I asked first.

Disagree totally.

















It would be an absolute ****ing major miracle and I'll borrow Bullseye's hat to eat if we do!!

Hmmm.
The odds for a Top-4 finish are notionally [url=http://www.extrabet.com/dealing/sport/home.htm?locale=en_GB&webSiteId=xtb#navbar=http%3A//www.extrabet.com/dealing/sport/hierarchy/events.htm%3FhierarchyLevelThreeId%3DRGLAAABAAB8S%26hierarchyLevelTwoId%3DRGLAAAB%26hierarchyLevelOneId%3DRGL%26businessArea%3DS%26oddsTypes%3DF%26wow%3D1241007601361&tab=6/1[/url

But . . . if you haven't bet with them before then they will match your stake up to £20.

What the [ieffect[/i is, for the uninitiated is to make the odds on this bet 12/1. I still doubt we will do it, but at 12/1 it is far too big odds for me to resist, plus I am betting with considerable sums of the bookies' money in light of recent events. And so I have had a bit of that.

Can I respectfully suggest you take large wads of that up to Edinburgh & drown me in Waggledance?

Top four = top two of 'the rest'. None of which have been massively convincing as yet. Indeed, the ones with the best record currently we're widely derided on here as easybeats that we should have dispatched comfortably at Odsal.

Waggle Dance is unlikely to feature, but the awesome
[size=150Guildford Arms[/size

...should be near the top of any self-respecting drinker's list

70/- or heavy for me then. I'm a tad wary of pubs where men have their hands on their waste like that though.

The Edinburgh Uni bacteriology department is just round the corner.

I'm going to get away from pretentious bleedin academics for a few days.

Well I would bet you a grand that we will be in the play-offs for a start. Quins wasn't long ago, neither was Salford so get off your high horse. Bradford have been shocking all season and have managed to beat the top 3 teams from last season.

yeah so did cas last year!! where did they finish!!

and there is no shame in getting beat in this league mate!! if you dont turn up ready to play or you are off the pace you will get beat!!

i get nervy enough following leeds without a bet like that and we have been to 4 GF's in 5 years so no thanks. i dont have a bet in the ground as i think it will jinx the team. but i will bet you a pint if your over 18?

al i will say is mate defence wins titles and as long that is in good nick at the rhinos i still feel good about things and we still have the best D in the league by quite a bit.

ps when did you beat hull kr?

We didn't. I said the top 3 teams from last season. We drew with them anyway

well yeah again i say so did cas where did they finish.

do you want to bet that pint or not?

Is that on if we make 10th or the play-offs?

Indeed.



The kids part being the key part for me. This should then set the foundations for seasons to come



With how the season has gone so far, I'm ruling nothing out.

To be honest if we can make 7th or 8th it will have been a good year the way we have been playing.

the play offs was the bet

If we finish lower than 4th combined with the early cup exit this season has to be classed as amajor failure.

See the fifth column is regrouping.

Flippancy aside, "yes" it is possible, though like others have already posted, my head tells me it's improbable (which is why I usually follow what my heart thinks - so, yes)

We played in 5 Grand Finals in 5 years and now look where we are

yeah and you dont have the players who won those trophies for ya, leeds still have the core of their team

Very true, however you just never know what's around the corner
