Correct.
Leeds share that 2nd spot over the past decade with Wigan.

St Helens 7 CC Semi Finals
Leeds 5 CC Semi Finals
Wigan 5 CC Semi Finals

I've always got on with Leyther's ,but I don't think your well deserved 1971 cc win was against the odds.Leigh had a very good team that season finished 4th just behind Leeds and when Leeds went into the game minus the tragic Shoebottom Alan Smith and Ray Batten made you favourites.Enjoy your beer in Leeds

Funnily enough, Leeds were randomly drawn at home twice in the CC that year too (Oldham 1st Round, St Helens 2nd Round) and on the rare occasion they were desperately unfortunate missing out on a random home draw in the Quarter Finals, even that away trip was only a couple of miles away at Bramley

On a Bramley note, I still recall mates of mine (Bramley fans back in the day) who were never shy in reminding me that Bramley players Jim Fiddler and Geoff Clarkson contributed to the stuffing of Leeds at Wembley in 1971

Now you really are trolling!

Hey, why don't you compile a table showing those credible opponents and Leeds results. Like you were doing in 2011 and 2012 showing how bad Leeds were against such credible opposition until, well, you, know, they took the oomph out of that particular troll for you by winning the competition.

I dont think that was William but I do recall someone called swiftcorn saying similar

[i"It's a tired, over-the-hill squad at Leeds that's been in decline for several seasons. The amount of indiscipline they are exhibiting is a reaction from a squad of players who were used to winning silverware and having things their own way but no longer are. They all know this, but it's easier to whine, chelp, niggle, get penalised, blame the ref, blame anyone or anything but themselves. They are no longer fit for the purpose.

The time for sentiment is over.

Reason must prevail instead.

This squad is finished as a competitive entity and there should be no further contract renewals for any of them.

It's time to move on."[/i

I suppose that's why it's called the 'LUCK of the draw', right?

With me living out of the area I don't see many live games so I come on here to read the opinions of those who do.This Eve character is disrupting the forum.Why I don't know

By william eve's argument if leeds drew

Saints (h)
wigan (h)
warrington (h)

It would be considered a luckier draw than

batley (a)
hunslet (a)
rocahdale (a)

Because they are all home games.

Agendas.

I honestly don't know which will have going faster in the last 24hrs, William Swiftcorn's keyboard or his tugging action!!!!!!!

I like it when people say to him well done on getting bites, like it's actually a proper achievement in life.......tragically, it probably is in his.

So who's turn is it to beat us in the final this year anyway?
