Well said matey - The whinos team are not the "team" they used to be - some of your players believe they are better than they are - but you ARE Champions. The Rhinos were far better when Team Spirit was based on the players who came through together - Sir Kev seems to think he IS Leeds Great kicker but he needs others to score !!

And it wore off very quickly for me in 2005. The season went from exciting at the WCC stage to fun being champions to very boring very quickly to hugely underwhelming as a results of the failures.

As I've said, give me 2011 achievements to 2005s under achievements any day of the week.

To be fair I am not the typicla supporter in that I live 70 miles away, with a nasty bit of M1 between work and the ground. Without the flexibility to leave work much earlier than 4:30 its touch and go as to whether I can get there, and get parked in time to make the kick off. I usually have a game on a Saturday, so have to get back that night. the whole thing makes it unfeasible to make Friday night games. THats why I pick and choose my games, because I don't have much choice. If I live in Sheffield or nearer I would probably have a season ticket.

You point is valid though that people attending matches and buying merchandise is the main reason we have the most resources in the league. If people stop attending for whatever reason we may start to struggle, as Bradford have. In the event that it happens I would trust that we would deal with the situation better than they did, whether that be to lower prices to entice more people in, or improve the quality. At the moment though there is no need to do anything. the team are successful on the field, and though they are not dominant in the league games, they are still the best performing financially by some distance.

I kind of agree with Gotchas point about the lowering of standards, but it still doesn't mean its not entertaining. I would prefer a ding dong battle with a top team, like the game at Knowley road in 2007, but I'd take a last gasp win over the likes of Cas over a 70pt steam rollering if I were at the game.

I never get satisfaction from a defeat playing well, it also happens so rarely. When Leeds play well, they are rarely beaten

Oh make no mistake, as I said on the other page, the game at home to Wigan last season for me was a great game with Leeds incredibly unlucky. That was competitive, but also gave good rugby.

Just those performances in the regular rounds were few and far between.
