He fawns all year over Warrington, even to the expense of his own team, spends his time posting on the Wire board proclaiming that Leeds have no chance against the Wolves. Then as soon as the final whistle is blown, jumps on here and blows smoke rings up the arris of Leeds and Kevin Sinfield.
A social chameleon, who despite his attempts at being "risky", just wants everyone's approval.
All this back slapping is quite nauseating.
The Richie Mathers of RLfans'"
Not at all, you just have to doff the cap when a team achieves what Leeds did tonight. It was a special performance from them. |

whats huddersfield got to do with whether this leeds team are the best ever? Im not belittling leeds' achievement im just offering my opinion that they are by no means the best team ever, best team when it matters in september/october but 4 games doesn't make a great team

yet they still have naysayers..... unbelievable'"
So how would you compare playing 4 games a season and being lauded as the best to the NRL, rather than some american sport? |

People will stop going to regular season games. Seriously, Leeds have proved their is no point in having in. None what-so-ever. What a waste of season ticket money to watch 13 friendlies a season.

No. Leeds have been the best from start to finish. That's why they won the WCC, made the cup final and won the Grand Final. I don't like them, but this is comfortably the best team of my lifetime, and I don't imagine there can ever have been many better than them. 5 titles in 6 years is impressive by any standards surely? |

My counter argument to that would be...an under cooked aussie team.
They had one tuff game in the semi final of CC and the couldn't back it up in the final.
They massivley under performed in the league campain and scraped fifth, and then decided it was time to turn it on.
Perhaps i ask to much |

Leeds have lost 22 league games in the past 2 seasons. Thats almost a season's worth of losses. Simply cannot be a great team. Saints won 4 leagues in a row(05, 06, 07, 0icon_cool.gif and didn't get anywhere near this kind of recognition. In fact i bet in Saints 4 in a row of finishing top, they lost less league games than this Leeds team that have won back-to-back championships. Crazy. Yet people call this Leeds team great. Some people cannot see beyond the Sky Sports propaganda machine. |

What does it matter? If they changed the rules, Leeds would change their approach. |

Spot on - Doesn't matter how many games Leeds have won/lost. They've only lost 2 knockout games out of 19 in the last 2 seasons. Nobody else can come close can they? |

But everyone knows at the start of the season what the rules are, and that the team who wins the Grand Final is the Champions. If it was decided on the LLS at the end of the season who the Champions were I'm sure they'd take the regular season more seriously. To win the Grand Final from 5th 2 years in a row is, IMO, a better achievement than winning it from top 2 years in a row. |

Err only they didn't...Bradford won the championship in 2005 and Leeds won in 07 and 08 (and 09 if we really want to get into that).
Bottom line is Leeds have now won 5 out of the last 6 titles... simply an astounding achievement  |
