I realise you are from South Leeds but what other outcomes would you expect when both of those 4th placed teams were whipping boy SL rabble clubs?

How can you be champions when everyone knows at the start knows first doesn't = champions?

STFU you chocking uppity pretenders.

It's as relevant as saying, well actually 6th = champions, so yay well done hull fc you are champions.

All we've heard all season is about your precious regular season results, about how you've beaten this team, and that team. We've tried to tell you the playoffs are a different kettle of fish but you simply wouldn't have it. Believing those teams played at their title contending best.

Well are you listening now?

Anderson messed up playing a weakened team last week. Form is very easy to lose, and much harder to gain or keep. Doug Laughton did the very same before CC finals and 'resting' big names was as stupid then as it is now.

We should also remember though that Leeds lost their first playoff game several times in the years when we could afford to.

But apparently it's all because of the format and those two teams were innocent victims of the format. Are you now suggesting that flaws in the format depend solely on what teams finish in what places?

Because I could've sworn I'd said all year that its the teams and not the format that has lead to the results we've seen.

It's both.

And the format is flawed.

And it will be ditched.

Get over it!

Huddersfield do now face a home game against either Hull/Catalans/HKR which they should probably still win. But tonights result means they will have to go away to either Headingley, DW or HJ and win.....Leeds have managed to win at the latter two venues the last two years but it's taken incredible efforts both times.
I felt Hudds best chance was to stay at home during the playoffs, that's now gone.

Leeds won the last two playoffs because they were best team.

Not because of the format.

You started a year long thread about attendances with Leeds win from 5th proving the league is meaningless as your motivation and conclusion.

Leeds Rhinos Super League Champions
2004 - 2007 - 2008 - 2009 - 2011 - 2012

Get over it!

Leeds won the last two SL titles via their own superior experience of playing the bigger games better and by taking full advantage of the opportunities the format provides by finishing 5th. It is no accident that Huddersfield have only ever won play-off games when finishing 5th. The format is flawed in so many other ways and you really need to get over the likelihood that it will be ditched.


I started a thread on SL attendances this year in order to highlight all the bull with regard to SL attendances the previous season and I succeeded. Your contribution to that thread did you no favours... what was it? A contribution of around 70 bile-laden and bitter posts by you alone on that thread before you ran away with your tail between your legs.

Please desist from stalking my posts - you are neither interesting nor intelligent enough.

Meh. Leeds need to simply concentrate on the task in hand and winning on saturday. The best chance to get to old trafford is winning tomorrow and getting the home tie. Whatever happens after happens. We get club call then we simply pick the lowest ranked team left and get on with business. We aren't going to moan, if we are good enough we will beat who we have to.

Does last nights result change anything for anyone?

Certainly it looks likely wigan will be in the final now, though if we win tomorrow and hudds get knocked out we can pick the lowest ranked team (most likely the one knocking hudds out) sending warrington to wigan (providing warrington win) which will put a spanner in the works for wigan.

If hudds bottle it again a leeds wire final is on.

Quit bellyaching about the playoff system.

If you are good enough to be champions you will beat who you have to beat in the system provided.

Pahahahahahahahahahaha.

Pahahahahahahahahahaha.
