They have a good record at catalans. 5 wins and a draw from 7 games. however like you i dont give them much of chance either.

I want bradford and wakey to win then Leeds should finish 4th and i dont have to pay out £50!!

You're going to finish 4th and beat Wigan next week. At least that's what I'd prefer.

I'd like to congratulate the rhinos on once again strategically finishing just outside the Top 4 in order to benefit from the well-earned rewards for doing so. This ensures that half-d mediocrity throughout the regular season really does pay off in the end and is duly rewarded with a home fixture next week and two successive easy play-off fixtures against whipping boy SL rabble. Someone wake me up in 3 weeks time (Wigan away probably) when the SL season begins in earnest.

You really are a miserable ar$€hole.

Which part of [i"Rhinos half-d mediocrity throughout the regular season resulting in a 5th placed finish on the SL ladder"[/i is incorrect and an unreasonable interpretation of the rhinos season in your opinion?

Which part of [i"Benefiting from a 5th placed finish by being rewarded with a home fixture against whipping boy SL rabble/two successive fixtures against whipping boy SL rabble"[/i is incorrect and an unreasonable interpretation of the rhinos season in your opinion?

What? So you think playing Catalans away in the 2nd week is easier than at HQ?

As i said further up the page,finishing 4th is a clear benefit this season over last due to Huddersfields shocking form last year.

FWIW i expect us to come through a tough clash with Wakey and go down in a close game in France.

Yes, I do believe Wakey at home followed by Catalan away is a more comfortable ride than Wigan away followed by Catalan at home. Facing whipping boy SL rabble twice instead of just once in consecutive games is definitely the easier ride before the really important Semi Finals take place. IMHO of course.


Catalan are whipping boy SL rabble just like Huddersfield are. Any distinctions being made between the two are shallow at best.


A lot on this forum reckoned it would be a tough clash last season at home to the whipping boy Hull FC rabble. It wasn't then and it won't be next week either. Leeds to win comfortably... again.


Might be close but Leeds will win.

Wake me up when it's proper Semi Final time involving only the genuine contenders and all the whipping boy SL rabble have been eliminated during the next two tedious weeks of unnecessary play-off fixtures.

Thanks in anticipation.

Biff - just put him on your ignore list and as long as people don't quote him then you don't see his pathetic posts. He's a sort of crap Lord Haw-Haw character with nothing to say of any value. People used to engage him but most CBA these days.

I would disagree with Herr Eve - if you are going to have one home fixture you need to make the most of the advantage - in a tight game it can make the difference. Leeds "should" be able to beat Wakey even at BV, beating the Catalans will be a different proposition and home advantage could have been crucial. I would much rather play Wigan away and Catalans at home than Wakey at home and Catalans away. Of course Catalans could beat Wigan?

There will be nothing better than to make you eat your words next week when the 'whipping boys' come to town

Even the Bookies agree with William Eve

Best odds available

Weeeegan 5/4
Warrington 11/8
St Helens 9/1
Leeds 12/1
Catalans 20/1
Hull 60/1
Hudds 150/1
Wakey 175/1

Don't even consider wasting money on Hudds & Wakey.....it's those big odds that pay for the bookies Porsche each year.
For Hull fans, if you're not sure how big a number 60 is...then count all your fingers and thumbs and multiply by 5

Very rude and disrespectful of you!









#1. Who put 40 points past you at Headingley (even though that team lost)?
#2. Who anihilated you at Belle Vue in July?
#3. Who have won the last seven matches on the bounce?
#4. Catalans (should you get there) whipping boys? Oh puh-leaze.

Take one match at a time or else you'll get nowhere near Old Trafford, never mind Wigan or Catalans.
