Oh well, if you lose to Wigan in the playoffs you can at least brick their supporters coaches again.

Been a strange old season with the injuries (what other team hasnt had them tho?)

But a few points from Last night:

*Centres, Senior's passed his sell by date surely? he chase back for the goulding kick was comical. And his turnstyle tackling was reminiscent of Richie Mathers. Delaney is consistanly avarage, is that whats expected for a Champion winning team?

*6/7, for me one of Maguire/Burrows should be sold and replaces with a quality aussie (if there is one available). IMO it would be Maguire, as good as his is for that match winning try from an individual piece of brilliance. HE counter-acts that with consistantly poor tackling (minus the hit on glass jaw), and ill decision making.

*Set Moves, from the games i've seen this year leeds attack hasnt looked this same, possibly with the large player rotation but it seems as if some arent quite so sure what calls being made. Handling skills were put to a test last night but its usually something we excel in.

*Ganson, as mentioned in another thread about his defensive line set up.. its a possiblity. As for some of the other calls it does seem he likes to be contraversial. From the southstand the ablett tackle looked nothing more than a shoulder in the chest rising up. made dramaticlaly worse by J.Tompkins running in for handbags after.

*Wigan tackling, as frustrating as it is to watch, it has potential to win them the Gf at OT. 3/4 man tackles releasing the player at the last possibly moment which allows in turn the defensive line to set. I'd be intrested to see the ablett pentalty again on our own line to see who was holding who down which led to a try.

* Coley/Glass jaw, The probable Hubcap winners have carried these two chumps for the season, neither make big breaks or big tackles and share a minute number of braincells between them.

Next season bodes well for wigan after their recent signings, I was kinda hoping Leeds would be a team to be fearfull of for years to come. As stated above, does loyalty come before sucess?

Ablett's arm was caught between Tomkins legs and expertly held there by young Samuel to win the penalty. Something he's been adept at all season. Another favourite trick of his is rolling over when grounded, trapping a tacklers arm in the process then pretending to struggle to get up to play the ball. Can't knock him for it mind, it seems to fool most of the officials most of the time.

In the end Ganson appeared to suggest that Ablett having ended up with his arm where it was being reason enough for the penalty going against him.

Ganson had a fair point though. His arm shouldnt really have been there in the 1st place

I'm not having that. It just proves how young Samson has all the referees wrapped round his little finger.

Why was Abletts arm there in the 1st place though? He was obviously trying to wrestle him.

Maybe he was trying to tickle/fondle his bollox Leon Pryce style?

Ablett's arm was naturally enough aimed at the player's neck until young Samara expertly manoevered it in to a delicate position.

Your inability to see what actual goes on is quiet worrying for the future. You should fit right in.

Aimed at the neck but ended up in between his legs? WTF?

Your just not seeing the subtleties of the professional game yet.

Samia can't wait till you qualify.

hold your arms across your chest and charge, concede a penalty
put your arms around the man with the ball, concede a penalty
any other ideas?
