Seriously...

I understand what you mean. Going into each match "There's no reason why we can't win this!".

But there's a difference between thinking we can win EACH match, and thinking we can win EVERY match.

I can't see why any rational person would ever think this in any scenario.

I can't see why anyone would ever think this based upon our 2 games so far given the nature of our opponents and the opponents we have yet to face.

I also understand what you mean.

That said, thinking we can win EACH match and thinking we can win EVERY match is the same thing.

I think it's refreshing to read.

It won't happen of course, but with all the talk of 'dads army', 'transition', '2011 is a waste of time', 'no talent coming through' etc it's nice to see pure optimism. I'll have a glass of whatever the OP's having.

No doubt it will be an unbeatable drink.

Hey, I'm trying to give you a bit of support and have a conversation with you about it instead of just berating you.

It's not though is it... it's two different questions.

1) Do I think we have a chance of beating Wigan at the DW in July? Yes.

2) Do I think we can go all season beating every team, both home and away? No.

You asked the second question. Whilst I understand the connection between the questions, and if you were to go down all the fixtures asking Question 1, I'd answer yes to each of them individually, but that doesn't constitute a "yes" to Question 2.

I'd love it to happen, but it won't.

Although I think that we will do very well and win at least one trophy.

I agree with your philosophy there, every game Leeds go into I will think 'Yeah we can win this one'. BUT thats the same for Saints, Wigan and Warrington when they all play each other. Saints are capable of beating Warrington tonight. Warrington are capable of beating Saints tonight. There is a big difference between 'can win and 'will win'.
Like I said with a bit of luck we may only lose about 5 games. 1 slip up against a 'lower' side and a loss each against Wigan, Saints, Warrington and Hudds...and thats with a bit of luck.

We'll have to keep this short because I'm sure people would rather stick hot pins in their eyes than have to read us two debating this!!


If we were to meet every Friday, and toss a coin. The first week, I'd pick Heads. The week after I'd pick Heads too. You could even say to me... "What do you think it will be in 4 Fridays time?" and I'd say Heads. I'd be no worse off picking Heads every time. If, however, you asked me... "Do I think it will be heads every week for the next 27 week?" I'd say no.

You didn't ask us to deduce the outcome of each single match as it's own entity (all winable individually), you asked us to judge all 27 of them as one event (much less possible).

Luckily for you lot... I'm finishing work now.

Hope everyone has a good match, come on Leeds and good luck Wigan!!!

I'd have gone with tails myself.

You can beat an egg, but you can't beat a good......

I like Fallon. He's the thinking mans Damo.

I can't see any team ever going unbeaten through a full season whilst we have the salary cap in place.

And all the better for it.

...woman.

Have I mixed my jokes up here?

It's not a joke it's FACT
