Out of interest, how was the attendance? |

I know it's a fan forum but I'm still a fan. I just watch every game for what it is and try to take off my Leeds specs when talking about it afterwards. Neutrals in general will agree with my view. Leeds and Warrington fans will get touchy about it. It's the way it goes I'm afraid but if they can't see past their own noses its not my problem  |

| Quote: Harrigan "To both of you, the whole paragraph of which that was part of read,
"Leeds should be ashamed with how they've played tonight. That last set was amateur to let Warrington drive down 100 m."
That's because I was referring to the last drive. You can take any quote out of context. If you're going to quote me though, at least get it all down.'"
Even with the whole paragraph, that first sentence is pretty clear and in context, unless you're the one attempting a partial
back track |

Fair enough but your perspective on this one is pretty skewed. By the way, I'd guess you're a bigger Leeds fan than I am.

I can understand why Leeds fans will say the kids have done great blah blah, Wire fans will say we're not playing well but still winning, why shouldn't we win the whole thing, but it's when people say it was a 'great spectacle, fantastic entertainment, top drawer stuff', it just wasn't. For the English game, it's rather worrying.

A bit like watching you clamouring for attention, car crash viewing at times, but entertaining non the less. |

No one's really saying it was a high quality game. Many would regard that game as entertaining though despite the lack of quality. I think the reason why people are questioning Harrigan is because of his 'ashamed' comment, which he has explained was mainly directed at the set leading up to the drop goal. |

| Quote: Harrigan "I said ashamed for switching off in the last minute, as they did.
Entertainment and quality go hand in hand for me. If a game lacks quality, as tonight's did I just can't find it entertaining. I found myself flicking to see how Murray was doing a few times.
People criticise the NRL for its lack of expansive play, but jeez, give me the quality of both attack and defence over what Leeds have served up over the last 4 weeks any day.'"
No matter how bad we were playing I would not switch channels to check on anything else, especially a sour faced tennis player. |

I don't back track. I meant what I said. It can be read both ways but I'm not someone who ever messes about on here. I say what's on my mind and stick with it.
If its not worded to your liking I apologise, but it was meant as "Leeds should be ashamed of their performance tonight letting Wire drive like they did in that last set"
The power of punctuation ay

The game was boring me to death though! Even as a Leeds fan, of they bore me I have the right to turn over right? |

The quality of the attack from both teams was poor and Leeds struggled to win many collusions which meant we were working with slow ball. However, I thought the defence was terrific and although there were a lot of errors a lot of them were caused by very physical defence.
Individually, I thought both our wingers had strong games, and Ablett, JP, and Moore despite the odd daft penalty were probably the pick of our forwards. I was disappointed with Hardaker's seeming refusal to shift the ball to the backs in the first half in particular. However, Kirke and Clarkson really didn't step up, both should be nowhere near a healthy first 17 at Leeds.
Overall given the fact that the majority of people including me thought we'd get torn a new one I'm not disheartened, if we can get anything like a full side out come the business end we'll be a tough proposition for anyone.

Ok then Mr says "tonight" but really only means last 2 minutes, oh ok it's the power of punctuation, or even incorrect selection of words!
