What benefit would we get out of starting Sinfield at 9?

Applying a similar degree of tossing-it-off during the regular season to St Helens would seem inappropriate as it is definitely Leeds who are SL market leaders in that particular department.


On the subject of low standards, I believe you're probably the market leader in that particular department.

A very salient point which seems lost on those desperate to argue that the current play-off system rewards teams in a manner befitting their final finishing positions on the SL ladder. This current format does not do that. What it does do is reward mediocrity instead.


Quite, and embarrassingly so.

Just over 20 mins to go, 32-4 to Hudds. Hudds down to 12 for most of the game. Shambolic performance so far from Leeds.

With the quality of the league at the moment, we are not at a sufficient level to support a Top Eight Play Off system.

Consider how inconsistent Leeds have been for most of the season and yet, up until the last couple of weeks (had they strung a few wins together) they could have been as high as THIRD !



We need to take a step back and look at something like the Macintyre Final Five system as something for the way forward.

Only then will the regular round games take on more meaning.
