There is nothing arrogant in saying that right now Saints are looking better than the rest, its a simple assessment. The fact that every Rhinos supporter on here seems to conveniently ignore the part of a post which states that time will tell who wins the GF is indicative as to just how defensive they all are. All you read of any post is the part complementing Saints and the part suggesting Leeds have gone backwards.

For heavens sake you have won the last 2 GF's against us so nobody is going to dismiss any chances of that happening again. It seems unlikely right now unless there is a huge improvement. However, in both previous seasons, you have looked inferior to us all season and snatched the championship so nobody in their right mind would rule it out again.

Whisper it quietly, most Leeds fans like the style of Rugby League that Saints frequently play....... just not against us though!

for most of 2007 we were average at best.
apart from the first ten games of so last year we were average.

you get nothing for being great at this time of year.

How can you say that when this time last year you'd lost 5 out of 10 games I think it was, and people were stupidly saying Leeds could go unbeaten. ATM you look a long way ahead of Leeds but who's to say it will stay that way. Don't underestimate the impact having a new coach has had on how you've started the season, compared to the fact that Leeds have publicly stated that they were aiming to start slower than last year and build throughout the season.

Whoever was saying that must have been exceedingly stupid as Leeds had already lost their round 5 fixture away at Castleford.

There again it might just be your memory that is exceedingly useless?.
