To be fair we started showing a bit of spirit at Wakey and Watkins, Lolohea and Parcell was still Leeds players.

In fact I think one of these "bad eggs" scored a 70m try and another "bad egg" made 50 tackles in the win.

Catalans winning puts us 6 points from the playoffs now.

Wouldn't it be fun though if we did do the unthinkable? Remember 2011 and 2012 winning from 5th and they all had the cheek to call us whinos

Re: Top 5 : Sat Jul 06, 2019 6:08 pm  

Catalans, Wigan or Hull is a bit of a stretch for but we only need 1 of the 3 to go on a bad losing run to catch them. Salford, Wakey and Cas are now looking very close, we just need to get ahead of those and 1 other.

Salford 2 points ahead
Wakey 2 points ahead
Cas 4 points ahead
Catalans 6 points ahead
Wigan 6 points ahead
Hull 8 points ahead

It would be - I'd never turn down number nine in the trophy room, and particularly if it was us and the pies in the final .

I was thinking more of 2017 though - we had some new bodies in after losing Sinny, JP and Kylie in 2015 but didn't really follow it through. We got to 2017 and possibly as we picked up (very) well mid-season we didn't recruit further even though we knew we were losing Mags and Robbie Burrow, and as a consequence we are where we are. It would be boring if we won every year though...

Lolohia was a bad egg, and without thenskills or quality to back it up. No idea on parcel. One of the bad eggs is now captain but had the quality and maybe the responsibility has changed them

Would love to know what evidence you have that Merrin was a bad egg. The guy I've seen on and off the field is anything but that

Re: Top 5 : Sun Jul 07, 2019 6:07 am  

Merrin isnt a bad egg imo i know he's told a few home truths that some didnt like but never being diva like or given it big licks.
Of course i dont doubt some will have had their noses pushed out of joint due to him & Konny coming in on big money but thats by the by.
His performances & watching those around him is saying otherwise as well.

It would be great to make the top 5 as we are building a group that can give anyone a game if we are on ours.

We need results to go for us though so more important for me is we keep this mentum we are building, keep the team spirit we are building and finish in a consistent way to set up a more positive pre season and kick on from there.

Re: Top 5 : Sun Jul 07, 2019 2:36 pm  

Think uf we can get up to 7th or even 6th i would be happy felt that's where we would be at start of season so to get to that level after the abysmal start to the season would put us in good shape for next year. 7th should be in our grasp 6th kind if depends in others losing more.
