Leeds go Top after a Third of the Season : Mon Apr 21, 2014 4:16 pm  

Well done to the Leeds Players and coach. Top of the league after a third of the season is a good effort on the back of some great defensive stats

And we have only conceded 82 points in those 10 games. 2 less points than Bradford today!

Made life hard today for ourselves but came out better in the 2nd. Suppose 2nd Easter games aren't always the best performances. Scored some good tries and also the defence again. I know some will harp on about the level of opposition but when you're keeping teams to 4 and holding them up over and just short of the line several times then it is very good.

As for being top, always good but need to cement it by beating Wigan at Headingley in our next league game otherwise they could leapfrog us with their game in hand. Saints have had a tricky run but now face a decent run in league whereas our May is very tough.

The next period of games will shape how our season pans out.....

Saints - H (Cup)
Wigan - H
Cas - A
Wigan - MW
Hull - H
Wire - A
Quarter Finals of CC IF still in it
Hudds - H

It's because all the other sides are rubbish, the standard of SL is at an all time low and we'd be bottom of the NRL.

Oh of course that goes without saying. That's why those who'll tell us the opposition is so poor had Leeds listed around 5th/6th in their prediction tables even though they knew the squad lists of other teams at the start of the year.

Well done for being top, but at present the quality of Super League is very poor. Leeds have defended well all year, think we will finish in the top three now, felt at the start of the season top five. The Wigan game is the yard stick for Super League season. But as others have said the quality is very poor this year.

I predicted Leeds to finish in 2nd spot with London 13th and Bradford 14th. Totally missed the rise of Cas despite admiration for coach Powell.

Irrespective of the opposition we are top on merit but as has been pointed out much tougher tests are on the horizon.
I thought we got busted defensively too easy at times yesterday far too many "Andy Hay" attempts at tackling but the desperation to scramble & lack of Salford taking their chances kept it at 6 against.
Far more positives than negatives and the Coach deserves plenty of credit for his rotation and squad management thus far.
