| well due to this ridiculous play off system they could go all the way through the season being the best team handing out hidings to all their rivals only to find they weren't the best team, a much lower placed were the best team afterall.

| The real question here is about how good Leeds are this season.
There is no doubt that Wigan are right on top of their game and credit them for that, but Leeds are not anywhere near the top of their game, although the will become stronger later in the season.
Also, nothing is won in June, its just 2 points and as Warrington found out last season finishing top counts for little.

| Wigan playing ace at moment but all it takes is a one off game that can change their flow of the season. There could well be a "what happend to Wigan" or "Are Wigan the Man utd of rugby league" thread come end of season.

| IMO there's just a wee bit of a discrepancy between being the best in Europe for a limited period in a game played in a handful of countries and being the best in the world for many years in a game played almost universally.
I'd like to thank the op though. I was pretty down about last night until the title of this thread made me chuckle.

Real Madrid and Warrington Wolves, there is a link - both have a smug, arrogant coach who thinks his squad is better than what they actually are.

The difference being Mourinho is the best manager in football, Smith is not the best coach in rugby.
I'd say the Madrid team is under rated too, people bang on about Barca all the time, Madrid were the ones who won the league.

Yeah, if you haven't got a point or a valid observation just make one up, mega lolz! I haven't seen a single Leeds fan defend our atrocious form using last years end of season heroics, and I don't believe there are any Rhinos out there who are happy with the situation at the minute our confident we can recover from it. It's good that you make yourself laugh though.
A for fans comparing you to Wire last year being desperation? I give you wigan of last year. Remind me, how did you get on against Warrington in the final? I can only assume that you're just over excited about the new trophy given out for doing well halfway through the season, The Cretins Cup? Congratulations, you won.
