Surely then if its 'current form' it goes off the last game that a team played. So by reckoning they're only the 3rd best team not the 2nd as Cats had a 38 point win last time out, Saints had an 18 point win and Leeds had a 6 point win. Or do we just keep counting games backwards until we reach a point that puts Leeds as high up on the list as possible so SKS can keep pretending Leeds are still in their glory days 

All those GF losses have really got to you haven't they

When you had a good quality team capable of winning titles other clubs were naturally wary of Leeds come the end of season play-off's. Now I don't think any of the other top clubs really see Leeds as a threat in the play-off's, thats assuming you even make it into the top 6 to start with and qualify.

Ok if you say so. I mean if they are living off past glories its so long ago (less than 1 year ago) that they won a Trophy. Unless you win a Trophy every month whats the point.

So if you don’t see Leeds as a threat and aren’t bothered about all those GF losses why are you constantly going on about Leeds?

Merely correcting SKS with his misguided belief that Leeds are the 2nd best Team in SL, when in reality the league table shows they're just the 7th best team currently.

Are they?, if were using current standings in the SL table then all teams need to have played the same amount of games don’t they ;-)

I believe SKS was talking about current form, but anyway.

If it makes you feel any better, you can sleep well in the knowledge that Leeds are at least the 2nd best team over the course of the whole SL era

It's gone slightly grey over normally sunny north Leeds. If this is in advance of some rain it could level things up a bit.

Were you one of those sad faces in your soaking wet through granny knitted scarves ? I bet it's you. I almost felt sorry for them

Small town mentality in granny knitted wooly scarves . 5 in a row sad record too

Sir Kev may have got a little too giddy about beating Leigh and Salford but if his team can follow up their Warrington win with another against Catalans we will have to start listening.

However I see he has got his excuses in early so he doesn't seem too convinced himself.

I don’t think we’ve got a chance tonight, 2nd best team in the comp or not , 1 game too far IMO

 

Catalan by at least 2 scores

[fieldofclothofgold]

I think cats will win and run away with it in the 4th quarter 

[Live after death]

Leeds win 

[Man of Kent]

A win for Cat-a-lan-a ole, ole, ole

[GeordieSaint]

Morgue starting…

… Joel Tomkins prop…

[GeordieSaint]

How has the ref just missed that tackle?

[DavidM]

Childs says to Tomkins ‘ have some of that ‘ !

Unbelievable as that was ignored.

[Padge]

Great tackle by Tomkins.

[Old Frightful]

WTF? 

I'm no fan of Joel Tomkins but that should have been a sin bin upending tackle.

[DavidM]

But that is a penalty …. Strange
