Quote leicester_rhino="leicester_rhino"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.
