I don't either. If we sign anyone now I expect it to be squad players only.

No, but they'd have finished top though. < IMO >

It's down to 2 games now is it? it was 3 before, make your mind up

Oh right.

So you really meant to say the last 1/4 of the season then. Afterall, the semi was in the 2nd week of August.

Performances were poor for the whole second half of the season in the league.

First time in a 11 seasons we have failed to reach a GF 2 years running. Lowest league placing since Superleague 1 in 1996 and our lowest ever place under the playoff system, lowest number of points scored since 1998 (where we scored 662 compared to this years 685 - but with four less games in '9icon_cool.gif.

On the plus side, we conceded our lowest number of points since 2008 and won the CC for the first time since 1999.

OK, I could go on about Leeds' mid season form for the past few seasons before coming good in the final quarter but I won't....

I give in, you never stop

It wouldn't be relevant.

In your opinion of course.

It wouldn't be relevant to your argument because they still made the CC final in some of those seasons.

...and lost badly

So leeds played poorly for the entire second half of the season because of 1 game?

No, they played poorly in the league for the last 1/4 of the season due to 2 games, do keep up. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why, with the semi & final only 2 weeks apart during that time.

Such pessimism, but then again you were shouting from the rooftops at the start of the season that Leeds would win nothing this year only for them to go on and put in one of the most dominant CC final performances in years and in reality (despite what you'll try and claim next), weren't far off winning the LLS and having a good shot at reaching the GF.

I refer you to my previously posted fact: worst league position since SL 1 in 1996 and we went out at home to a team below us in the league who pretty much every journalist, bookie or pundit had us down to beat comfortably. That is reality.

The Challenge Cup influenced team selections in the Bradford and London games. Those team selections influenced those results.

Would you not agree with the above?
