Most so called Leeds fans on here don't deserve to support such a team

Thanks for your opinion, its a bit of a dumbfook one, but thanks anyway.

No problem

Very, very good point. When are people going to learn that you simply cannot write off this group of players? This has been a very strange season, with unexpected results happening left right and centre, and each of the top 5 or 6 teams suffering at least one shock result against teams they would usually expect to beat easily. For all the ifs, buts, whys, wherefores, "sack the coach", "drop so and so", "play the kids" etc etc etc, one simple fact remains... Leeds have played two really big, meaningful games this season. They have won them both.

and how about the rest of the games they have been average to poor in?

you are easily pleased with two great performances a season

Or you could say Leeds supporters deserve the team that is capable of beating Wigan turning up more often - 6 games ago at home for example. Especially season ticket holders.

What nonsense. Remember when Keith Senior mentioned on twitter many moons ago that players sometimes come on here to laugh at the comments? Well going by your logic the players wouldn’t deserve the fans that they have if what Keith Senior said was true.

We all deserve each other because we’ve invested so much time in Leeds Rhinos. Yeah at times it hasn’t been great but what is great all the time?

Think he makes a crap point to be honest. I assume I deserve to support the team more because I actually went to the game rather than sit and home and then make pompous statements on the internet etc.

I love it when people set themselves up to tell everyone what to do and ho to act. We are in the final we should be happy not trying to wind up people and set oneself up as "better than everyone else"

Damo not seen you on here for a while how has the radio project gone?

How Ironic for a poster to say such a thing, after such a good performance and great game attended by many thousand Leeds fans, which judging by the time of of the opening posters post, he didn't even attend.

Was he having a dig at himself?

Spot on

Do you think that was a great Leeds performance today? Leeds deserved their win and played okay but still only won by 9 points in a game where Wigan were awful, with a completion rate of 60%, and Leeds were gifted 3 tries by the ref and others through shocking individual errors by Wigan players. Indeed despite all this Wigan still scored 28 points. Todays win will just paper over the cracks at Leeds for another season.

Our only weakness was one player, who gifted you all but one. Had he not been there you wouldn't have come within cooey.

but maybe caused a few cracks in the wigan camp ?

I completely see your point, however:

At the beginning of the season if you'd offered me, by this stage of the season, a WCC win, a place in the CC final after beating Wigan against the odds in the semi, and 5th place in the league, still within striking distance (albeit admittedly an outside shot...) I'd have taken it in a heartbeat. Would I have liked us to have played better in the league and lost less games? Obviously... But in life you very rarely if ever get everything you want. In 2005 we were almost unstoppable for the first two thirds of the season, but yet ended up winning sweet FA. Last year we were pretty awful for the first two thirds of the season, yet we won a Grand Final and, as a direct result, a WCC. Which year was a better year to be a Leeds fan when all was said and done?

Of course, there's a 50/50 chance we will lose at Wembley again, and I would be foolish to expect another Grand Final win from 5th, but this Leeds team have taught me to never give up, no matter what. More often than not (with the exception of CC finals) Leeds have made a habit of winning when it really matters. This year, hopefully we can put things right at Wembley - if we come out of this season with a WCC and a Challenge Cup, you won't find me caring too much about what league matches we did and didn't win.

The bigger picture is that, with the WCC and the Wembley final, it will be another profitable year financially for the club. At a time when finances in rugby league are under the microscope more than ever, this should not go unmentioned - transition periods are inevitable in sport, but regularly making it to finals will make any such transition a lot less difficult, meaning that there will be every chance of future success. Personally, after a win like that today, a few poor league displays mean very little to me.
