Quote: DHM "And the results from all the Grand Finals -bar one - since the competition began have been contested between the teams finishing in the top two places of the league.
You could also say that with the skewing of the fixture list over the last few years and the fact that the league leadership has been decided by the odd point or two for the same period(apart from 2004 of course), that actually the lead leaders shield does not clearly define the Champion team. Champion teams perform on big occasions, that's what sport is all about.'"
Leeds must be poor then, they bottle the Challenge Cup every year.
