I hate to say it but the Rhinos do look unstoppable this season. I can see then winning the regular season by some margin. However, the play-offs are a different story and when those one-off pressure games come around I can see the Rhinos bottling it. It will take something a little short of a miracle for the FC to even reach the play-offs now.

lets not get carried away with the present form of Leeds, amazing,nay...brilliant as it has been. The Bulls are still smarting after their hammering as Leeds trampled them under foot. However, Bradford is not the same team of their glory days At the dawn of Super league nor of this time 12 months ago when Leeds were awarded the win by default.They are a fresh bunch of players with the exception of one or two and in recent matches have demonstrated a lot of promise and power in all areas. Cardiff may prove to be yet another shock result between these two giants.but wheather it is or not I predict the Bulls will regain their past dominance and prove unstopabull!!! by the latter end of the season when it realy counts.

Leeds are a fantastic side this season - a pleasure to watch. I'm a Saints fan and it pains me to say we can't match them this year. Not going to put it all down to our injuries but it sure hasn't helped. Dont write us of just yet though.

Leeds rhinos remind me of the saints team a couple of years back, they were unstoppable then and Leeds are unstoppable now, I think leeds will dominate the league this year if they can keep away from major injuries...COME ON YOU RHINOS!!

All these people who have said Leeds have no injuries! We had to play Ellis in the centre's due to injuries. Injuries we've had this season are:- Bailey Leuluai Smith Ablett Maguire Toopi Kirke Sinfield I'm sure there has been more but that's enough. Maybe it's down to Leeds fitness but we've not had no major injuries over the last year or two. No Rhinos aren't unstoppable but we do look good at the moment even with the tough win over Saints. The only downfall is we look good and tough it out but we are still only four points clear or two if Warrington win with Wigan to play next week, who alwasy seem to beat us!! Anyway it's an interesting year it's about time we started to dominate as we've always been around the top teams. C'MON YOU RHINOS!! BEST SUPPORTED TEAM IN THE SUPER LEAGUE WITHOUT DOUBT. only 11,000 or so fans last night at Knowsley Road. If that was at headingley there would of been 18,000 at least.

Leeds are playing well at the moment but I think that they are playing the best they can play. No team can play at their best for the duration of the season so Leeds will not be dominating like this when the Grand Final comes around. It looks good at the moment but when they get a few injuries like all the other teams have they wont look so good and they wont be so confident.

I am a Bulls Fan and it pains me to say this, but I don't think there is a club team in the world who could match Leeds at this time and if they show their recent form they blow Saints away. The Northern hemisphere is definitely the place for Rugby League Fans.

Although I'm a Saints fan I must say that Leeds are playing some good open rugby at the moment, it's great to watch. The key factor for me is PACE. Any team with pace across the backs will do damage. Donald, Burrow & co being the top men. It's been mentioned before but the men in the red V seem to be running on empty due to injuries. THIS IS ALL PART OF THE GAME! You can call it luck or fate but it happens, you just have to dig in. Hopefully we'll have a fully fit squad for the back half of the season & we'll see other teams get their turn on the treatment table!!!

Leeds have a great defence and are so difficult to break down, 1 try conceeded in the past 3 games prove this. Saints are missing fowards but Jason Cayless is in the 19 man squad for Friday's game this can make difference. Key areas for the game is kicking, fowards and wings. Leeds are yet to prove themselves as unbeatable as you were talking about saints like that a few years ago. Leeds win they will pull away from the rest, Saints win its all close again but its no decider. However don't write off your warringtons, wigans, bradford and hull especially when they get all there players back. Am off to the game on friday, but ashley klien as the ref?? ffs!! Come on u Saintss!!

As a devoted south stander regarding the comment from David Stephenson.Just a reminder that Rhinos are setting the pace for the rest of rugby league to follow.As for not playing anyone yet i recall victorys over melbourne (australian champs i might add),bradford & hull.bear in mind Rhinos have only conceded 6 points in the last 3 games.none against harlequins,2 against bradford & 4 against hull.Dont forget the massive points difference.The title isnt decided yet but i will be a good person to bet against rhinos retaining the super league crown.

At the moment they probably are.I was at the kc on monday and to watch my team destroyed by a leeds team really hurts. But with a bit of luck we will soon be back up where we belong

When Saints's backs are to the wall they usually come good.Don't rule out a big victory for Saints Friday night!

There is a simple 2 word answer to the question 'Are Leeds unstoppable?'... CASTLEFORD TIGERS! We are bottom of the league and performing well, Leeds took the 2 points for granted and they got beat convincingly, Wakefield, Warrington, Huddersfield are all capable of beating them as well if they Leeds think its in the bag. It shows the strength of the sport throughout the league that anyone on their day can win.

In Reply to David Scarr and any others questioning that the Rhinos are fortunate with injuries. On Monday Leeds did not just have Toopi missing. The starting 13 against Hull had 7 positional changes to the GF winning team. They started with their 4th and 5th choice props, which of course is the equivalent of Hull missing their first choice 3 props. Leeds are also playing with their 3rd choice right centre. Is it really a problem of Leeds that they manage the salary cap far better than anyone else in relation to squad depth? In relation to been unstoppable, no team is unstoppable and anyone can be beaten on a given day, but this Leeds team looks to have raised the standare of the game some notches at the moment.

Leeds are on top form at the moment. Give credit where it's due, results don't lie. Best points difference. I'm fed up with excuses how other teams have had players missing. Leeds stuffed Bradford and BOTH teams had key players missing. It's early days so anything can happen as we have seen many occasions. I think Leeds stand the best chance this season of retaining the title. Leeds V Saints. I can't wait!!!

Its early days yet, yes the Rhino's are on form but I hope they haven't peaked too soon, they haven't played every team yet.. Lets wait and see, I would love to see them take the championship again.

Leeds are playing some excellent rugby at the moment, however the season is very long and it is not over yet. I still believe Leeds do not have strength in depth and injuries may play a big part come the end of the season.

Leeds are looking awesome at the moment , but im sick of everyone saying teams they played are injury struck thats why we are thrashing them, look over the past few games leeds have had there own fair share of injuries, the differnece is we have Some very promising youngsters who have come in and grabbed there chances and shined, McClennen has come in and taken solid foundations laid by tony smith and got them playing attractive possitive footy and long may it continue, though i do expect this game to be slightly closer then the grand final!. Biggest worry is prob wigan after all games apart from play-offs they seemed to get the better of us
