Also, they finished 4th last season, so got at least 1 home game.

At Widnes

How far did Cas get that year they beat us? Did they make it to being one game away?

Great game though. Probably (for excitement) the best game of the season.

Personally I think the only two teams that have the potential to in the grand final this year other than Leeds & Saints are Huddersfield and Hull.

If Hull can find that form that got them in their last Grand Final appearance then there a formidable team and a team I really like to watch. Injuries seem to curse that team though.

Huddersfield have just had a head coach that overstayed his stay. But Huddersfield in 07 at the start of the season where just losing games by little points and had one of the best point differences in the league despite been at the bottom of the table.

If both these step up to the plate then yes it will make an interesting top four. But the rest are out of it for me as well although it gives others a chance.

Warrington are going to be rubbish again. Wigan won’t come up with the good at the end of the season and Bradford are on a downward spiral who are dark horses in my mind to not get a SL liesence in 2012 if they keep going how their going.

How is the whip around for the new southstand going now Caddick cant bank role anymore?

We need to develop out facilities, but you have some huge funding issues too - and both issues will be to the detriment to superleague.

The days of either club being immune are over.

The ground development is doing just fine thank you, fortunately as a business we realised early the advantages that a year-round income from two related businesses could bring rather than ground-share with an unassociated club, such a shame that the Wakefield RU deal was a non-starter or we may have seen the new seated stand at Odsal - the one that is still sitting on my architect friends drawing board, a design that was drawn up at the same time as the "hospitality" stand - I'll let you ask my brother just how hospitable that hospitality stand is

Lost to Cas one year, to end Graham Murray's Leeds career the same way it began

Thats the only one I can remember unfortunately.

Despite the 3 Championships, Leeds' SL Play Off record is still pretty crapola and still in deficit:

Played 25, Won 11, Drawn 0, Lost 14.

Compare that to Wigan's:

Played 26, Won 16, Drawn 0, Lost 10 (but only 1 title.)

What a really interesting stat that one is. I guess that will be because we've been much more consistent in the weekly round and had plenty of 2nd bites at the cherry, unlike Wigan who constantly enter the playoff lower down the table?

Its interesting that we have played less than wigan too considering they didn't feature in 2006 & 2005 I think
