At the moment its looking likely that Hull KR finish in the top half of the table - they are playing some decent stuff

To be perfectly honest, the LLS should be viewed as a distraction. If we win it by default as we approach the final matches then that's fine, but the team need to focus 100% on Old Trafford and nothing else.

I'd like to see how things pan out with the next two games, that are away from the HJS. This will give us a better idea of where were at.
As for the league leaders shield, done that, it's of no great consequence to us. Unless we get to see Simon Moran smacking Eddie Hemming's bare backside on the centre spot with it at Old Trafford, after winning the Grand Final.

+1

People said that in 2013, when we had Morley, the Monaghans, Briers, Hodgson and co, and didn't even have to face Leeds in the final...if we didn't win it then, we never would, they said. History has so far proved them right.

We have a better chance this year. The GF that is.

Avoid the unlucky foil roasting tin at all costs. Better to lose a final or semi when you haven’t got the pressure of expectation on you

Finally? We won the LLS in 2011 and 2016. Or do you mean Super League?

Plus Cas and Saints are both just as good as us. Wigan are always dangerous because of how good they are at home.

I think I got what our Robin friend said. Well the teams around us are poorer, especially Wigan, perhaps Saints might want to argue differently about themselves....the point being if we don't win something this season, we never will...can't give him an argument.

Treble this year. Nailed on.

If we don't win it this year then we never will is just nonsense

The team that saints won it with in 2014 was worse than each one that lost the previous 5 finals. When we win it, it will be with a team nowhere near as good as our 2011-2013 sides.

I'll have more expectations next year if we have Austin and Widdop together. As long as we don't lose the stand outs we have this year.

Of course it is.

Winning the shield means you need to win 1 game to reach the final.

If we are in it I want us to win it and will take all the pee taking that rivals will throw out and I don't really get or agree with the undervaluing of the comp to be honest.
