Quote: Sal Paradise "Leeds could field a weaker side and still win easy - I don't buy this "teams always raise their game against Leeds".
Wakefield made the 8 because Warrington/Catalans simply haven't shown up - they are a poor side full of very average players.
If Leeds have GF aspirations they should be beating side like Wakefield at a canter and I expect a wide margin of victory this week.'"
Not every team might raise their game against Leeds but Wakey at home often do.
Even if Warrington and Catalans had "shown up" Wakey would still be 7th and I think a lot of people had Catalans down for a bottom 4 position and behind Wakey so no surprise at all to see them finish where they did.
If we win this week then the margin of victory will tell us absolutely nothing about our GF aspirations. Cas won there a few weeks back by a single point.
