Ask your Wigan players if last night we were saving ourselves for next weeks Semi Final v Saints do you think they would agree with you? Sure Wigan deserved their win last but we didn't rest anyone and had a good go at you with no lack of effort. A combination of mistakes and giving some easy possesion cost Leeds the game but don't say it was easy for you.
If we make the same errors next week we will lose that one too, but given our appalling injuries this season and never a settled side we have done well to climb to 4th position and still be in the Cup Semi.

| Juan, Whilst I would also like to see a deeper attacking line, the most effective way to keep defenders honest in terms of the 10M is the chip over. I would deliberately try it early in the game so they knew it was in our armoury. The defensive counter is to play the sweeper, which naturally leaves space elsewhere.
One aspect of our (GB also not just Leeds) play that frustrates me is the lack of flexibility in the attacking game plan. Have we, as a game, created a generation of halfbacks who can only do what the coach tells them, rather than identify the right play given what they see in front of them?
Biff and barge only works if you are bigger and stronger than the opposition, whereas skill will work against anyone.

| Wigan are a well-coached side. They have a few good-not-great imports (Richards, Leuleui, Riddell), an excellent prospect (Sam Tompkins), and a couple of decent back-rowers (Joel Tompkins, O'Loughlin).
On the whole, they aren't anything special.
That they're top of the pile at the moment says more about the form of Leeds and Saints than the quality of Wigan.

You are asking me to place a wager with you ?
Do I look like the sort of dumbfook who throws away his money betting on sports results ?

| Wigan last night did what Leeds have been doing 4 the past few years,soaking up the pressure then scoring when they got the chance...but come on you Wigan fans that all of a sudden think your team are going all the way you have to remember it's 2010 and been top means f&@k all these days it's the playoffs where the business starts and on past record you have blown it or your a?@e as fallen out...so come grand final if you are there and win it I'll take my hat off cos you would have deserved it but I'll go 4 the usual must try harder next year when you bottle it AGAIN

| as me t'old fa'her says "T' side that wins t' ubcap is usually side that aint had many injurys during t' season, but the playoffs are a differnt beast" From watching last night im quietly confident that if it does come down to wigan leeds, if we can put in a full 80 leeds have the beating of them.

You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

| Wigan really know how to work the tackle area and the referee, it was evident against Hull and again last night. They use the anklebreaking technique of two holding up and a third going in on the legs, regularly have a hand on the ball and in posession hold down the tackler to gain a penalty, hope these tactics don't lead to success as it will lead to more of it.

| Leeds fans should realise, more than anyone, that champions don't get crowned in July. Wigan fans would do well to remember that.

nothing to do with the fact we've won more games than you have, with some decent scores? only that your form is poor?
yeah ok not every side is brilliant, god only knows we've made some mistakes....just give a little credit where its due?
we did beat you in the league earlier this year (if you can think back past the Cup game) and we've won more games than you and saints have. maybe, just maybe, its not for you this year

| The only way Leeds will make the Grand Final is by beating Wigan at the DW, which I don't think they will manage.

| Quote: Harrigan "...Actually worried me tonight.They are a poor mans Saints.
IMO when push comes to shove they will lose 2 playoff games in a row. I have never been as confident at winning the title as I am after tonights game. I know we lost and Wigan played well but TBF they were nothing near a championship winning team tonight to say they were "up" for this game. In the 1st match of the play offs at the DW I can see us winning quite convincingly.
Sorry Wigan... this isnt your year.
Leeds vs Saints final once again.'"
I suggest you seriously think about what you say.
If you think Leeds are good enough to contest the GF,then someone needs to
take moderator off you.
I cant believe the shat you write and i seriously think you dont.
