If we win the LLS. That will satisfy me this season.
But the arrogance of some (not all) Wigan, Warrington, Leeds, and even Hull fans. Seem to think we will be pushovers for them at our place in the play-offs.

I really hopes this motivates our lads to push on and win the GF.

Anderson should put some of these comments off the message boards on the dressing room walls to motivate the lads.

I hope our players do not give a toss.

They should be doing it for themselves their coach and their fans and if that is not motivation enough I dont know what is


The day they need motivaton via what is said on the net is probably the day they should pack it in and do something else.

Anderson knows what he is doing and thank God he does what he does not what you suggest as you are so far of the mark its untrue.

exactly, let others worry about us or not as the case may be, we have proved already this season that wigan leeds and saints hold no fear for us and we are capable of smacking their asses, now warrington on the other hand..........

Taking Hull completely out of it (don't even know why we've been included!) If I was a Wire, Leeds or Wigan fan, I'd rather play Hudds in the play offs. It's just a fact, no need to get defensive about it. Once you've reached the grand final or won it then it might change, but up until then it won't.

No problem with others wanting us and can kind of see why but in truth you get who you get and if we carry on playing well we should do fine whoever we play. I for one wont get upset with what other fans think nor gloat if we do the business....what will be will be.

this

Firstly, the hudds players will already be highly motivated to win the grand final to suggest they would take any notice of opinions on a forum, or that it would somehow increase their motivation is terribly wrong.

Secondly, it's not arrogance, the fans don't want to disrespect hudds but it's simply an instinctive opinion. The instinct of leeds, wigan and warrington fans is telling them that, regular season results aside, we'll have a better chance against hudds than any of the other top 4 teams.

Have hudds ever won or made a grand final? No. Wigan leeds and wire all have.

Finally, your first sentence, to me is a defeatist attitude. If you lose in the playoffs you can just come back to this and say, we don't care as we were happy with the LLS.

You might never get a better chance to make and win the grand final. The LLS literally means eff all because it doesn't give you the title of champions. It's almost something for teams on the periphery who can put abit of consistency together and win 'something' to give themselves backslaps while the real contenders don't bust a gut to try and win it. This looks exactly what is going to transpire with hudds this season. Saints finished top 5 seasons on the trot, does anyone really remember...or care? If that had been grand finals, they'd be talked about as one of the greatest club teams in the countries history.

I just can't understand this limp acceptance to just win the LLS, it's a pathetic attitude. I'm sure the players are the total opposite.

Exactly, look after yourselves. Big test this playoff series, but you've certainly got the squad capable.

At this moment in time we will not get a better chance of winning the GF. All the 2013 squad available for selection (apart from Luke O'Donnell and Stuart Fielden obviously) and sitting top of the table. PA will be going full tilt at winning all our games to the end of the season - I've no doubt about that. You can't play RL half hearted or you end up busted.

Looks like Wane is giving his all for 4th with our team selection. And quite rightly so.

"Chris Tuson will Captain the Cherry and Whites as the most experienced player in the squad".

Yep, Wane is going all out not to finish 4th!

The league leaders shield means eff all.

Only to the teams that haven't won it that season or to arrogant fools, to me it means your the best team of the season cos its given to the team with most points in the league and who have been consistent week by week

Hope we go onto win the GF cos if we do the LLS still means means a hell of a lot more to me than a money making 4 game play off (the Challenge Cup is the knock out comp)

I have stated this numerous times that I would rather win the LLS than GF but unless we do no one would believe me but IMO the Champions are the ones who win the league as in most sporting competitions I know of!!

Is there any dosh involved or is the LLS deemed sufficient reward?

If Wigan finish fourth and play Hudds i can't see anything other than a Hudds win, so let them finish 4th, but who would you pick in the club call in a choice of Wigan and Leeds?

Please be Leeds
