Hulls scrum half is playing well but he is not in the same league has the slim line Bent Shewin.

Does it? Whilst your post is fascinating I want to know what "will no doubt bottle it half way through the season" means. And if so which recent season has this been a hindrance?

I did say you finished strongly. Just can't maintain it throughout the season and have to go the harder route in the play-offs.
Didn't help you in 2006 when you slipped to 3rd and (as usual) lost the first game of the play-offs.

Perhaps Leeds should blame injuries.

I actually relish this bitterness from small clubs like Cas and FC. Proves Leeds are doing something right.

Your ability to change the point to make it suit yourself is duly noted to, you asked how leeds lacking the consistancy over a season may hinder you, i answered.

Bitterness? for trying to answer your question with facts? deary me someone is touchy

Did you win the league in all 4 seasons he mentioned?

And did it cost you another piece of silverware in the any of these seasons?

You original post said hinderance to the season. If it cost you a piece of silverware, then yes. 2005 and 2008 saw you drop from top spot after holding it for more than half the season. The 2005 slump also included losing in the CCF, so you lost 2 bits of silverware in that slump.

So yes, I'd say it was a hinderance!

Did you have a significant number of injuries in your squad to key players during these slumps?

If the answer is no, then you just sound stupid.

And if you are trying to argue that having a significant number of injuries in your squad to key players doesn't hinder results, you just sound more stupid.
