I'd say that your entire post consists of total bullsh*t wouldn't you? |

If Warrington would have won tonight ALL credibility for the sport would have gone out of the Window.
Our sport needs more coverage and the way to achieve this is by having recognisable places/names as it's champions. Who would realistically want to watch a sport where the champion side came from Warrington? It would make the game a laughing stock.
No one outside will either know or care what position Leeds finished in.'"
I couldn't care less if the Champions are from a village as long as they weren't crowned from 5th place. |

I'd have preferred Warrington to have won.
Leeds have had an average season and won the league, again. Fair play to them but as has been said, it makes the sport look ridiculous.

No I'd say he's spot on.
3 challenge Cup finals and 2 SL finals in 3 seasons says to me that Leeds are better than their league table suggests.
Not their fault they play the system better than anyone else or have a savvy coach who doesn't flog his side in April. |

And that's why SL is in the gutter.
You might not care but the rest of the country does. The rest of the nation has never heard of Warrington.
Warrington as champs = zero credibility |

Warrington as champs
Champions from 5th = minus 5 credibility (imagine what it will be like if one day 8th was to be crowned as CHAMPIONS)
The reason SL (and RL in general) is in the gutter lies in the hands of those at the RFL.

What was the result when Leeds beat Saints this year in the play-offs? And v Wigan last year?

Leeds are the most unworthy "champions" in the entire history of the game. I suspect you know this also. |

They don't play the system better. Anyone who thinks they engineered this is living in cloud cuckoo land.
They have benefited from the system as it stands. There is a BIG difference. |

I think unworthy is unfair dave, granted the system is flawed , but Leeds have proven again that they know how to win big games and achieve success....you can only go out and do your best in the format that is laid out , and thats what Leeds have done...they ahve achieved what everyone else set out to do , so unworthy...definately not |

Thats the system.
The New York Giants won the superbowl last season but had unspectacular pre playoff form. No loss of credibility there? That's because they accept the system and people gear for that one game. Whole seasons are planned to generate that one special moment.

I'm sorry but how have they benefited? Its a benefit playing every week away at Wigan and Catalans and then beating the 2nd placed side in the final? Thats cuckoo land.
Its blindingly obvious to me that Leeds peak at the right time. They do what they need to get in the play offs then back their talent to beat anyone else in them.
They've had it harder than we and Wire have this season and last. |

Exactly! It really is that simple. And no-one is blaming them, as some are suggesting. |
