You should lay off the little fellas pal, typin is far easier that way

I must admit I loved seeing him lose his rag at the end, with some guy next to him (Harris?) face down with his head in his hands, it reminded me of John Kear when we beat Wakey in the last minute a couple of yrs ago.

I think some of problems come from the simple fact that we don't have enough players with the ability to to execute the right pass on the edges. Delaney and Hardaker inparticular are fairly poor in this department. Both had great games overall but it is something they need to improve on greatly.

Dare I say it.....? .... we miss Webb

(Only joking: Hardaker was/is brilliant in all other areas especially in the very-unlike-Webb-great-defensive display.)

It was just as i thought to be honest, i knew without mcguire leeds would struggle for creativity, we really seem to lack that little 'je ne se qua' attacking nsive in near the line without him (and webb now as well), and i thought that would be decisive in wigans favour.

But sh*t fate didn't half throw a curve ball with tomkins out and the early intercept try. The once ahead it was just a slow tough grind, classic playoff rugby.

Wigan didn't half lack some composure though towards the end 1 point up.

In Watkins they have a real strike player - they have to get him more quality ball

Great game of Rugby League and Leeds deserved their win primarily because they played the conditions to perfection.

That is a point myself and Conroy have made on the Wigan board. Wigans "generals" particularly Finch and Tommy L took the wrong options on the last tackle. I complain about other teams doing it but that ball should have been kicked dead and made Leeds come from 80 metres, which they never looked like doing (apart from the loose Wigan pass). Had Leeds been in that position they would certainly have slowed the game down by getting the ball out of play.

Superb match, and a great defensive display from BOTH sides, much better than some of the tick and pass we've seen this season.

I axtually think we missed McIlorums agression and kick pressure more than we missed Sam.

Yeah I agree but i do think tomkins chiming into the line and evasive runs in broken play would have put leeds on the back foot more during the game.

How lucky were we at the end with hall lying on? The ref had been letting those pretty much go most of the game...but still.

If Delaney had kept hold of it more, he may have seen it.

Loved that defensive set. That was as enjoyable as any try scored this season.

reminded me of the 98 pack of flearey,farrell, glanville, morley etc. brutal and brilliant to watch
