Sorry I'm old school and dislike Leeds with a passion, from the water splash final to always taking our better players. If they win the toss I get annoyed. Set of patronising trophy hunting fans does my head in.

Leeds deserve their place.
I'd rather Salford get there and I'd support them but if Sts get there I'd simply enjoy the game.

Dislike with a passion is fine with me on a matchday scenario. However certainly since SL Leeds have been the least of our problems. On field we do ok against them and off field I’d almost call them a friend.

In the last 20 years two clubs have gone out of there way to use and abuse us, Cas and especially Hudds.

Cas in terms of pinching players but mainly in attempting to block us where ground development was concerned. Though in recent years thy have become less relevant.

Hudds have just been plain despicable, plundering our club with the blatant opportunism that would make Blackbeard wince. A truly awful club with a fair few awfull fans.

Stuff Leeds, we are not in their class as a club. But we can target both Cas and Hudds and I would love that as I dislike Cas and I despise the Huddersfield club of the current era.

Chose your enemies and battles wisely.

I just like to call them dirty leeds and enjoy the sweet moments when we beat them.

There is a difference between what we buy ,and the big clubs. Wigan spent 400,000 on a player to stop them going down ,when Cas played Wakefield in the first Million pound game .M L turned round and said you do not know how to bend the rules .as they had spent way over the cap .The next year S L clubs voted on a 12 point reduction to any team that broke the rules ,but Wigan got it down to 2 points be saying the rule does not apply till the year after

Fair play to Leeds, can't knock them this season with the form they were in to now find themselves in the Grand Final is some achievement.

Re: Leeds Rhinos : Sat Sep 17, 2022 1:12 pm  

Well, you have to say that their defence was superb last night and that their new coach has done a stunning job to turn them into a GF side.
However, it's Leeds that we are talking about here and I will be supporting their opponents

I’m interested as to why you admire Salford?

If you mean this years team then fair enough, but as a club Jesus wept.

They are an utter drag on the game.

No academy of any sort.

A ground they are only tenants and tenants who have not paid any rent in years. Should the landlord actually start demanding payment they will go pop in 24 hours.

Worst of all is that this years team has been assembled on the never never. There is no way they can afford that team let alone sustain it.

Now the bills need paying watch that team disperse with indecent haste.

It certainly not the way I want our club run, that’s how we got where we were under Glover.

FWIW, the only clubs I admire in how they are run are

Leeds
Saints
Warrington
Wigan to a lesser degree

and Trinity.

The rest are living off loans and hand outs.

Re: Leeds Rhinos : Sat Sep 17, 2022 5:17 pm  

That's for your advice but I will not be acting on it.
Salford have competed over the last 2 or 3 seasons and have introduced some exceptional players to SL picked out of thin air.
Personally I don't care about their finances but agree on the academy.
Your attempt as usual to turn things in to something more is baffling.
Ilet me add that I have quite often criticised the club for its total lack of ambition but have never like you bind managers players or other fans.
I have never threatened to stay away or off the board,
We will never agree with how the clubs run so just accept it, it's not a big thing.
