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.

You'll never get any praise from me because of how your team is coached. Source? We are Warriors documentary. Wane is a thug. Horrible man, who comes across bitter in interviews, and compounds that fact in that documentary. Couldn't care less what you said about us aftet LLS and CCF. Wigan are rotten to the core. Everyone thinks it

Wigan, are an excellent club, and a very good side, to say other wise is just daft. They don't have a shred of charisma, but that doesn't win RL matches.

You are correct about it not winning matches. But I'm a bit mystified about this comment. Who are the Leeds players who you think are charismatic?

I presume that Wigan will be installed as favourites by the bookies, side at almost full strength and an easy warm up game. But I reckon with a good well executed game plan and a ref who favours a quick PTB, we are in with a good shout. But win or lose I am immensely proud of the effort and resilience shown in the last two games. The will to win in that team is epic. Can't wait for next week and a visit to OT

Interesting question, I'd say Wigan are the grubbiest but cats are the most hot headed, some games Catalans ain't too bad both others they just seem to completely lose logic. Wigan on the other hand are more calculated.

It's not tiddleywinks.

We will match up next week, no problem.

^^^^ this MOT

I never said any of the Leeds players were particularly charismatic, I'm a Leeds supporter so I'm obviously going to view the club differently to a non Leeds fan. The Wigan club just has a cold feeling about it, it's not a criticism, it's the robotic nature of the club that is a big part of what makes them successful.

I must say I usually enjoy your posts as you seem to speak a lot of sense. You might be right about this but I really think you are way off. The teams are well coached and we tend to offload less than other teams, but we pass the ball more than most and score tries from way out using our speedy wingers a lot.

I don't understand your robots claim. Please explain.

There was a notable lack of biff or even any sort of niggle in the game last night - complete contrast to Leeds/Saints games of years gone by. Will be interesting to see if that's the case next week.
