He thought we conceded "soft" tries which didn't help. His main comments were in support of the Leeds players and what he thought was disrespectful treatment of them by the press prior to the game (I don't read newspapers so I don't know what that was all about but the guys in the BBC studio understood very well what he meant). It wasn't a rant, but he was also keen to point out that people (and I don't think he meant fans here) who thought this squad lacked commitment and passion were dead wrong.'"
It's at about 2h35 rlhererl

It was disrespectful, he's spot on. Comparisons were made by some fans and the media to the Sheffield Eagles final in 98. Mentioning this side, the majority of which has taken part in 3 Grand Final wins, in those terms is plain daft to be honest

| Wasn't sure which post to post on but this is the one.
As an FC supporter frankly today I didn't want either side to win but I have to congratulate the Leeds team on their performance after an opening 20 minutes which looked like a walkover.
Unfortunately Brent Webb was a disaster waiting to happen - the guy has just lost it - but I was mightily impressed by the response of the Leeds team, particularly as some of your leaders - notably Sinfield and Peacock - were so poor. For me Ablett and Delaney were outstanding and, like Hull in 1985, you played your part in a great final.
I have too many memories of losing at Wembley but at least your players were a credit to your club and supporters.

| Quote: marcel "I am very proud of the team today, we put in a great effort and although we didn't get the result we should all be pleased with the performance.
We gave wigan one heck of a game in the 2nd half. To fightback from such a deficit on this occasion, against the best team in super league shows the immense determination and character of this team. For that, we should all be thankful.
I hope none of our players or officials mention a word about any 50/50's. Wigan scored more points, and for that, deserved to win.
One thing I'm proud of is when we win, players like sinfield show a tremendous amount of dignity and class. The same in defeat.
I think a certain individual could learn from that today.'"
Correct mate! Perhaps Sir Kevin could set up as a personal dignity coach for some of our younger talent Take note RFL

As a Warrington supporter I would dispute that statement. Currently we have won more games, scored more points for and had less point scored against us. After next Sunday it may be a different story but till then.............

| As a proud Wire fan for many years and a neutral on Saturday i was embarrased at the performance of Bentham. Unlucky Leeds, nothing went your way from the Merry Warrington whistle blower.

| Better thread this. Bad losers and bad winners abound. It was a good match, better than I hoped for if I'm honest, and that is how it should be remembered.

Are you alleging that the OP did that? If not, I fail to see what your point is. If so, I hope you can prove it.

You have also lost more and have fewer competition points, not to mention a home Challenge Cup quarter final defeat (V Wigan) in the only game that really mattered so far this season.
I suppose all those wuppings you've handed to SL rabble clubs do count for something though.

| As a Wigan fan I thought Wigan just shaded it but well played by Leeds.
I don't think Leeds got the bounce of ball (or is it bounce of referee). The Mossop forward pass, Charnley incident and poor kick by Jones Bishop could easily have gone better for Leeds, albeit Wigan had a few chances to really pull clear early doors.
It will be interesting how both teams play in their respective games this weekend. that match will have taken a lot out of both sides.

A poor kick? have you mistyped there, interested to know.
It was a poor decision in hindsight, as I think he would have beaten the cover to the corner. But the kick was spot on, it was a combination of superb recovery from Tomkins and the bounce of the ball not going to the left that stopped a certain try.
