Quote: Wire_85 "Depends on format though

Really is my last post but for me 1st should go to OT then its a massive reward for coming top problem with that is the gap without a game, that would leave
I don't think moving the goalposts to suit your argument is a win. That's not the type of top 5 we are talking about as you well know.

Tonight just showed how little the RL press know about the thing they report on.

A number of Leeds players where ahead of Sinfield for MoM tonight for me:

Peacock
Ablett
Burrow
Delaney

to name four.

Fleabag
You haven't been watching the game for very long have you ?

This is the Wigan board/section.

Have a look at the RL history books.

Was it 8 in a row ?

And how many times World club champs ?

No club has won anywhere near Wigans record for trophies.


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigan_Warriors

Been watching the game for a lon long time and Leeds have also won their fair share of tropheys pre SL era. But guess what we have all moved on and we are now in a new era it is called the Super League era and just look how many tropheys we have wonin that era. So stop living in the past you bitter and twisted old git. Fancy that distinctly average Mr Sinfield winning the MOM. Must be fixed icon_rolleyes.gif

But it is a purely subjective choice and any different group will have a different opinion on the day.

I thought Delaney and Peacock had a fantastic game, indeed our whole pack were up there and laid the foundation for victory along with a game plan for which McD must be given top credit. We took the pivitol players out of the game aned generally reduced them to a one out game.

But to pick a MOM award out of a great team performance is difficult and I would award it to Sinfield for outstanding contribution not least his kicking game both at goal and in general play and for his leadership.

We could have gone to pieces when Ryan Atkins snatched the lead again after the break but I believe that the Leeds captain stepped up and drove his team on to victory.

The game was fantastic especially for a final and BOTH teams deserve to be applauded.

---yup-- icon_surprised.gifops: but theres always next year,and you never know,it could be the year of the icon_lol.gif having said that im now pondering whether to renew my season ticket icon_eek.gif because ,even tho wire have had a brilliant season,yet again a team from 5th,who were well behind us and you on points diff,are now officially classed as champs,its not sour grapes talking,because we did actually win the league last year and were just pipped by a point this season

and we would have been worthy champs if we won,it just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth and it just does not seem right leeds are now champs!a lot of fans i know feel the same way,it really does not make any sense to have a team finish fifth in a league to end up as champions.oh well.roll on nxt year i guess.

Hopefully a few chair people of the top teams will do something about it and complain. Sadly I think the only way that anything would be done is if someone like Wigan or Saints won from 5th after Leeds had finished 1st. The RFL won't do a thing while it benefits Gary Hetherington's pocket.

You’re right mate last night’s result was an absolute disaster for the game of rugby league. If things don’t change does anyone else think that Leeds might want to finish fifth again next season. Please don’t tell me to get over it, they deserve it, they did it the hard way, it’s just sour grapes and I wouldn’t say it if Wigan had won in the same way. Well you’re wrong, believe me I would have.

Take off your cherry and white blinkers and see the big picture ! The champions are the team that wins the grand final end of. If the champions were the team that finishes top, then Warrington would have won the title because they were the most consistant team over the year and rested and rotated their older players to keep them fresh for the play offs. They also put out a reserve team prior to wembley and lost the two points that would have given them the title. The only reason you would chose to finish higher up the table is to make your play off games easier and to obtain a second chance from finishing in the top two. Games through the season are not meaning less, is just that Leeds have won back to back Grand finals from 5th so everyones jumping on the band wagon saying weekley games are.

Please take some time to ackowledge what a champion team Leeds have been over the last eight years in a salary cap competition. They have never broken the cap like some and are currently spending under the cap. Adam Pearson and Ian Lennegan can spend all they want prizing contracted players from other clubs to try and buy sucess, but local lads with a never say die attitude is a winning combination no club, not even Wigan can buy under the current rugby league structure. c020.gif

Your winning the 'play off final' , is just akin to winning the Challenge cup isn't it ?

Win a few matches and proclaim yourselves champions, which is a misnomer.

Fair play for winning the cup, again.

But to use the title 'Champions' is an oxymoron.

Hell, even Wakey turned you over this season, as well as many other clubs.

So the only sure fire way of becoming champions is to win the League?
If Warrington or Saints became Champions by winning the GF you would still complain as they finished 2nd or 3rd.
Or is it just because Leeds won it again you think it is a bad idea?
The champions of SL is the team that wins the GF.
The league fixtures are all about gaining an advantage in the play offs.
These are the rules and these are the rules all the SL clubs signed up to.
Oh and yes we did get beat by Wakefield in the League even Widnes beat some of the top teams this year!!
