They never mate

Yes they did.
They were the next highest qualifier after Wigan and Saints

Wire "lost" their third place when they got beaten by Huddersfield.

Woohoo! Big deal.

so by your measure, wire came 5th? tell them that on their board and let me know the reaction

That's how it works, and how the prize money is dished out.

1) Wigan (now that feels good)
2) Saints (again)
3) Leeds
4) Huddersfield
5) Warrington
6) Hull K.R
7) Hull
8 Crusaders

That is what i thought

I don't feel too bad about seeing wire fifth. It was a slip up.

Getting third was a slip. /Getting Fifth was a slip.

Have you any proof of this?

I've only ever heard Wigan fans (and now Leeds) claim this to be the case to make it seem like they finished higher, than the league table suggests. You may be right, i am genuinely asking for some proof of this.

Saints finished top of the league in 2007 & 2008 yet Leeds were champions i.e top after the play offs.

The play offs decide the final positions, not the league table.

To save any argument its just better to win both the league and play offs

Correct. End of argument.

Or not, just the fact that the majority of your lot should've learnt not to write us off. What happened in 2007 & 2008 when we were wrote off by one and all?



Definately, think it could go either way for us. Yes i am a tad skeptical about the appointment but listening to the players, they're all saying that Brian MacD is the right man for the job, so i'll reserve judgement until i get a feel for how we're performing.
