Thing is, if you look at the teams we might have to play - its really hard not to get carried away with or expectations. Nobody in particularly devastating form at the moment, even Saints looking more than a bit shakey....

We were fairly average, but I'd take beating the third placed team whilst playing average as a sign of a more experienced team able to approach the play offs with some maturity. Some of the commentary was critical, both in terms of within the game and how it compared Wakey/KR to others in the top 8, although at least Stevo had the sense to see kicking dead for territory was controlling the game. What I think some on Sky seemed to forget was how bad other teams have been playing. Saints look well out of touch, Hudds looked good for a long while but have shown they can be beaten and Leeds had a poor patch a month or so ago.

To all the people who said that we were gonna finish bottom and struggle to get to twenty points at the start of this season, how's the humble pie?!?!?!?! icon_biggrin.gif" alt="icon_biggrin.gif" title="Very Happy" /> icon_lol.gif" alt="icon_lol.gif" title="Laughing" /> icon_lol.gif" alt="icon_lol.gif" title="Laughing" /> icon_biggrin.gif" alt="icon_biggrin.gif" title="Very Happy" /> 32 points, absolutely amazing achievement.

Very true and with us carrying a good bit of form into the play offs we should have a really good crack at it.

Quote ="jonh"But yet Leeds or Saints will still win it. I am all for the cap, but in its current form it does little for the game, and it could easily be altered to enhance all the pro's you state above. We do need a cap, just the current form is in my opinion not the best way to go about ">it.'" Explain a fairer way then. I think there could be some encouragement of player development. For example, maybe 2 players who have come through your own system not be included until they reach a certain age, or played so many games. But other than something like that, it seems to have done a pretty good job. There is no cap in girlie-ball, but you can pick the champions from only 20% of the league. And will only change with wads of dosh, and take a while. And who would have said at the start of the season that neither Leeds or Saints would reach Wembley.
