CC.

No arguments there. Maybe the CC is where our best hope is this season.

Mate, I'm 32, I have followed Leeds since 1987. I am possibly branded a pessimistic Leeds fan, I have seen so much sh*t over the last 20+ years. The last 6 years have brought me so much pleasure (as a Leeds fan!!!) that I thought I would never see, that I aint gonna get greedy. I actually wouldn't lose any sleep if Leeds missed out on the playoffs altogether. My point is.....that the format we have means that Leeds, even finishing eighth, would be one of the most feared sides in the playoffs. Would they be chosen by, lets say for example, Warrington, to play at home if they finished top?

I remember sitting in a bar in Spain in 2008 on holiday with a load of (very genuine, funny) Women St Helens fans. It was the night of the playoff game at Knowsley Road when they must have put 30+ points on us.

2 weeks later Kevin Sinfield was lifting the GF Trophy (again)

People need to remember what this sport is like!

If, If, what do you mean if? what have all you super confident Rhino's posters been smoking?, Remember, as the fans have said many times nothing is won in March...... or April by the looks of things!!!!



Come on the Blackpool may have a few quid on em at 1000-1

Only a couple of wins away from 5th No panic from me

Think it's great that there are more and more teams challenging the 4 with unpredictable results. Would be great to see a team win it won year and maybe finish 8 the next because of the strength of the competition

It would appear that not all outstanding police investigations are cleared up by April either ...

oooooooooooooh controvesy, GET IT LOCKED QUICK!!!!!!
Hope ya have a good lawyer if you refer to what I think you refer to?

Totally agree.

Good to see the "also rans" still knocking one out whenever we lose!

You just keep getting a "hard on" whenever we lose like the flying prop and the rest i still remeber the sh#te you posted as snake eater and your other alias over the last 3 years.

Good one, and absolutely correct.

However, we are not going to finish top 4 now, let's be honest. I bet 99% of people had Crusaders down to finish bottom this season, and yet they could be only a point behind us. That's is a very alarming statistic.

I still think we can win the GF and the mickey mouse cup, but let's face reality as far as the positions on the league go. What this season's done more than anything is highlight the need for change in the club, if we want success to continue.

I think you will do well to get that 4th spot, for the last 3 season the team have been performing at a consistently high level, but gradually players physically and mentally can,t maintain it, this is what is probabably kicking in now (excluding the injuries)

Until it's mathmatically impossible i wouldn't write a top 4 finish off.
We still play all the teams above us again and even though we've had poor start to the season the game we've lost other Cas we've had chances to win so it's not like we've been a million miles away.
This team is still good enough to find the form for a long unbeaten run.
It's not gonna be easy by any stretch of the imagination but like i've always said there's 2 teams you NEVER write off and imo it's us and Saints.

I think you guys will finish top 4 and like I posted at the start of the year you guys have the teama nd experience to win it from there....hope not from my point of view

Loving it mate, have knocked more out this season than I care to remember

So it's gonna be "Back to Back to Back to 4th" lmao
