They will finish in the top eight, comfortably and will be contesting a GF spot, comfortably.

Correct, anyone who writes off Leeds are crazy.

I agree to a degree with the OP..

We had a similar injury crisis (3 years ago i think) and we were told we were making excuses for poor performances..
Hull F.C. had serious injury crisis's 2 seasons running and had the same thing said to them..

At the start of this season a lot of people were saying Leeds easily have the strongest squad in the league,with one or two actually predicting they would go through the season unbeaten..

During the Wigan v Leeds match on Friday Eddie and Stevo spent most of the match crying about this injury ravaged Leeds side...

There are 19 regular round matches to go. Leeds have 6 points.

In 2009, to have finished fourth, a club needed 35 points, i.e. 15 out of the next 19 games - hard, but not impossible for Leeds.

In 2008 and 2007, they would have needed 29 and 30 points, i.e. 12 out of the next 19 games - highly likely.

Therefore, I am pretty confident in predicting Leeds will finish top 4.

In past seasons 15 wins from 19 games would be a very acheivable target for Leeds, however IMO there are two major obstacles to doing that in 2010. Firstly they are current under the cosh with injuries and it isn't as if they are all going to heal over the next few days. Secondly, in past seasons the competition has effectlively been a two horse race, that is far from the case this year.

I am certainly not dismissing Leeds chances, but IMO it is starting to look unlikely that they will make the top four. Having said that, if there is any team that is capable of going all the way from outside the top four, then (assuming they have most of their squad available by then) it would be Leeds.

Ha ha ha! Not heard that phrase for about 10 years!

I think you have read it out of context , I haven't said Leeds have said anything , It's them muppets on sky I have a beef with !

So youve lost to Wigan and now saints, so is it Leeds turn to become your "rivals"?

This thread is going nowhere.

Skiting threads generally don't

It baffles me how this fella has the ability to start threads; he's proven over the years he's a typing imbecile. Add this thread to the long list of calamity moments from Padders, at least you're consistent, squire.

Oh dear, the fella that started this thread has put some nice pressure on Warrington to come better off than Leeds this season.

Bookmarked for sure.

Take no notice. The same guy said Chirs Bridge was made of biscuit.
