Quote ="BrisbaneRhino"I suspect you have to go right back to the start of RL to find Leeds not in the top flight, as they weren't invited into the top tier until a year or so after 1895. Meanwhile there are other records to chase if we continue like this to the end of the season:
- worst ever win/loss ratio in all games (currently 19% vs 27% in 1899-1900
- lowest average points for since 1982-83 (1980-81 if you adjust for 4-point tries)
- highest average points against since 1996
- lowest top tryscorer since 1996 (if somebody gets to 13 - could be since 1943 if nobody gets past 9)
- probably lowest top goalscorer since 1991-92 or thereabouts
But don't worry, there's no crisis, everyone's working hard.'"
This is pretty impressive record setting. Usually only see something like this happen to a club if they've got two sets of books to beat the cap or they've gone into receivership.
For Leeds to accomplish all this while still being under the cap and making an operating profit is quite an achievement.
