With the play-off's looming and all teams wanting to hit their best form over the coming weeks, when were Leeds as a team and a club at their best? Was it the cricket scores we clocked up over the past two games or the close encounters mid season where character came through and got us the two points?

Well, for me, this would have to be the closer matches. That was where we came together as a team and showed what we were made of!

These matches are the ones that will prepare us for the up-coming play-offs.

which ones?

Wakefield and Warrington spring to mind x

I dont think that the Rhinos have been at their best yet all season!

A shocking state of affairs really IMO when you consider the fact that we havn't produced a complete 80 minutes yet all season and are currently top of the league

That's why we're champions!!!!!

Totally agree with this statement.
I would think that Castleford has been the closest to our best this season, yet we still made mistakes in that game.

That's a fair point mate but there's been that throughout the league imo.
I think it's great that teams like salford are winning games no-one expects them to and the emergance of HKR and the Giants is good for the league.
I also think the short pre-season has had an effect on us and saints and both squads have lost key players throughout the season.
I also think that the buderus/diskin rotation hasn't worked as well as hoped.
That said we are still top and imo we can still retain the title.

Leeds haven't been at their best since Tony Smith left, fortunately some of his methods have remained inprinted in this current side and that has seen them continue to get by in a very poor league.

THought the game at Quins was a good performance. Scored a lot of points looked threatening, and were defemsively pretty solid

It was if you ignore the first fifteen minutes when we were absolutely shocking.

Last time I saw us play at our best was the GF in 07.

Surely the 2008 WCC matched that.

Not really, we were poor with ball in hand that night. Obviously the conditions were bad but we still dropped a lot of ball.

Last decent performance was 2008 Grand Final. Would desagree with previous post. I thought defensively we were at our best in the first quarter of 2008 season under McClellan. i also think when we put things together we are a better attacking team under him also.
