I very much doubt we could have sustained our level of success of the past 3 seasons from a position of huge odds on favourites.

Is our present position then preferable ??? assuming of course we can achieve a play off position and is Bluey engendering a seige mentality aimed at making our play for a 4th success from a postion as huge underdogs.

Mind games and all that.

That's what I keep telling anyone anyway! I'd like to think that we're living it until the last match of the season and climb up into 8th in a nail-biter of a match. We then storm through the play-offs and cane Wigan in the GF (beating Saints to the Tadulala's too).

It's all part of GH's master plan for a new money spinner. He's planning on making a movie along the same lines as Invictus.

my mate is convinced it's all a part of blueys master plan!

seriously I wouldnt put it past him.....

I hope you're fookin' right.

SL is boring, Leeds are making it exciting by winning it from 8th.

A warrington supporter was at my work today. We usually have a bit of banter and today was no exception.

When Smith went there I told him he'd turn them into a good competitive side and they'd win trophies. I reminded him of this.

He commented about our plight and I said "write Leeds off at your peril, if anyone can win it from 8th it's Leeds". He said "You'll struggle to win it from your current position so I conceded that 9th probably wouldn't see us win it this year.

It's a mighty risky plan? What happens when you end up away to Saints or Wigan and Richard Silverwood is refereeing?

Leeds win, when it matters Leeds win.

HAVE YOU LEARNT NOTHING!!

That bits not in the plan

hope that he pulls his hammy and ganson steps in.

or take a video nasty to a private meeting before the game of Wigan/saints at their respective underhanded worst to Influance siverc*nts decisions in the game. It's been done before!

Of course.....and Burrow will be moved to prop as our 'hardest' man to aid the devious plan.

Are we definatley going to finish 8th then? Can't believe we are been written off so soon. FWIW I think if we do finish in 8th we will have been pretty poor for the remainder of this season and will have no chance in the play offs.

I agree mate! But if we beat wakey and saints win we will
be in 7th by Sunday.

There is so much rugby to be played yet and if a few of our results could have gone the other way it would have put an entirely different look on the table. There will be loss of form, injuries, teams above us taking points off each other, cup runs, fatigue, shock results like the quins one for example. There is loads to play for and every spot is still up for grabs.

I agree. I think we will finish 4th at least.

Yep me too, at least.

Bluey has a master plan

lol



Clutching at straws comes to mind.

I'd imagine if leeds don't win super league this year the universe will implode and everyone will die.

Done by a club that cheated the salary cap for 5 years. We shouldn't be suprised.

Such arrogance and at only the half way stage of the season TYPICAL.



I hope the above post returns to bite you on the

I think 4th will be our best finish not at least. Think we can get to 4th but i have a feeling 5th or 6th.

I've had a beleif that Leeds have treated the weekly rounds as more like a contested training session than a league to win for a few seasons now.

Last year we had awful disipline, then in August it suddenly changed.

By this point last year we had lost 4 games, and won the league shield by 2 or 4 points (memory fails me). We had 1 defeat in 12 games at the end of the season, followed by the play-offs.

But what many people don't see is that its not a fluke that we put in the best performance of the season in the game that would eliminate us from a competition.

The days of busting out of the traps, leading the league for 6 months then being too knackered to contest the silverware are behind us.

It may not be fair for the loyal fans who pour money into the club, but the club is only interested in winning pots, and have chosen to do this by only taking 5-6 games a season at 100%

Honestly I think that entire post is a ridiculous thing to say. Arrogance.

To say we treat the weekly rounds as a contested training session is highly disrespectful to a whole bunch of things, but mainly the players who put their body on the line each week and the opposition we beat by doing so along the way.

I think people get carried away now with this whole ''leeds...big game team anywhere anytime in the playoffs'' just because we've had fantastic recent success in the playoffs.

It's always been built on a foundation of finishing in the top 2.

This year we are well off the pace for that.
