Why? It's basically the same side give or take.

No it's not. It's nothing like. It might have same names on paper, but that is different.

Yeah, they went into the playoffs without any major trophies.

Despite our flaws (and I admit we have our flaws) we've just finished our season as the team who was conceded the fewest points, so hardly the shambles some will make out over the next 48 hours I'm sure.

Look back at 2012

Was it losing at Bradford 12-4? Losing at home to Wigan 50-8? Being 30 points down to Warrington after as many minutes? Losing 46-6 to Saints away? Shipping 38 points in defeat to Wakey away? Almost getting 50 past us at Hudds compared to just the 12 this year? That made the side much better? Was it that our sub prop options were so much better with Griffin and Moore to pick from?

If your point is that we've been awful in the regular season for the past four years then you made it very well

No we haven't been awful this year on the whole, maybe the last 5 rounds (actually we did damn well against Saints in the circumstances, so 4).

For a team to concede just over 400 points in a season and be considered "awful" says more about the posters RL knowledge than the team.

P.S. That's not me saying the team is great, as it clearly needs to improve in areas.....but let's not drop to the OTT reactions of 2011/12......do you forget how that ended for you? "Tonight's for you" ring a bell?

Sixth in a table of fourteen is awful for Leeds, whatever the For and Against. This can be washed away by the post-season, but that wasn't what we were talking about.

Are we talking about the team that comfortably beat Warrington in the semi final of the CC and then the likely winners of the LL shield two weeks later? Or the side that lost to the Bulls and Hull? They have largely the same names on paper but clearly aren't the same side.

I'm not sure the side that beat Warrington in the Cup looked any worse than the one that won the GF against them two years ago. Props two years older - check. Better 1-5 than 2 years ago - check. The rest probably not a whole lot different.
