Would I say we are the dirtiest team in the league? No, I think Catalans take that accolade, but would I say that I think we are very close to the line? Yes, and sometimes we go over it. When done correctly, aggression in our defence is what wins us games, and it's the basis of our performances week in, week out as teams can't usually match it. You take out that aggression from Wigan, and you lose most of what makes us a decent side.

As for people complaining about us lying on, I literally take those comments with a pinch of salt. The point of defence in rugby league is to slow down the opposition as much as possible, and get your line set as quickly as you can, if the referee isn't going to penalise it for what he thinks is 'lying on', then why should we stop it when it's clearly helping us? I hate the comparisons with those down under, but the Aussies sure as hell slow the game down as much as they can, so I have no problem with that point.

I actually hope you win tonight, been a while since a Wigan-Leeds Grand Final, and I can't for the life of me cheer St Helens on. You lot are decent bunch as well, loved Wembley 2011 sharing beers around London mixing with the Leeds lot despite the result so could be another great day out Saturday should you win tonight.

Unfortunately it's how I feel, despite my team having possibly the most successful season in their history. I never thought I would see the day that soccer became a more honest sport than Rugby League. Can you imagine the FA saying to their refs,
" If he's only a yard or two offside just allow the goal. It will make the game more appealing"
I got my Grand Final tickets this morning and can't wait for next Saturday, I'm buzzing. But that is only because I'm Leeds mad and want my team to do themselves and the city proud. It's despite what the RFL are doing to the game.

That's a right load of rubbish.

no it isn't. you want every single offence penalising. go watch Union you'll enjoy watching a stop start game with 50 penalties a game

Of course it's rubbish. You ref football, would you let a goal stand if it was just a " little bit offside", or would you let a player move a free kick " just a couple of yards forward". Judging by what you say, you probably would. Football realised what was happening and how it was being derided, and chose to become a bit more honest.RL is hurtling in the other direction.

only if they are interfering with play, as in rugby.
I totally agree a moving off the mark. they move two yards left then get a pen as markers aren't square. I do think refs are getting wise though
