I can see how it's possible, but it will need significantly improved performances from the ones delivered at home to Warrington, in the second half at Huddersfield and away at Widnes. Keep up that level of performance and Wakefield apart there aren't many teams in the competition who won't fancy playing Leeds - whether that's at home or away.

Leeds still have Wigan to play three times. On current form, would you back them to win any of those?

On current form I would, wouldn't you?

Some on here simply have a blank where Sinfield is concerned.

They certainly do.

Good thread this by the way. Look forward to the usual pessimists & knee jerkers resurrecting it a week before the next round of the cup, when we inevitably lose again.

I'm looking forward to it too. Tried telling people that the focus (just like last year) and Sinfield went as soon as the cup draw was made but some just wouldn't have it. Just like last year when the cup game came we transformed for those wins. Apparently tiredness and players playing too many games was a key reason why we started to hit some poor performances.......they didn't look too tired today did they those same players who had 2 days less than the Hudds players. As well as us having a soft belly and teams figuring it out and Hudds were going to learn that and start better than the two previous meetings.

Good to see Sinfield and McDermott have settled their differences that led to them falling out and him not getting picked

They never do. We lose a game or two and suddenly it's the end of the world, season over, players too tired, too old, poor recruitment, poor planning, poor coaching..........

I've been a big macdermott critic but, a couple of games apart, he's impressed me this year. It's the most structured we've been since possibly murrays side. We have real shape to our play. Big decisions have had to be made and he's had the balls to make them

mac must be doing something right if you're giving him praise tad rhino,but it's good that you're not too shy in giving due praise

do you think that mac could be the man to take the club forward to start the clubs next generation?
i think that mac is definitely strong enough to keep evolving our side and make the tough calls that are required to keep us successful,i think that he is also growing into this coaching role and is getting the best from his squad after most coaches have passed there sell by date of 4 years at the helm

Still need at least 1 FT Ass imo plus who we sign and how he handles the next transition will determine how much longer he stays imo A Coach can only go so far and so long at 1 Club imo even Wayne Bennett went stale at Brisbane for e.g.
I also don't like the token 5 minute sub stints or playing with 16 men be interesting to see how we go now with the Cup on the back-burner till the end of june.
