Who knows if Leeds were complacent they were never really allowed to play.
Also what step up from the Leeds game exactly. We'd have beaten just about anyone that night and would do so again if we could repeat it - there is imho no step up needed that was a cup winning standard performance by any teams standards!
We hate it when opposition fans rubbish us so why do it to ourselves.
I don't think you end up fourth by accident. I'm not pretending we are the best but we can win pressure games now. Whether we can win enough that's a different matter
I didn't mean to come across as pessimistic about our chances, and you're right, if we perform like we did against Leeds we should win. Low errors, high completion, excellent defence and taking opportunities in attack. We have played some excellent RL based on superb team play.
I was just trying to say that, should we win against Saints, it will be a step up, in that we will have produced the performance we are capable of in a game where both sides are desperate to win.
