What makes you think I weren't celebrating?

I'll comment after most games good and bad and I'm sure if you tried hard enough you could find some positive posts also. Others on here often become conspicuous only by their absence at difficult times. I'm not one of those types though so I'm afraid you'll have to take the rough with the smooth.



The relevance of stats is down to the individuals interpretation of them. I cannot be held responsible for the conclusions others draw from those I present.



Yes, I think my boss is wonderful too. Most people do if they want to maintain or improve their status within an organisation. Those that don't tend to have to find employment elsewhere. Perhaps we'll eventually get to hear their true feelings but I doubt now would be the best time for that.

Would love to chat further but the Vulcan is airborn as we speak and I'm heading off to see her over RAF Waddington or RAF Scampton shortly - favouring Scampton I think - so will have to catch you later. I hope you understand.

Of course, I love a semi final - first non challenge cup game I attended since April though
Great win, tense all the way, noisy fans and even terrible decisions didnt cost us - well worth the entrance fee

Sadly the bulk of the revenue comes from the regular season where punters - especially corporate want to see top class rugby for their money. As this season has shown winning the GF is no guarantee of retaining your crowd. If the crowds continue to fall then you will struggle to fund a team capable of winning the GF.

How low do you think the crowds need to be for the club not to be able to afford a salary cap level squad?

As a some time sporting corporate, BTW, the idea of "top class rugby" or whichever sport is pretty much irrelevant. The profile of the team means far more, and that comes from trophies.

He's entered 6 comps, reached 4 finals and finished 5th twice

If Lewis Hamilton starts the Grand Prix from fifth on the grid and goes on to win, do you remember the qualifying or the finish?

..........well played Richie, well played, Although GP qualifying isn't really a competition, it's qualification only, where as super league regular rounds are (well at least meant to be) a full competition that includes qualification for the play offs.

Yep. The profile of the team and as long as the corporates "have a good time" in decent facilities top class rugby is irrelevant.

WCC? There are four "cups" available



Well Leeds made both finals last year and despite not spending the whole cap only made a small profit, did regular season attendances fall? how about this year?

Don't read too much into a single year's accounts, particularly for business that doesn't carry a prime aim of making a profit.
