I don't think its anything to do with the Challenge Cup. I think we've just lost form in September/October. Its no more sinister than that. Leeds have hit form in September/October, simple.

Spot on.

Credit to Leeds, you'd have been sectioned in May or June if you said they'd reach both finals but they've timed the run-in perfectly.

We're not really comparable with Leeds on that front anyway, as they say, they finished 5th; they barely bothered to turn up at the beginning of the season, Wigan did.
