Amazing if leeds won the title sandwiched between 2 middle 8's seasons

cant see either widnes or kr escaping bottom 4 now after that result

Doesn't make our away games against Wakefield and Huddersfield any easier either!

Its been a strange season, at the KCOM earlier in the year they couldn't have looked more disinterested. But I suppose it again shows the need for a good half back in SL, since Drinkwater came in they have been transformed.

With the squad they have available they where bound to come good at some point Leeds look vulnerable now even though there six defeats on the bounce have been very close games

Drinkwater's pretty average but has at least added a bit of organisation to the french but they have massively underperformed this year with the players they have. Should be comfortably top 8. Interesting that the rovers fans didn't want macbanana but his side sit above rovers as do former coach chris chester's wakefield

They have better squads Jake simple really and I wouldn’t want Chester back or Macnamara fans of Leeds have moaned about macdermot for years despite him winning 6 grand finals

They have better squads and macbanana inherited most of it but chester has built much of that wakey squad. His recruitment seems to have been much better than peacock's over the last couple of years

Chester has done well at Wakefield - he seems a decent bloke, so i’m pleased for him.



Our hope has to be that Sheens offers a counter balance to some of Peacock’s more unworldly ideas. Or maybe Peacock has learned from experience, and come back with some better plans - just as Chester seems to have at Wakefield. It’s possible!



Tbf, it’s narrow margins. Maybe if we’d scraped through 2016, we’d have started to see the first fruits of the infamous 5 year plan by now. My gut feeling is that it was misconceived anyway, but perhaps my judgement is clouded by what happened.



Radford looked to be on shaky ground for a bit, and I think he did make a little bit of a mess of his first season in charge. He survived and has done brilliantly since - but if Pearson had been a little less patient, Radford could have been remembered very differently.

very fair point - if man utd had lost that fa cup tie all those years ago, sir alex could have been fired

All ifs, buts and maybes. We're obviously very happy with the way things have turned out. (Well most of us are!!)

WHAAAAAT and no Challenge Cups OMG

Cas win sees us 4 points adrift of the 4. Not secure in the 8 yet, but having said that Gareth Westmorland has devoted a lot of column inches this week to Rovers making the 8 when they win all their remaining games so who knows?

Need to win all 4 games to be in the top 4 at the split, but as long as we are within 2/4 points of the top 4 at the split, we still have a chance, the extra away game won't help though

Cas have a comfortable run in to the Super 8s. We are four points behind Warrington with five to play



Hull

Widnes (H)

Huddersfield (A)

St Helens (H)

Wakefield (A)

Hull KR (H)



Warrington

Salford (H)

Wigan (A)

Catalans (H)

Hull KR (A)

St Helens (A)

Presumably Saints will rest players for Warrington's last game of the regular rounds as it's the cup semi final the next week.

We are going to have to settle for 5th and make sure we are only a couple of points behind 3 or 4th, can't see cas or wire losing 2 or 3 games before round 23



Silly losses, again, to Salford and catalan have come back to haunt us



Still confident we can finish top four for a semi final place providing we have no more slip ups or injuries

Will Warrington also? Seeing as they have the more difficult semi final

Poor result for us but Leeds right in the mix for bottom 4 now. Is it just one win in the last 10?

If Catalan and/or Giants can keep their runs going, Leeds are going to be in real trouble.

widnes confirmed in the bottom 4 if we beat them and catalan avoid defeat against cas

No wonder hall wants out of leeds. They are a shambles

definitely some issues there, and Wigan.

22 points. Hopefully that will be enough to secure Top 8.

Good win for Rovers, they need Cas to win on Saturday to keep them in the hunt for the top 8.



Interesting last 4 games
