Don't think the season is over. This is the tightest it's been for a few years . Don't know if we will but we certainly have the potential to get to the final and win. We know how to play come playoff time, we can handle the big stage and pressure, and if we have a full fit squad we have a fair chance.
I wouldn't write of cas or saints either as another thread suggests. I honestly couldn't predict it this year.

6th will probably see us play Catalans at home, a game we were lucky to win a few weeks back.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Saints lose the first game in the play offs. If that happens we could be playing away to them in the next round. They have done the double over us this year.

The performance in the CC final was spot on tactics from the coach, something we have not shown previously this year. I am not convinced were we to play Cas again those tactics would be as surprising. At the end of the day it caught Cas out, and was one of there worst performances of the year. Not sure outside of Wembley or Old Trafford that would be repeated.

On a brighter note, despite the loss, and regardless of wins in the CC semi and final, Fridays performance was arguably the best of the season.

Whether it was better than the five teams above us best of the season is debatable, but if the better of your performances this time of year are happening then it is the best time.

Of course we could end up winning next week at Wigan and it completely changes the possible play off options.

Was the CC sem versus Warringotn not a good combination of performance and tactics? What about smashing Sts in the Cup as well? Those were games that the senior players desperately wanted to win and did with some style.

I'm more confident than ever that we will win the GF, we could do with getting into the top 4 to make it easier but even from 6th in a one off knock out games I'd back us to beat anyone.

Not impressed by any of the 5 above us to be honest, if we hadn't been so concentrated on the CC we would have already won the hubcap.

I think this is the most even (weakest??) SL this year. There is no outstanding team, so I think Leeds have a pretty good shot at it. McDermott has managed the squad better this season so we aren't carrying so many knocks. We have also seen tactics brought in to win certain games.

I certainly think we can win it

If that's how good the league leaders are against 12 men (not to mention the 2 week break v our 3 days training) then we have nothing to fear.

So Farrell & Moon likely to miss next week's clash - the big one?

You mean you predicted the rfl disciplinary...that's not necessarily correct

Absolutely pathetic as usual, you're not fit to call yourself a Leeds fan.

You've been moaning and writing Leeds off all season, in fact you've probably been doing the same since the 2005 GF loss.

Blimey! Who rattled your cage? You need to check your facts. I have predicted all season Leeds would win the CC and I am satisfied with that ...they don't need to bust any more guts for me. Compete yes, but that'll do IMO.

Mate, you're one of the most negative "fans" on here and that's really saying something on a board that has doom and gloom merchants like Flexwheeler and TVOC posting tripe on a regular basis.

Like someone else said on here recently "Leeds Rhinos, papering over the cracks since 2007..."
