Yet if Cuthbertson catches the ball we most likely win the game.
Not sure why we played Newman for this game. Plenty of potential but maybe Golding on the wing and Tom Briscoe to centre.
Very poor second half and some class needed in this side sooner than later.

Hello Rhinos from one of the 2 Catalan Fans present .I thought that overall we edged it.Given our remaining Games and our incredibly stupid loss at Huddersfield last week we had to win. Your younger players did not last out the match.But the real difference is that we have only 3 players on the injury list and you have12.

11 out for cas and they beat Wigan. just shows injuries aren't an excuse only you choose to use it as such

Coaching, character, attitude.

couldn't agree more.
but some still won't have it

The problem is Tad is that they see it as an anti McDermott agenda, rather than what it is, and as a result will defend to the hilt.

What you have shown, or shall I say, what most Super Leagye clubs have shown, is that injuries are not an excuse for getting a performance. Specifically what you have stated, is Powell is getting the best out of the resources he has available and is consistent with his results. What McDermott can do his work with certain tools to rely on, he can not work with other tools, and is restricted in what he can deliver because of that.

It is this very restriction that has continually been pointed out on these boards, but because of the messy arguments, and desperation to defend, it gets lost into an anti McDermott message. But without his favoured tools, work will never move forward.

thing is I'm not sure Powell won have won as much with sinfield etc. mac was the ideal man.
so it's not anti mac.
I just think his time has gone and he's it the type of coach we need right now

How many did wigan have missing? (Genuine question)

I think 4 or 5.

I'm sure full credit will be given if Leeds beat Wigan on Thursday.

And if we don’t, you and others will still persist with excuses. People can’t really win on the subject, because difference of opinion or not, we all want the same for the club in the end.

I hope we do.the performance v saints was superb. if we replicate that we win

7 and lost 2 during the game.

Also had 2 grounded tries ruled out as "held up". Those are given and Cas are discussing a battling loss today. Good win for Cas but just illustrates the fine margins between wins and losses and puts your 1 point losses into some kind of perspective.

1 point or 30 point loss, to be honest quite irrelevent. Performance and response is more important, and more relevant to the comments made here. A 1 point loss only has meaning if the performance matches it.

Just wondering who the 7 Wigan players are that would have played last night. I only count 4 that are not regulars, Woods, Hamlin, Field and Paisley. Others missing would only have replaced them so of the 17 on duty 13 are regular first teamers?
