You can't seem to comprehend that teams can improve and develop as the season goes on.

As far as leeds and saints go, you make an assesment a month or 2 into the season......and that's it. It's basically ''right i've seen all i need to see, saints are better than leeds and that's the way it will be for the rest of the season bar a choke saints will win the grand final''

Last season leeds really got out of the traps quickly, we were 6 points clear of you, but we peaked too soon. It was only a backs to wall rainy day effort that pulled the title out of the bag.

Just remember, in each of the previous 2 seasons you've felt saints have been superior to leeds. But who's ended up with the title?

Agreed. Agree with practically all that post.
We'd also be the first to win it 3 on the trot...there's a reason why no-one has done that before - it's because it's bloody hardy to do, especially given the salary cap, but we will see.

One thing is for certain though - given the squad strength of the Rihinos - had we beaten you in the cup we'd have had no chance of winning the GF.

We were cruising. We were top of the table without even playing well. But then, as i said above, we got knocked off a couple of times by you and that dented our confidence.

Had we not drawn you as well we'd still be in the cup and 2nd in the league without even playing that well.

It's cruising.

It's not just the last two seasons. His excuses for 2004 were spectacular examples of delusional denial.

Chronic.

Yet again - its a small minortiy showing this behavoir.

We all know we are on a good run, but ahve a brittle squad and nothing is won in April.

I for one, will be making few statements about how good we are until November.

'People'... and 'short memories' spring to mind.

There is nothing arrogant in saying that right now Saints are looking better than the rest, its a simple assessment. The fact that every Rhinos supporter on here seems to conveniently ignore the part of a post which states that time will tell who wins the GF is indicative as to just how defensive they all are. All you read of any post is the part complementing Saints and the part suggesting Leeds have gone backwards.

For heavens sake you have won the last 2 GF's against us so nobody is going to dismiss any chances of that happening again. It seems unlikely right now unless there is a huge improvement. However, in both previous seasons, you have looked inferior to us all season and snatched the championship so nobody in their right mind would rule it out again.

Troll is to strong award to use against you these days imo but your posts are still only down to get a bite from Leeds posters.

Not every Rhinos Supporter. For once, I actually agree with what you are saying.

Infact, I would say it was far more arrogant of the Rhinos supporters to make out that we will come good when it matters, without seeing anything to justify that so far this season.

Exactly what you said is true. This current Leeds team does not look a scratch on the ones that have won the previous two GF. Hopefully though it will be us that is smiling come October.

Whisper it quietly, most Leeds fans like the style of Rugby League that Saints frequently play....... just not against us though!

for most of 2007 we were average at best.
apart from the first ten games of so last year we were average.

you get nothing for being great at this time of year.

How can you say that when this time last year you'd lost 5 out of 10 games I think it was, and people were stupidly saying Leeds could go unbeaten. ATM you look a long way ahead of Leeds but who's to say it will stay that way. Don't underestimate the impact having a new coach has had on how you've started the season, compared to the fact that Leeds have publicly stated that they were aiming to start slower than last year and build throughout the season.

Thats superleague for you as it rewards mediocrity
