Quote: FlexWheeler "They already know what it takes. 90% of the players have been there anddone it, from similiar circumstances.
They put in a massive effort against saints when league position still had potential and CC box was ticked. But against wigan last week they looked very jaded and then this week had nothing to play for. The big guns should have been rested. It was going to be a poor performance no matter what team was played, but this way we have placed undue fatigue on the main players ahead of the playoffs.'"
.....I wouldn't worry too much at this stage. There is still one more match before the
real play offs begin.
I still believe the hunger for the GF will not be as great this time; the CC was the biggest prize for this set of players. They are all yet another year older with an ever diminishing amount of ideas in attack. This year's GF will be a game too far.....BUT ......then again if the weather turns nasty and Leeds can better utilise their grinding it out in a committed defensive display they might just do it again.
I agree though that I am glad I am not a paying spectator these days for the regular league gamesthey[/i want to. The lack of attacking acumen though will be their potential downfall.
Let's hope it rains from herein
