Quote: leeds owl "Printer asked the questions and he was right. Wilkin and Holbrook grudgingly conceding the better team won on the night.......but suggesting if Saints performed anything like they win the game. Think we heard the same in Grand Finals 2007, 2008,2009, and 2011. We seemed to hear the same from Cas personnel and pundits in general after last season’s Grand Final. We outscored Saints 5 tries to 3 on their own midden, with a full pack unavailable through injury. The 6 missing were 4 Grand Finalists from last season and our 2 new signings. Dear oh dear, when are other clubs going to realise that the best teams are mentally and physically strong when the need to be. Jon Wilkin appears more bitter and foolish as the years progress. His tight pants and coffee shop have not helped him to see the bigger picture or allowed him to get a firm grip on reality.'"
Agree with this 100%. Its unbelievable how little credit leeds get, its always the other team having an off day or the refs hammered them. Its like its just a coincidence that these off days always seem to happen against leeds. Like is said above, we went to there home patch, missing our best 3 forwards plus a few others, lost a player after ten minutes, three 19 yearolds and josh walters on the bench, only 3 props in our 17...And we beat them pretty comfortably. Wilkin embarrassed himself in the interview, if saints were at there best , they could of won, but we didnt allow them to be, conversley, if we were at our best, were on our home patch and didnt have half a team missing...We could of won by 50
