In the interview Geoff Toovey says he thought their pack dominated ours for most of the match.

Wonder what game he was watching

Leeds deserved to win as they played for each other and their fans and did a very good job on Manly.Just for showing up underprepared and thinking they could play with no warm up games Manly deserved to loose ( even if they had of had pre match games i still would of been a rhino for the night )

According to the Manly camp their preparation had gone entirely to plan and I didn't hear them using being under-prepared as an excuse for the defeat.

I trust Manly know how best to prepare themselves for games.

Bit late but well done. You put the pride back into English RL.

Can't understand why burrow wasn't MOM.
He did Manley like he did us in the GF - a great player and tough as old boots.

Smith got injured and couldn't return but which other player/s are you thinking of to justify using the plural there?

In what way did losing Smith on 25 minutes or thereabouts impact the pre-game substitution plan? In what way did using Clarkson to replace Smith effect the plan they had made to introduce McShane? Did they use their full allocation of substitutions?

I appreciate you will know these answers as you are way too savvy to just accept any old crapola coming out of the Headingley spin machine at face value.

Assuming Sinfield is going to be a fixture at six, if McDermott wants to play Burrow the full eighty he could and if McGuire doesn't up his game he probably should at his expence.

Not that I'm completey privy to Mcdermotts selections but Leeds did lose Watkins before the game which meant when they lost smith 2 'second rowers' playing in the centres with hardacre going on the wing. This would limit the interchanges in forwards and maybe that's what they mean.

That was my impression about Griffin as well.

And thats just the modern, free-thinking ones, the rest can be found stood on a kerbside at 5.30am most Monday mornings wrapped in knitted shawls and overcoats waiting "f'ot works tram" which hasn't run down their street for 50 years now.

What's new? Pathetic

Always been the same on there mate the "decent or reasonable" ones a few and far between and the like you say the Mods are just as bad imo.

Not all but a large majority of the Wigan fans are a it embarrassing with there FIOS etc... Especially dragging up there win 30 yrs ago is aus in the world challenge.

I'm just waiting for the one who posted on here on Friday night to return with his childish comments, I deleted them 2.626953125:5
