Leeds have history of winning the GF from a low finishing position - other teams will not want to give them that opportunity. Both Wigan and Hull know a win against Leeds at their ground takes out one of the perceived potential obstacles to them winning the GF - especially if Leeds were to get all their players back.

That particular ship of concern sailed away about 10 rounds ago. I doubt any SL club has perceived Leeds as an obstacle of any sort since, apart from being small and irrelevant speed bumps on the way to the tryline.

You are probably correct - still if I were Hull or Wigan I would want to flatten out even the smallest hump.

Leeds wouldn't qualify for the Top 4 even if they won their remaining 7 fixtures, scraped into the Top 8, and then won all 7 fixtures in the Super 8's. That would place them on 17 wins, 13 losses and 34 points which wouldn't be enough.

There's nothing worthwhile at Leeds left to flatten. They are an irrelevance to the Top SL clubs.

Why is there even wasted deliberation about the outcome of Leeds winning their remaining 7 fixtures? There is no bloody chance. Leeds WILL finish bottom

In the words of Gutenberg - just playing devil's advocate

In a WTF world where McDermott, aka Canute, can hold back the tide of team implosion.

I can't see a win until the middle 8s we look a million miles off even competing with another SL side. We look like a championship side and a pretty poor one at that and my fear is that we wont get through the middle 8s and even get to contest the million pound game

Ahh bless, William and two lapdogs yapping away all having a circle jerk together.

The point was not about avoiding the middle 8s just hitting them with a bit of momentum. Points may be wiped clean but confidence doesnt

You are a laughing stock - the fact you are the only one who cannot accept it is even more funny

What will be your next excuse?

How is that confidence going to return?

a lucky win?
