Rhinos fans struggling to rein in dreams of Grand Final

... after first fulfilling a third nilling on the spin

- 

Another week has passed with a victory and a clean sheet.

And while I anticipated securing two points, nothing is guaranteed.

Achieving five consecutive wins, conceding only 26 points, and scoring 174, will significantly bolster our final standing in the league. A few weeks back, I believed fifth place would be our ultimate position, but now I genuinely feel we can secure third place and gain home advantage in the playoffs.

Huddersfield certainly posed a challenge for us and although we weren't as captivating as in previous weeks, we managed to grind out a win. Jake Connor had to leave the field, which I hope was merely a precaution.

Our play was not as open, leading to an increase in errors. We must address this before Thursday's match against Catalans to ensure a more enjoyable experience for our final home game of the season.

It's hard to believe we are already approaching the season's end. Time has flown by and I am excited about what lies ahead. Could we truly clinch the Grand Final once more? Is it within reach? Are the good times returning to Headingley?

I need to temper my enthusiasm and concentrate on one match at a time-Catalans next and we're hoping for another two points. Let's make it happen.

Thursday's match was certainly not a classic, but it's good Leeds are finding ways to win when not playing at their best.

We still managed to score 26 points and nil Huddersfield, so not disappointing in any way.

It felt a bit flat; the Leeds fans, although large in numbers, were a bit quiet. I think most in the Leeds end were expecting a very big win, but Huddersfield had other ideas and defended well.
