Isn't that the problem? To me it seems that the coach and team seem to think that, despite this slump, they will automatically be ready for and will win the GF, so why bother. Arrogance? Complacency? You can't turn form on and off when it suits. You have to work your way out of a slump in form and the present set of players (JP apart) don't seem to want to do that. No problem for them as there is virtually no competition for places.

The fact is that Super League is now so competitive (Outside the top 2) that the team finishing third will probably lose 10 league games this season. If losing to Salford in April means you are in second and as fresh as a daisy as opposed to top and held together with spit and masking tape, surely it's worth doing?

Leeds and Saints both know already that the play offs are a guaranteed outcome. The step up in intensity doesn't need to happen until September, it's the main problem of the grand final system and why increasing the playoffs to 8 teams is stupid, it just rewards poor performances.

but you can't turn form on and off. and with respect you didn't see the gash that was served up today

We did last year and the year before and ended up champions before that.

Grow a pair tad. Keep the faith.

as i have said before you are not as good as you think. not going to any better for yer cos theres nowt for yer against huddersfield.

Still better than Cas

i still think we can win g,
you do get peed off at times though

Tremendous ambition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Utter rubbish

Leeds were shattered at the end of the Bulls game they wanted to win it that's for sure
I'm sure the Salford game was the same you can't just switch players on or off thats just tripe

Exactly. The team can't suddenly say 'we've been playing rubbish for weeks now, but it's August so we'll start to play well now ready for the GF'. It just doesn't work that way and anyone on the message board who thinks that form will automatically return towards the end of the season may be in for a massive shock.

maybe some are being unsettled by the reports that gareth ellis is trying to persuade a few of his x leeds team mates to follow his move to the nrl.

Yeah, we need to save ourselves for the playoffs and grand final.

No doubt saints though, will work fingers to the bone, run themselves ragged and practically kill themselves winning the CC and finishing top (probably just a point above the indifferent rhinos..s).

lol.

Theres MONTHS to go, you douche.

Form can change in a few weeks.

I don't see why everyone is beefing and sh*tting themselves. You're all a bunch of IDIOTS.

coming from someone who switches alias's depending on who he is supporting this week i find that ironic to say the least
