course they have a chance. but they will have to improve a hell of a lot in the next couple of weeks.

I thought St Helens defensive game was top notch V Huddersfield, who helped by being pretty shocking ball in hand. The Saints attack wasn't that hot but I don't think any of the eight teams that took part in the play offs would say much different. Leeds included.

Huddersfield's decision to leave Moore out really was brave in the circumstances but it affected their A game a great deal. Robinson was wasted at acting half for most of the game waving his arms at the referee.

i could beleive it when i heard that! jp signed in 2005 ready for the 2006 season iirc, inbetween leeds had finished top and won a grand final and competed in 2 other finals maybe he was saying it because they didn't win those two finals in 2005??

Don't you think that Clarke says what he does to act as devil's advocate to the other two who like the Vicar of Bray constantly change their views dependant on when & where they are?
Who do you consider to be Leed's best signing in the recent past?
JP is up there along with Iestyn Harris IMO.
Altough I do agree it's OTT to state we hadn't done anything till JP arrived.

What do you mean by "recent past"?

If its' SL era then Keith Senior without any discussion has been our greatest signing.

Interesting comment on sky during the Wigan/Cas match, I think it was Phil Clarke, discussing the first Wigan try when Carmont knocked on, I don't know if a freudian slip not but he said "benifit of the doubt to the home side" ??????

couldn't argue with that, although it did take him a little while to win over the "fans" iirc

nope,your not wrong. had a hard hact to follow mind

he did in brad godden of course, but some of the stick he got was terrible wasn't it?

I meant in the superleague era & immediately preceding it.
Not as far back as Hanley or even earlier Schofield.
I think there could (should?) be discussion & given your disputatious nature I'd be surprised if you disagreed. Though, like any member of your profession you'll always believe that your opinion will always take precedence.
I would argue that Harris had an even bigger impact especially due to the effect his return from the dark side had on our beloved near neighbours.
It had major financial benefits plus led to the signing of Peacock.
However, Senior has been outstanding & I'm just so glad we got him rather than Wigan.
The defence rests.

OWNED HONEY!!

I would have loved to see what Harris from 98/99 could have done with this current squad, but would you play him with McGuire or Burrow?

in his prime? at full back i think, chiming in late and with perfect timing

Right stains of at your peril!!
As much as I can't be doing with the ram-raiding ratbags these days,you can guarantee they'll put in a performance if we meet again in the GF.

Thats a tough question, I would go with Mcguire over Burrow although there isnt much in it.

In terms if Harris I would suggest he is Leeds greatest ever signing and at his peek was almost unplayable.
