Quote Cherry_&_White="Cherry_&_White"Think that's right, but I also think this is a very different Leeds without Sinfield & Peacock (accept that we've had our fingers burned having said that before!)
I don't rate McDermott especially highly, and I'm not sure the culture of 'turning it on when the chips are down' is necessarily still there. Might get a bit clearer as we approach the date, but for me it's a toss of a coin which is the more difficult game.'"
Agreed. To be honest I think this is the last year to fear them in play offs as they still have Maguire, Burrow, JJB and Ablett who all won 6 or 7 Grand Finals each (along with the associated play off campaigns, which previously involved more games, obviously).
I suppose only the players can tell you how important big game experience is for play off games, but I think there is a reason we have two of the same four grand finalists almost every year. For that reason, regardless of form, I wouldn't want Leeds standing between us and Old Trafford if we can help it.
