Well done to the OP, for giving leave to every haflwit from other boards to claim that 'the whinos are all claiming they will go through the season unbeaten'.

Yeah but no one cares about them. The posters with some or more brain cells can see that it ain't gonna happen. We'll do well to finish in the top 3. If we run into Wigan without a fully fit McGuire we will be in big trouble, we really struggle to unlock their defence (as does everyone else). Eastwood was another one who could break them down, but he's gone, hope Hauraki can step up.
Warrington and Saints are a bit more vulnerable in defence, but probably have as much firepower as Wigan. It's going to be an interesting season, I would like to see us going back to being abit more ruthless against the smaller teams, let's not drop silly points, this will keep the pressure on the rest of the big 4.

Tony Soprano?






Maybe.

I think it is impossible for any team to go through the SL season unbeaten these days.
Just to many 50 - 50 games and then the banana skins.
No we will not go through the season unbeaten.

Even the dominant Wigan sides in the pre SC era didn't get anywhere near going unbeaten. I would be very surprised and disappointed if any side went unbeaten as that would not be a very good advert for an even SL competition.

Can it happen? At this stage yes it is possible but highly improbable.

I expect Leeds to go well this season but no they will not go unbeaten IMO. I hope the thread isn't tempting fate as Harlequins could also go unbeaten!

Didn't Bradford do it in 1997?

IIRC only a 22-22 draw with London Broncos prevented them from a perfect season.

No that never happened.

I don't have access to the records at the minute but no SL side has gone through a regular season undefeated.

In Bradford's case in '97 I remember them getting beat by Wigan at Odsal, possibly second to last round. I think they perhaps lost the final round also.

Of course it also depends what you include as that was the season of the ill-conceived World Club Championship where the SL teams recorded very few victories between them, Bradford amongst them who were undefeated domestically that season at the time.

Also depending on what you include in the season, they were beaten in the final of the Challenge Cup by Stains weren't they?

Bradford lost to St Helens at Wembley '96 and '97 so that would be correct also.

Is the OP Karl Harrison?

There is more chance of me showing my ar5e of the town hall steps than Leeds going all season unbeaten.

BTW you can tell that Mrs G1 doesn't read this board....
