Nothing changes in professional sport, the most important game is your next one ..... always.

Hull KR with a big win. We now have the worst attack in the competition. And they are above us, meaning that within the next fortnight there is a real chance that we will be bottom of the league and out of the Cup.

Or we could be 4 points ahead of bottom club Huddersfield & in the next round of the cup.

I hope you are proved correct.

Salford could be deducted points tomorrow that would help are push abit try to get into the top. I suspect they will probably get at least 6 points deducted, but we shouldn't have to rely on things like that to climb the table

In our present state, I'll take any advantage given.

I doubt leeds will beat huddersfield away from home back to back. 1 win at best. If that is the case i'd take the league win. Leeds aren't good enough to get anywhere near silverware this season, a reality check is needed in that regard for those that would take a win in the cup. 2 points in the league is more important, leeds primary goal now should be avoiding the middle 8's. The middle 8's would not be easy, one bit. We'd have all the SL teams we've already lost to, plus championship teams playing their biggest game. Imagine how fired up they'd be playing against last seasons treble winners. Then imagine how non plussed some of our players would be, playing games that they believe are far beneath them. Not to mention the loss in revenue and damage to the teams psyche.

I want us to win every game failing that then at least show some positive signs of improvement.
The CC is still a very good trophy to win imo & winning that making it a 3peat would be special given the tough year we've had & imo the inevitable failure not only to reach the top 4 but top 6.
Im still not convinced we'll make the 8 the way we are defending & continually picking up injuries.

Would rather win the league game but their is some positives of trying to go for the cup. IF (and I accept its a big if) we were able to win the cup again it would be a good boost for the team going into next year. Trophy less this season and if next year too then people start to ask if they can win anything without Sinfield and Peacock. Get a piece of silverware as quickly as possible post-Sinfield then it helps moving forward into 2017.

But...going by the last 2 years, if we were to win the cup again that could/would have a massive negative impact on our middle 8 campaign (if the latter were to happen of course. If we did sneak into 8th then it wouldn't matter if we lost a few pre/post Wembley, given we'd likely have no or little chance of making the top 4)
