I dont think it's beyond expectations to think we should at the very least "compete" in every game we play in with this team/squad during the regular SL rounds.
Once again well done to all involved and its a massive acchievement to get to back to back CC/GF's after some poor SL efforts but i dont think that makes some of the dross we've witnessed this year unworthy of mention given the ££££ invested in ST's or that just because we have under-performed it automatically means we'll get to both finals again.

It's great to enjoy the ability of this team (how much of that is down to the coach do you think ?) raising its game when it counts.....but let's not forget the bizarre team selections, bad use of subs and rotation of forwards through the season. Get that right and just maybe Leeds will win those elusive CC medals too.

Dear Wigan
"You picked the wrong team, You picked the wrong team, Just like the Wire you picked the wrong team"

Just shows the depth of knowledge from some of our keyboard coaching experts

The RFL will be changing the rules if Leeds win again next week.

Wigan (and Warrington if they lose today) will demand it

My " best manager " was the one who used to let me do my job how I wanted to..... when I wanted to...... with no intervention even when needed.

Of course it was, and as it turned out that was smart play. The Wigan defence was always going to be difficult to break down and even more so without McGuire, so accumulating points was the smart call. Wigan may well have done the same, but by the time that opportunity came they were 11 points down.

As for Sinfield charging out of the line, he did, but he wasn't the only one and that was our biggest chance of success last night, and it knocked Wigan off their game. We got our reward on that try because we didn't stand back and give Wigan all the time in the world to tear us to pieces. That pass went behind the man because Finch wasn't give any time at all. Of course there's an element of luck to that try, but Wigan scoring only 2 tries on the night suggests that on balance it was the right tactic.

Value for money on season tickets should not be judged on how many wins we get during the qualifying competition. I bet Wigan would give up their plate for a crack at the one that matters next week.
