his posts are almost Wigan-Esq.............someone let Phil Clarke know ...

congrats to leeds

the rules of the game say that the best team at the end of the season is crowned champions and that was leeds

wire were the team who were on average best over the ordinary rounds of superleague... some of us are philosophical about this some of us are a bit bitter (amazing how all of a sudden we have become concerned about the justness of the playoff format!)

however, imo, and i admit this is the opinion of a wire speccie who thinks we deserve more plaudits... why do we even need the playoffs??? we already have a far far superior knock-out competition (superior to the playoffs that is) called the challenge cup... why not move the semi finals and final to the end of the season, replacing the playoffs (which i think everyone agreed were a bit rubbish this year except for the semi finals and final)

this would reinject life into the oldest rugby league trophy in the world (which imo is flagging a bit), still provide a knock out tournament at the end of the season, most likely for 4 teams from the top 6 depending on draw (but there could be a surprise) and would allow more time for an expanded exiles series

Sgtwilko has gone home, after 2 hours non stop....huzzah

wouldnt mind he said he isnt trolling he posted out the blue on the what for next season topic with an equally demeaning post

What did he say?

He virtually said "ner, ner, nerner, ner, to anyone that rubbished my team (that must include thousands of his own fans)" and did that thing with his thumbs stuck in his ears, and his fingers waggling at the same time

didn't exactly cover himself in glory (imo)

Leeds have won 4 titles in the last 5 years.

So it wasn't just won by 'anyone'. It was won by a team with a proven pedigree of winning, that trsuggle to cope with a new coaching set up and injuries at the start of the season.

If it was that easy to win from outside the top 2, why has it happened only twice in 14 years?

Go on, finish 5th next year and ''peak at the right time'' and see how easy you find it.

He who laughs last, laughs loudest.

I remember copping thrashings from you earlier in the season and your fans were giving it to us. Old team, past it yadda yadda.

But when the pressure was on.......

Hahaha

Loving these Leeds fan trying to make out its not a shock at all that Leeds team coming 5th playing shocking most of the season won a Grand Final.

We should of seen it coming!

Of course it's a shock!

No one saw it coming.
