So is the LLS awarded after this weekend?

You're a very naughty boy!!!

Your opinion is irrelevant

for me if you have played everyone twice and are top you should win the league

Thats a little like saying

"If it was up to me, Hull would be automatically handed the trophy irrespective of results and all of the opposition teams should be forced to walk around the pitch with their laces tied together and to suck their thumbs as the trophy is presented",

That's not how it happens. Its only the anomaly seasons of between 1974-1997 that your suggested took place in RL.

i mean that should be the end of the regular season so the winners should get a trophy as they have got the most points ie football

Be a crap season with just 22 games though wouldn't it.

Ah, you see the quickness of mind of a bean counter can't quite grasp the reality that there will only be 8 teams challenging for the LLS, of which we will be one. By the end of this round of games each will have played 14 games against the other 7, with 7 left and I'm pretty sure when I went to school that 7 was 1/3 of 21 but maybe you can enlighten me otherwise. Please don't come back with bleats about the also rans like leeds and rovers as, quite frankly, they don;t count

Clearly you're just stupid, but then we all knew that. D minus - must try harder

Absolute cack and well you know it.

At not point does the final league table only take into account 21 games.

You got rumbled for poor maths,

End of chat

Knew you'd have no answer. Go make yourself useful and count some beans

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

You accountants do love to flog a dead horse, don't you

Goodness Gracious Me!! Give it up Jake

even you can't keep this up. Leeds were the first team to win the League Leaders Shield under this new and stupid system. They won it at Huddersfield with a last minute try, in there 30th game

or was it there 7th game in a seperate league system after the Super League season

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
