Quote="Sal Paradise"You can't but congratulate the team, the coach and the management on a tremendous achievement.
Very few on here believed this would happen and I include you - Leeds completely controlled the game and forced Cas to under perform.'"
Quite a few on here believed. You and your anti Leeds cronies didn't. Belief and trust are the key words after this saga. Unfortunately for you, negativity is your only contribution. Shame.
Quote="PrinterThe"There's a big big difference between constructive criticism and the full out full on slagging off of the club at every opportunity. This club isn't perfect by any stretch but some go on like it's the worst run club in the league.'"
I think you need to put things into context - this is the biggest club in SL with the biggest revenue streams and as such expectations of what the club delivers should be based on that position not what they do compared to Wakefield/Salford/Cas etc.
The fact it has won so many trophies shouldn't come as any shock it is in position to deliver that only 3/4 other clubs have an equal opportunity to do so. It is no shock that only 4 teams have won the GF in the SL era - as one is no more - Bradford - it would suggest Leeds have a 33% chance of winning it every year. Whilst the salary cap may restrict spending on players it does stop spending of training/medical/conditioning, coaching, analytics, youth development etc. Leeds should be there or there abouts every single year.

And yet you tipped Leeds to finish 7th this year. Go figure.
Quote="loiner81"And yet you tipped Leeds to finish 7th this year. Go figure.
'"
Last year they finished 12th - go figure
So I predicted an improvement on 2016.
You predicted 4th? - who did you suggest would win the GF - was it Leeds
There is difference between what should happen and what actually does - where did you predict Leeds to finish in 2016? IIRC I suggested they would finish 2nd - how wrong you can be
That is why unlike you I don't take all the outpourings from the club as the gospel according to Saint Gary
Like every other sport the richest clubs have an unfair advantage that a salary cap cannot correct.

And Leeds have been there or there abouts every year barring one for god knows how long now, but yet again you'd think they weren't the way some carry on.
Oh and that one year we weren't in the mix in 2016 it was because we lost our training facilities, one of the things you just mentioned above as giving us an advantage but yet at the time you continually dismissed the importance of it.

Re the GF, like many I predicted Wire but what a joke they were so the less said the better. Last night surpassed even my own expectations although I did predict a top 4 finish for Leeds after the 8s meaning at the very least a semi-final place. What I didn't do was totally write them off and then completely contradict myself with a dumb a$$ statement like "Leeds should be there or there abouts every year". I didn't do that because that would be embarrassing and no one would fall for it.
Re 2016. Sad to see you reverting to type and making stuff up once again Sal. I said we'd be lucky to finish in the top 4 in 2016, whilst you predicted they'd win the GF..... Never ceases to amaze me just how wrong you and your mates get it every single year on here, whilst preaching to the rest of us about how wrong we are.
No idea what the rest of your post is about though, just a load of contradictory twaddle, the type you always post when rattled and trying to dig yourself out of a massive hole.
Anyway I'm off to the pub, have a wonderful day Sal.
