Started the game cheering for Wigan but after Tomkins 2's and some bent calls I kinda wanted Leeds to sneak it for the good of the game! When Leeds aren't looking to niggle and start up the offload game you're still a decent side.

You might want to review that. A try does change the result usually when it puts you at least 4 points in front of your opponents...and what about the effect it has on the momentum of the game? If the correct decisions were made today re the forward pass try and the try leading from the non 40/20 would that have changed the result?

Its all academic of course.

I think Ben Jones Bishop made a mistake with his kick after he had made the break, He's a big lad, she should have gone for the corner and run over ratboy. Leeds still had 3 tackles at left at least even if he'd been tackled and more men up in attack than wigan had in defence.

If [ievery [/iforward pass in the game had been been pulled up, of course it would have changed the game. Wigan may have won by more, or it may have been closer. Just because Leeds failed to score from their forward passes doesn't mean Wigan were lucky to win.

Cant say I saw any from Leeds or recall any being mentioned by the commentary team (which doesnt mean to say there wasn't any). Only saw the one from wigan (on replay) only recall one mentioned by the commentary for wigan (they scored from it).

There were several forward passes from both sides throughout the match. No different from any other rugby league match.

I dont disagree. I said I did not see any nor did the commentary team mention any bar the one that was a meter forward (B Noble) which you gained an advantage from.

Fair enough. Generally the commentators only mention them when a score results, because it seems to make more difference I guess.

Anyway, back to the point, congratulations to Leeds for a great performance.

They aren't forward passes unless they are given, until then they are opinions and you'll find as many opinions as there are people in a crowd whenever one is spotted (or not spotted), my opinion of the one that led to Wigans last try matches Brian Noble's but thats all it is - opinion.

Hard luck today guys. Some great effort on show and thought we were about to see another famous Leeds come back. Definitely some questionable decisions by the officials which influenced the outcome of the matches.

(Just hope it has taken enough out of you guys so we can sneek a result on Friday.)

What a load of sanctimonious claptrap !! Welcome to the real world Leeds when not all 50/50 decisions or even 60/40 go your way.

You've had years of Red Hall sponsored 'benefit of the doubt' bias - ask any Saints fan - so accept it that your pampering has ended. In particular, explain it to D McGuire, who obviously hasn't realised that not every game is played in front of the Headingley South Stand and that reality sometimes comes into actual play. (The forward pass try must have really caught in the throat- I nearly shouted for them !!) Magy will be replacing Tomkins as the worst sportsman in RL if he can't finally accept that getting every decision and winning is not the God given right of Rhino's.

For whatever reason, Rhino's appear to have dropped out of the RFL sponsored elite group of teams and are having to face up to decisions that have been going against other Club's for years. You will have to learn to take the rough with the smooth.

Having said that, I do think Rhino's contributed to an entertaining game and performed well.

Thats one big chip you're carrying around with you, we should have a sweepstake as to which of the lesser performing clubs you support.

Hicks was the one who gave a forward pass in the the semi final against Cas, for a pass he saw from Leeds, which at best was flat. He saw that well enough

Smells like Wakefield to me.
