BBC pits us between 5th and 8th.

The pundits always underestimate our finishing position in the league- but it matters little anyway!

Chris Irvine (Times) has you down as finishing 6th. Says you'll miss Ferres.

Well theres a surprise...

Re: What the pundits say : Thu Feb 04, 2016 2:01 pm  

We've been tipped 6,7,8 for the last few years

Yet somehow managed to "scrape" the top 4 or even 3

Pundits literally just make up their stuff, knowing no one cares come mid season even

And they all keep forgetting we didn't miss him in all but the 8? Games he played last season - in fact he cost the Giants the win in at least one of those games he played!

Indeed. It's amazing how they've the nerve to expect payment for repeating the same guff ad nauseum. Mind you, it's not something we at Leeds have experienced; the retirement of Peacock and Sinfield has barely been mentioned
