why would I be kidding? I don't give a toss about it. it means nothing unless you win the big one

It does, because it is significant prize money. And to finish top under this new format is quite some achievement compared to other years. But I still want the big one.

no idea about the money, and yes, it shows consistency, but the priority is a home semi final tie

100% agree with this

I think it's notable that Brian Mac has never pulled any punches when asked about the LLS, he always seems to answer with "it is something we've targeted this year". I think that's a clear difference to other years.

I suspect if you could have asked the players at the start of the season their priorities would have been 1. Win GF 2. LLS 3. Challenge Cup.

I don't think that's a reflection of actual importance more the golden generation wanting to cement their legacy and answer any critics

It would be nice, but nothing more. If we finished second (or for that matter third or fourth) but won the Grand Final I would be delighted as we'd rightly be champions and would have done the double by picking up the only two trophies that really matter.

Are Rhinos academy playing in Catalans too? The picture tweeted by Rhinos this morning appears to show Walters, Golding, Handley and Lilley. It is going to be very tough if all four of them play.

Before we reached the Cup Final and knew we were hot favourites for that I wasn't bothered as long as we were top 2 and a home playoff.

But since then the very real opportunity to achieve a very rare feat of a treble means I'd like to land it. What better way to send Sinfield and Peacock out than doing a treble, our single most successful year in their swansong.

If we don't win the LLS it has to be taken with a pinch of salt anyway. If we got knock out of the Cup in the quarters and Wigan reached and won at Wembley does anybody still think we'd currently be level on points right now?

I don't think since back when Saints did it in 06-08 has the LLS winner even reached and won at Wembley, and two of those years they lost the GF to us.

Team is on official twitter. Sticking with the single halfback tactic. No watkins, Ablett at centre. https://twitter.com/leedsrhinos/status/ ... 89123?s=09

I'll never understand that .

The right hand side defense is all over the place so far.

Stupid decisions so far. We need to get the ball back and try get some repeat sets.at least end with a good kick.

This one man up thing is dull, not working and very Wigan like

Still on the plane here. The defense is like a piece of Swiss cheese.

Horrific isn't it. Clueless with the ball and as usual with Sinny at hooker ,poor 5th options
