Try having your main players out all season as we have with Quinlan and Lunt.

Can`t see Leeds being relegated myself, having said that, Broncos play as a team who put in a fight, Rovers now have Smith at the helm, will be interesting as a Hull fan to see how that develops Can`t see Hull making the G.F. its like a roller coaster ride watching them. On a good day I reckon they can beat anyone, on a bad one, total blow up.

Not too fussed about being at the bottom as you hope I was. I’m a Leeds fan who actually realised it couldn’t and wouldn’t always be good times and hence why I was much more appreciate of McDermott’s time at the club and getting an extra few trophies out of the old guard that others possibly wouldn’t have done. Criticise Leeds fans as ones who won’t stick with the club through tough times like fans of other clubs will yet I’m here now during rubbish times backing them to come good in time. Nothing new I took a ton of grief and insults and mocking on the Leeds board in 2016 when we struggled post floods and I said we’d come good in 2017 with a full preseason, even during 2017 I got it when we took some beatings from Cas.....but who was right in the end

Did the floods return pre-2018?

Salford seem to have hit a bit if form.... Huddersfield are right back In the mix and leeds will be in dire trouble if they cant do the french next weekend..... It is a genuinely exciting season......

If Leeds can carry on that defense they showed against us they wil be fine and the rabble such as Wakefield or London will go down

Exciting for the wrong reasons IMO, if all the excitement and focus is on the bottom of the table we’ve got it booty about face.

I disagree.
Whilst we had the now discarded 3 x 8 system, there was much more interest in who would end up in the "relegation" league and then who would play in and win the MPG.
This season, even though there are now around 8 sides that could take the wooden spoon, just about every side in SL could also make the play offs.
Also, with the relegation issue being settled before the play offs begin, focus will definitely turn to the "road to Old Trafford".

What has really made things interesting is the challenge posed by London.
Many assumed that they were certainties for a swift return to The Championship and they have massively proved everyone wrong.
This, coupled with the early dominance of Saints and Wire, has compressed the rest of the league and I still feel that only one of those sides will make the final and that the other will miss out.
With the spectre of relegation still looming, there is plenty of rugby to be played and it looks as though we will be going to the last couple of weeks of the regular season before we know who will fall through the trap door.
For me, I still think that Hull FC or Catalan will make the final and they will play either Wire or Saints.

Haven't got a clue who will finish in 5th spot, it really could be any one of the other 8 sides, even London.

I do hope that The RFL have a contingency plan for Catalan making the final and that they learned some lessons from the Challenge Cup last season.
McNamara has proved to be a shrewd coach at Catalan and they might just shake things up.
