With almost a full strength squad, the cracks are appearing in the Leeds team, do you think they can go the distance. A couple of more losses will they be battling to stay in the top 4.

they are still far better than everyone but saints

i agree i think they will be in the top 2 but time will tell.

Say that when they have played everyone.

Top 2 easily, and I'd tip them for the SL title on the basis of having a deeper squad than Saints.

Everyone else is making up the numbers this year, I fear.

I have watched 2 matches on the TV today

Bradford v Leeds and the Widnes v Leigh match from friday

What stood out was the amount of lying on and interference at the PTB that we get in SL compared to the NL/Championships

If Mr Laughton who controlled the Game at Widnes had been in charge of the SL game and applied the rules in the same way as he did for Leigh and Widnes that game would have broken all penalty records


Very strange

As for will Leeds make the top 4 , yes unfortunatley as it would be better for ' the sport ' if Leeds and Saints didn't

We will make the top four.

Don't worry, he will.

leeds will make the top four

were you one of those that wrote Leeds GF chances off last year when they lost a few mid season?

There is a 0% chance of them finishing outside the top 4.

Losing 6-0 to Salford atm.

10-0 to Salford.

After todays result i take what i said back

Really?

But Leeds have no forwards, certainly no front row to speak of.

Aye. Pretty much every aspect of our play in attack and defense is shambolic. But worst of all we're being out enthused by opposition, we look tired, and low on confidence.

Really.

Peacock and Leuluia (sp?), with Bailey and Burgess as rotation is good enough to see them end up in the top 2. Don't read too much into this blip, they had one later in the season last year which Saints took full advantage of to claim top spot.

The standard elsewhere is that bad this season, unfortunately.

Come October, Saints will have played several more games (I'm assuming a good cup run, probably all the way to Wembley) and could well have picked up injuries. At 3/4, half back (even if Leon avoids jail) and prop they don't have many tried and tested replacements and will be relying on youngsters. I just feel this will be too much come the end of the year.

I stand by:

Saints CC winners
Saints Hubcap winners
Leeds SL champions.

Hardly surprising, coming off the back of two epic games with Saints and ending up with nothing from both.

Saints have equally looked tired after those games but luckily have had enough left in the tank to beat the teams they've faced.

What, you don't fancy your chances at Wembley?

Bloody negative attitude

We don't want people thinking we're greedy

Blimey, I bet you dont enjoy saying that.

What a great easter peroid for Saints in every way possible

The answer is No.

But they don,t look as good this season, unless they can go to the end of the remaining season unbeated.

Leeds don't look as good this season.

That's not to say they are not capable of winning the Grand Final as they may well prove this come October as they are a very good team. It is fair to say though they have looked out of sorts in some of the matches they have also won this season.
