You really are a miserable ar$€hole.

Which part of [i"Rhinos half-d mediocrity throughout the regular season resulting in a 5th placed finish on the SL ladder"[/i is incorrect and an unreasonable interpretation of the rhinos season in your opinion?

Which part of [i"Benefiting from a 5th placed finish by being rewarded with a home fixture against whipping boy SL rabble/two successive fixtures against whipping boy SL rabble"[/i is incorrect and an unreasonable interpretation of the rhinos season in your opinion?

What? So you think playing Catalans away in the 2nd week is easier than at HQ?

As i said further up the page,finishing 4th is a clear benefit this season over last due to Huddersfields shocking form last year.

FWIW i expect us to come through a tough clash with Wakey and go down in a close game in France.

Yes, I do believe Wakey at home followed by Catalan away is a more comfortable ride than Wigan away followed by Catalan at home. Facing whipping boy SL rabble twice instead of just once in consecutive games is definitely the easier ride before the really important Semi Finals take place. IMHO of course.


Catalan are whipping boy SL rabble just like Huddersfield are. Any distinctions being made between the two are shallow at best.


A lot on this forum reckoned it would be a tough clash last season at home to the whipping boy Hull FC rabble. It wasn't then and it won't be next week either. Leeds to win comfortably... again.


Might be close but Leeds will win.

Wake me up when it's proper Semi Final time involving only the genuine contenders and all the whipping boy SL rabble have been eliminated during the next two tedious weeks of unnecessary play-off fixtures.

Thanks in anticipation.

Biff - just put him on your ignore list and as long as people don't quote him then you don't see his pathetic posts. He's a sort of crap Lord Haw-Haw character with nothing to say of any value. People used to engage him but most CBA these days.

I would disagree with Herr Eve - if you are going to have one home fixture you need to make the most of the advantage - in a tight game it can make the difference. Leeds "should" be able to beat Wakey even at BV, beating the Catalans will be a different proposition and home advantage could have been crucial. I would much rather play Wigan away and Catalans at home than Wakey at home and Catalans away. Of course Catalans could beat Wigan?

There will be nothing better than to make you eat your words next week when the 'whipping boys' come to town

Even the Bookies agree with William Eve

Best odds available

Weeeegan 5/4
Warrington 11/8
St Helens 9/1
Leeds 12/1
Catalans 20/1
Hull 60/1
Hudds 150/1
Wakey 175/1

Don't even consider wasting money on Hudds & Wakey.....it's those big odds that pay for the bookies Porsche each year.
For Hull fans, if you're not sure how big a number 60 is...then count all your fingers and thumbs and multiply by 5

Very rude and disrespectful of you!









#1. Who put 40 points past you at Headingley (even though that team lost)?
#2. Who anihilated you at Belle Vue in July?
#3. Who have won the last seven matches on the bounce?
#4. Catalans (should you get there) whipping boys? Oh puh-leaze.

Take one match at a time or else you'll get nowhere near Old Trafford, never mind Wigan or Catalans.

You shouldn't even be in the playoffs


HTH

For effort alone we deserve to be there.

And why's that?

He is obviously a bulls sympathiser!

^ Sounds like Lawrie L and William Eve are two very scared whino fans

You carry on supporting a bent game hope we destroy you next week on our much lower wage structure than the holier than you mighty whino's. Youre just lucky to be in the play offs

You whinos are heading for a mighty fall.

I would love it................................

Those 4 being the genuine contenders who shall be lining up as Semi Finalists in 3 weeks time.


Those 4 above being the whipping boy SL rabble as this ridiculously long-drawn out Top 8 play-off system spends 2 tedious weeks clearing out the garbage that shouldn't be littering the play-offs in the first place.

I guess that's because it's supposed to be a play-off between the eight best teams as determined by points accrued over a twenty-seven round qualifying competition and on the pitch Wakefield have come ninth on that basis.

or go back a week to the bradford game!




very generous odds on fc, if i was a betting man i would put a fiver on us, but im not so a win against shudds and anything else is a bonus for us this season

Worth a cheeky fiver if you don't mind contributing to the bookies retirement pot.

The odds look reasonable except for Leeds who are priced a little short, I expect Warrington will become the favourites if they can get by St Helens in week one.

When did this scrape happen, more a thumping really - but yep it's a different ball game now - you should be mighty disappointed if you lose this one - it's a game we have no right to win

.

I think if you look at the final league table you will see we finished 8th, thus making the play-offs.



We did everything within the rules and laws of the game.....we played and were beaten by Bradford twice with our squad that we could afford against their squad that they couldn't. Had they have been playing with a squad they could afford then we would probably have beaten them twice......they broke the rules and paid the penalty....we stuck to them and deservedly finished 8th.....

Really looking forward to the game on Saturday.....the arrogance of some Leeds fans is great.....to be fair though you've earned that with your record over the years in big games.....



I just feel some are getting a little carried away here though and thinking it will be easier than it actually will......in our 2 league games this year we've scored 78 points against you....winning one convincingly and getting beat in the other......one crucial thing you could point to is the Challenge Cup game (a game that did really matter) in that you beat us in the end by a comfortable margin but the game was a lot closer for long periods than that final scoreline suggested......you can add on to that we're a far, far better team playing with much more confidence now (on the back of 7 straight wins) than when we were back then and I'm not sure you could say the same about Leeds.....

Through the years of Leeds dominance (in winning GF's) nobody can knock those efforts, they've been a top quality side......I genuinely think though this is the weakest Leeds team for quite a while, one in kind of like a transitional period with a lot of the older experienced players coming to the end while a lot of the younger future star players not quite with the experience of the big games yet....

Leeds are obviously worthy favourites....but I wouldn't rule out a shock at all....beware a team full of confidence with no pressure on them!

It's a shame it doesn't always work that way or leeds would be champions in 2005

22 - 4 to "whipping boys" Huddersfield rabble at half time. Poetic justice for William "Digger" Eve. Thete's more of that coming from Wakey at Headingley.

Whipping boy SL rabble tearing you apart...
