Maybe I’m oversimplifying, but in a 12 team league surely that is true of basically every team?

Leeds fans were all over the SL page on Facebook giving it the big 'un in pre-season about what they expected their side to achieve this season and being 'mid-table' certainly wasn't one of them.

I think it says more about you that you’re getting your source material from a Facebook page.

Pretty much, from a Leeds view I think it’s only Wakefield and Wigan (who we’ve faced the last 2 weeks) that we don’t play again now. I would imagine it the pretty similar for every other team.

So all these Leeds fans giving it large in the build up to this season were all pretend Leeds fans trying to make you look bad?

To hell with that. It would be a hoot. Just like in football I'd love nothing more than to see Liverpool FC get relegated.

In RL it's Saints I care about first and foremost everything else is a secondary by a distance.

Plus in any case Leeds would be back quickly or else rules would be changed at the 11th hour to stop them taking the drop if they do finish bottom.

Yep whilst the game is on its arris let's get rid of our best supported team playing out of the best stadium in a big vibrant city who are able to attract blue chip companies constantly. Meanwhile our champions elect can dispel the myth that our game is cheap and struggling financially by playing out of the Totally Wicked Stadium sponsored by Cash Converters. Funny as it may be SL needs Leeds.

so what your saying its ok to say Wakey, London or KR to go down but not Leeds

I can understand the reasons for needing Leeds in the league but for me rules and rules. If they finish bottom they deserve to get relegated and it's completely undermining the whole sport if they finish bottom and rules are changed to keep them up. The same wouldn't be done if Salford finished bottom.
If the RFL are worried about Leeds been relegated then they need to come out with a statement now that the league will be expanded to 14 teams, while bottom place is still up for grabs between a number of teams.
I personally want to see the league expanded to 14 teams anyway (and loop fixtures binned off) but not in such a controversial way.

Yeah but you’ve got to remember that Saints fans have plenty of scars left by Leeds in the last 10 years dumping them out of competitions on numerous occasions that some bitterness remains especially from the constant Old Trafford beatings

2007 GF - 2008 GF - 2009 GF - 2010 CCSF - 2011 GF - 2013 Playoffs - 2015 CCSF - 2015 Playoff Semi

Not sure why anybody finds any team going down funny, I’ve never looked at any relegation battle in the past and been desperate to see one particular team go down.
