Oh I know there fans do, but it seems anyone outside of there club do not, maybe it is because they have not watched them for the past 15 weeks?

well of cause they could be in MPG, and well all know it is a danger, and it could happen, nothing is given, but it probably wont happen, forget current recent form its what happens over the next 8 weeks (including CC semi) that matters. this season is all reset now and Leeds know this and will have been preparing over last 2-3 weeks will have been gearing towards middle 8's and semi.
no body says it will be easy or a stroll but Leeds will prevail and will finish 1st or 2nd.

i think you your opinions are just fanciful, people really overestimating how good other sides are and how bad Leeds are, yes Salford won easily Friday, but if we just went on who beat who and when there would be no point anybody playing anyone we could just decide it all on recent form and not bother playing. Leeds Beat saints and should have beet then a second time a few weeks aglow. does not work like that.

TBF most of them on there are like that all the time even in title winning seasons. Think they’re happiest when things they can be moaning.

Meh, meaningless game the week before a Cup semi and we rested several, can’t believe anybody is putting any real emphasis on it. Strongest team available in a must win game and at Headingley will be a different story.

Played against a club struggling to put a 17 together and even had a red card and down to 12 men for an hour. But if you want to persist with the ‘eyes on the cup’ to suit your argument, then you can only hope the management at Leeds aren’t as deluded as you.

Actually, form is everything. Losing is a habit, a habit Leeds are struggling with. Just because your team is called Leeds Rhinos doesn't make you immune to relegation.

As for CC vs M8s? Do you risk getting players injured in a game that is arguably less important than the following 7?

The massive difference between Leeds and other clubs is that financially they could survive easily if they got relegated for a year or two. Other clubs face abject ruin.

There is absolutely no way on this green earth that Leeds will be in the MPG.

I will because we have form in this department. We lost to Bradford before the CC Sf in 2014 and London before the final of that same year, both were relegated that year. We went to Hudds final day of 2012, were dreadful and got hammered 48-24 and they played with only 12 men for 70 mins, we went on to win 4 playoff games in a row.

Not saying form isn’t important but we could’ve easily won that and then get smashed in the CC semi and have that undone anyway.

People seem to be forgetting the difference in fixtures. Leeds have got the best set of games. We have 4 home games compared to Widnes and Salford’s 3 and no trips abroad. Whilst on the face of it our home form looks poor when you look at W-L record, a closer look at the losses. Saints, Cas and Wigan beat us by a single point, that’s 3 of your top 4. We were beating Warrington with around 10 to go, Catalans nicked it in the last minute, Wakey drew. For as poor as we’ve been this year teams that are in the top 4/8 have only just managed to scrape wins at Headingley. If they can only just win at Headingley then tells you how tough it’ll be for Middle 8 teams. When Salford and Widnes came calling it was 20-0 & 34-0 respectively.

The difference is that you had a good team back then. Your squad, even admitted by Leeds own fans is rubbish. To many hasbins and very average youngsters. This is no dig at you, just an outside observation.

If they were it would make the back pages of most papers (and I suspect give Ian Lenegan a hard on).......

Father! Father!

Granted our team isn’t as good as it once was but still good enough to negotiate the middle 8’s. Still most of a squad that’s won at least one If not more GF’s.

Some Leeds fans say the squad is rubbish every single year and whenever things aren’t going smoothly so that really doesn’t mean anything. We didn’t stand a chance of silverware in 2015 according to many Leeds fans because the squad wasn’t good enough with too many hasbins.

I don't think for a minute we'll be in the MPG but strangely, if we were, I'd hope we'd lose. Because a proper kick up the and a proper rebuild would be in order if we truly were that bad.
