| On a separate note Martin has been playing reality well of late and did again last night.,was a great run to set up Myler. I’d be more than happy to see him play for another couple of years with us.

Id keep him too, think he’s playing well at the moment, I think we all might be underestimating how much Covid hit him, it can affect you for months.
What I really really like about this group of players is the commitment and passion they are showing you could see it when they came over to thank the fans last night.

| Thought it was fascinating seeing Lam get interviewed before the game last night re Hardaker. Question was something along the lines of 'Hardaker said he wanted to be England's first choice fullback a the start of the season so how did you persuade him it was for the team's good to move him into the centres tonight?'. Was expecting a response along the lines of 'Well I'm the manager so I decide where people play' or similar but his response was 'Actually that was Zak's idea'. Really raised my eyebrows that. Lam then spoke about them being a 'rudderless ship' afterwards and to be fair they looked in complete disarray. Certainly seems like they're lacking some leadership on and off the field. Thought Field looked really poor at fullback too, quite pleased we dodged that one.

| Ive missed nights like that these last 18 months. Outstanding effort by everyone including the Leeds fans last night. Absolutely brilliant to nil them on their own patch. Cant single anyone out, the whole team worked their nuts off for 80 mins and got what they deserved. The fans sung theirs off for 80 and got what they deserved too. It was great to be there last night.
On a seperate note when you look at the fixtures remaining why has everyone got same amount left as us yet weve played 3 and 4 more than them? Clubs are pleading poverty yet they are allowed fans in now and they arent playing games. Make Hull and KRnt play 4 in 14 days like they made us do which nearly broke our squad.
Proud to be a Rhino last night.

Totally agree. I find it a little bit galling that some are saying this is the worst Wigan side of all time. They are not. They are simply not coping with adversity ( the kind of adversity that Leeds have had to live with all season) very well. Anybody who thinks otherwise needs to check out the Wigan 2005 vintage. Not a very good year. It's worth remembering that despite our understandable clunkiness, we have picked up wins at Wigan, Warrington and Hull this year. That's progress.

Wigan are also not that much of a basket case in defence, they aren't leaking a lot of points, its just their attack which is dreadful.
Was a great atmosphere last night well done to all that went!

Oh yes. John Bentley, and Phil Ford doing the damage and Schoey pulling the strings. Then my mates bare backside presented to the Wigan fans

| Whilst it wasn't a game for the purist i enjoyed how we went about our performance. Our D was top notch & irrespective of what the pundits were saying about Wigan our D was the main reason we won that.
Once again Leeming was a major positive influence but how good is it having Prior back?
Also i thought Newmsn & Gannon easily outplayed their opposite numbers & although my criticism if T.Briscie has been clear all season last night he was quality on our left edge.

One of my favourite Leeds games. Remember Phil Ford kicking the ball through for what should have been a certain try only to launch he ball into orbit with his last kick forward?

| Looking at the stats from the game, Martin was excellent again. He's making well over 100m and 30 tackles every week.

| I’m still undecided whether T Briscoe is better as a quick centre than a moderate winger at this stage. He was good in defence last night, mopped a lot of stuff up.
I saw a Leeds side that looked in a rhythm last night - I can tell when we’re on. As I said earlier in the match we were the better side even when Wigan were dominating territory.
Been a while since I’ve seen the team confident and cohesive like that.
Newman needs to work on his skill for me but he has such power in his directional changes, a real athlete.

| TB is no Centre, you can't play Centre and not be able to pass.

Why not....you could argue that both our first choice centres, Sutcliffe and Newman (now Hurrell is off) don’t have much/any passing game between them...both prefer to run. Hopefully Newman will develop that side of his game as if/when he does he will be truly world class but Sutcliife has struggled for years as to when to pass and not to pass
