Can't disagree at all. Unfortunately I bought our season tickets believing that we would want to win the league and challenge cup and would play accordingly. Perhaps the RFL should introduce a 'playoff season ticket' then I won't be obliged to watch a comedy of errors all year and will be less frustrated.

I think that winning from 5th was a bit of a freak last year, but it has certainly made people in the game question the headlong dash for 1st and 2nd. Will this help the standard of play in the SL generally?

[sizeIt will[/size be the case, the Cream always comes to the Top.

Leeds winning from fifth will be rarely emulated. Leeds had a bad first half of the season due to injuries to McGuire and peacock. With those two back we were a far better side than the likes of Huddersfield. The winners this year will come from the top 4

The current ridiculous play-off system and the lack of prestige given to winners of the hubcap means that this stage of the season is little more than a succession of warm up matches before the business end of the season.

It's obvious from last night that both teams are way off their peak and this is no accident. Leeds have shown that it is much more important to time a run of good form than to try to play consistently well all season, now that there is much less benefit in finishing 1st or 2nd.

It's a good job that there is so much rivalry between the fans because the result in itself doesn't matter much, sadly and without that rivalry last night's game would have been a non-event.
