You are right in one thing, I have no answer as to why you think 9 games of the regular season suddenly become obsolete either after round 23 or round 30.

And if that's really all you had as a reply, I suggest you try much hardly post being rumbled.

Rumbled? Are you suggesting it's a co-incidence that it just happened to be exactly 1/3 of those games left? There's more chance of rovers winning the middle 8's than that being a co-incidence.

Anyone know if the LLS is handed out after this weekend's games or after the super 8s? Cheers.

It was handed out the week we lost top spot to wigan

Think we win the LLS if we beat Salford on Friday.
Open top bus journey and City Hall balcony appearance on Sunday if all goes well.

Only if we win, if we don't Koukash keeps it and mounts it on his mantlepiece next the grinning rictus racehorse skull of Rangi Chase

Nothing to do with coincidence. The regular season is 30 games long. Trying to repeatley convince yourself it's not is just making you out to look daft.

Really? the person who is questioning what I put despite me qualifying it and proving I was 100% right based on my rationale is the one looking daft and will look dafter still when he replies to this

With regard to how much kudos it gets you the LL trophy itself is virtually meaningless outside your own fanbase, even then to many it has no true value in the sense of silverware. Yes it's a physical award but with the play-offs still to go to reach the true finale it's always being a bit limp.

Nobody looks back (nor indeed is it registered in the clubs history) stating that Hull FC were the LLs in 1922/23 when Hull KR that won that seasons play-off, and vice versa in 20/21 when Hull won the play-offs and Rovers were the league leaders.

I personally don't think the trophy/award in itself makes any difference at all except for the money and theoretically better fixtures which have far more intrinsic value and meaning with regards the end goal. You could say that being at the top instills more confidence but then as seen, any team at any time can lose, top of the league/long winning streak or not.
IF we do finish top, I just hope we don't do a Huddersfield!

League leaders shield should go to whoever is top after everyone as played each other twice. But like many have said, doesn't really mean a great deal anyway

finishing top proves you are the best team,winning the grand final does not.leeds won grand final finishing 5th,what did that prove.nothing apart from you can win a few games at end of season.its obviously makes money and sky like it,but to me its a micky mouse end of season non event.
