Get a grip. You're an embarassment.

Wigan bitchslapped us, I mean they really did a number on us.

You have to admire the coach with a "win by any means necessary" mentality. Leeds don't have a coach with that mentality, neither does any other team in SL that I can think of, but Wigan obviously do and fair play to him. He knew his 'injury ravaged, filled with youngsters' side con't compete in the traditional sense so employed a slightly left-field set of tactics. This paid dividends and got him the win.

Funny though, I never heard any mention of Leeds' injured players or having to backfill with youngsters. Maybe they just forgot.

I agree.



OK then.



I agree.



Entirely disagree. Unless by "owned" you mean "rolled around with a bit." Bateman didn't cause the cut by any means that I can see on the replay. I don't think a blow was landed in the exchange full stop. See other thread. 0-0. Both sin-binned for being silly little boys. I'm a bit embarrassed for anyone who thinks that was a fight, let alone one in which somebody could get "owned." Unless someone made a particularl;y witty and cutting joke at someone else's expense.. Seems unlikely.



I wouldn't want to say no SL player could ever be the best player in the world. But the golden boot's just a PR exercise, so who cares really.

With regard to the PTB, Leeds were dominated and pushed backwards onto their backs which usually allows the defending team more time to get off. Leeds on the other hand didn't push back and allowed the wigan players to fall forward thus allowing them a quicker PTB.

Leeds main problem was that the line stopped an waited for the attackers to come to them, Wigan didn't.

I thought the post match quotes by Leeds coach McDermott was very diplomatic , but we knew where he was coming from.

I think the Coach and his team will have learned a lot from the experience on Saturday, i think that came over in his quotes.

I am really looking forward to the next time the 2 sides meet.
