Mate, you've no chance of making the top 4. If you base your optimism on the fact that you beat a completely unmotivated Leeds team last night, then good luck you dreamer.

Leeds's four most recent defensive efforts have conceded 34, 43, 16 and now 38.

The only acceptable defensive effort in the sequence (and it's no coincidence) coming in an all too rare good overall performance.

We've signed a running HB.

indeed. but we needed a controlling half back

Oh I agree. But I think we need half a new team!

SOH - the contrast between how Cas play and us is telling. I know they're better than everyone else this year, but even last year when they weren't, they were able to set up their left wing for 40 tries. We've got a really good winger on one side and a class centre on the other. Quick, early ball is what they need, and if you actually plan for it its not that hard to do, especially with the supposed quality of players we have inside them.
