32 missed tackles caused by good, strong & evasive attacking play by the Leeds players?

don't forget the lucky bounces we had, you were certainly mentioning them on your own forum, semi final, you wish

Certainly Wigan have not been up to their usual high standards this season but you can only play what is in front of you and Leeds put in a top class performance which would have beaten a Wigan side from previous times too IMO. To not give the coach some praise for that is some what churish.

if we had beaten you by 30 clear points it would of been a fair reflection of the difference between the teams on the night, trying to say we had all the luck is just not seeing your own teams deficiencies or the way Leeds played

Did you miss the part where I said we were awful and flattered you? For some context when Leigh put 50 past us we missed only 12 tackles. We were dreadful and you IMO were only above average and still scored 32 past us.

Leeds first challenge is to clinch second. If Hull beat the it is likely that Saints, the only other side with GF experience who can qualify, will at best, make 4th if they make it at all.

That would give us a home semi-final and i would fancy us against anyone in a home semi-final. Now we have put paid to wigans hopes its pretty much certain we wont face a side in the GF who have won one before (Or even appeared in one in the last decade)

Nobody is really all that consistent. Squads arent big enough. Pretty much all clubs, especially in the crazy long season we have, have a few injuries, a few players who drop in form, and are dipping into the reserves of not ready/not good enough pretty quickly.

I don't have a problem with losing to the better team or a good close game.
I do have an issue when only 2 subs are used and the 3rd gets 5 minutes st the end. or when the forwards are run into the ground needlessly. and while the coach deserves plaudits last week he deserves criticism when he does these daft things. despite what his acolytes say when you dare question him.

Criticise the sub thing, I don't care much for it either. The bits of personal attacks and silly rumours about how badly he treats players or has a non relationship with them like how Him perfectly highlighted in a post the other day is another matter.

perhaps it's true? I have no idea one or the other mind.seth is a responsible poster and to my mind has never criticised Brian before. and he is a respected junior coach and several of his players have come through the leeds youth system so maybe he has heard uncomplimentary things

Didn't you have 99.999% of your thalary cap that in the thtandth when you played Leigh though?

Poor coaching?

Gelling is the dumbest RL I have had the pleasure of watching. He makes Roy Haggerty look like Bill Gates. I quite look forward to watching Wigan now, knowing Gelling will contribute at least one brain fart, but appear to think it's all one big laugh.

You mean mispleasure surely.

Imagine if we had players like that at Leeds?
