Now I know this is a massive IF, and is highly unlikely, but.... IF Leeds started to put together some form and won the Challenge Cup followed by a good play off campaign, it's conceivable that we could do the double (Not that I think for 1 minute we will win either) after what in reality has been a season of awful rugby. For me this would be a real embarrasment for Super League, and although all teams know the rules before the season starts, I have to say it would make a mockery of the season as a whole.



If this were to happen, what would peoples thoughts be on the season, and more importantly, what would peoples thoughts be towards Brian Mcdermott?



I know its all highly unlikely and hypothetical, just interested to see how people would view this.

Somebody please add this to the list of threads to get bumped every time we lose.



Ta.

not much chance of SL title ,but we can win the CC

Why?



I stated on more than 1 occasion that it's highly unlikely (infact, I don't think we will win either), but, having said that, we are 1 of only 2 clubs left with the possibility of doing this - regardless of how remote our chances are.



Simply interested in how people would look back on this season if it were to happen! Would people still want Mcdermott gone etc?

Yes I would, unless the performances improve i.e. we look like we know how to play the game.



Now can we please stop living in cloud cuckoo land cos the challenge cup is a big enough hurdle.

If Leeds do the double, I will walk up the steps of Old Trafford and personally hand Kevin Sinfield the SuperLeague trophy myself.

If this were to happen the season would be looked upon as a huge success and Brian Mac would have achieved something Murray, Lance, Powell, Smith and McLennan failed to do, with what I would consider, in some cases, a lesser squad.



He would have proved himself to be the greatest Leeds (Super League) coach of all time





Of course, it will never happen. Even winning the Challenge Cup would be a huge achievement in my opinion

Leeds are 60/1 to do the double at the bookies.



Believists, fill yer boots.

Where did you get those odds???

I'm emptying my bank account now.

I would still want McDermott gone. Because the rugby is appalling to watch, and we're clearly not the best team in the comp.



If we beat Wigan in both finals, we'd have no real bragging rights. We'd have a few artificial bragging rights but any Leeds fan would know in the heart that, whatever trophies we had won, Wigan are/were by far the better team this year. I'd rather (and this is just me personally!) know that we'd earned any trophies or titles by being the best team. Rather than putting in 2 x 80 minute performances that just happened to be in finals.



Just my opinion.

This squad want to win the Challenge Cup so badly, and know it will take a huge performance to do it - last chance saloon for this group of players you could say.



If they do win the Cup, no way would they then be able to raise themselves to the level needed to win the Grand Final from 6th.



They probably don't have the hunger to do that either, as most of the squad already have multiple GF wins.

Ah but what about winning the grand final from 4th?????

Now THAT would be achievable!!!
