Are you all really that fickle that all of a sudden everything is rosy? Wigan were crap, as bad as they have been all season, and yet could have won with a better refereeing display and not making stupid mistakes. If you lose the final I am sure you will all change your tune again.'"
Playground logic pal. What you're writing is meaningless playground logic.
It's same as saying if wigan can beat leeds by 50, and leeds can beat warrington by 16, wigan will beat warrington by 66.

| Quote: Famous "Do you think that was a great Leeds performance today? Leeds deserved their win and played okay but still only won by 9 points in a game where Wigan were awful, with a completion rate of 60%, and Leeds were gifted 3 tries by the ref and others through shocking individual errors by Wigan players. Indeed despite all this Wigan still scored 28 points. Todays win will just paper over the cracks at Leeds for another season.'"
How many times will you COPY....... PASTE this comment. Come on, here's a tissue!

| Quote: HyperbolicRhino "2) As much as it pains me to say it, this site's biggest wind up merchant has a point when he drones on incessantly about super league's whipping boys and the structure of the league leaving itself wide open to abuse. Leeds have played awfully a lot of the time this year, but yet have made sufficient use of confidence gained by wins against said "whipping boys" combined with a tried and tested "turn up when it matters" mentality to both qualify for a cup final, and be near enough to the top four to have all of them looking over their shoulders with a bit of trepidation come play offs time.
It's infuriating, but the level of competition and structure of a season make it a lot easier for Leeds to keep doing this than it should be.'"
Well said.
I'm quite sure that Keith Swiftcorn (RIP) never once got tired of being spot on all the time whilst graciously offering his sagely assessments on all things Super League related.
I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Leeds on their performance today and for proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that they really don't care about the regular season games and only turn up when they really need to. How refreshing was it to witness one of those rare games which actually have meaning and count for something? Where a decent performance was required? Where a win was absolutely necessary and important?
It was lovely to not have to put up with another tedious regular round Super League fixture which counts for nothing along with yet another half-d performance from the team. The Leeds club knows this, the Leeds players know this, and I believe most fans are slowly beginning to realise it too.
It's just a shame only a minority of fans got to witness the game in the flesh today whilst the rest only attend games because they have pished their allocation of money away on a season ticket which provides little to no value in any real sense.
Back down to earth next week for another fixture against whipping boy super League rabble. I can already hear those collective yawns.

Was he having a dig at himself?'"
Thanks for the concern daz
I do have a smart phone and I'm not on O2, hth
By the way if my op wasn't tongue in cheek It would be all yours

| Obviously I wasn't there today,but I will be at Wembley,so I can only go on what people say about the game today.I have looked on the Wigan board ,but couldnt make a statement cos I am banned,not bothered about that,and to be honest they have not been on here much either,but I have read several statements from their people about the referee gifting Leeds tries,but Not once have read one thing about the last years cup final and the things that went against Leeds.Things even themselves out,and oh by the way they have not won the GF yet

| Quote: tad rhino "and how about the rest of the games they have been average to poor in?
you are easily pleased with two great performances a season'"
Yesterday was fantastic (as was the WCC match).....BUT if the team is capable of such performances "when it matters" then supporters do have the right to criticise and pour scorn on some of the lacklustre, pathetic efforts elsewhere these last couple of seasons.
If those matches don't "matter" then why should they "matter" to paying supporters ?
The criticisms remain valid.

Indeed.
I find the simple solution is to not attend Super League games until the real season begins (unless there is a freebie involved)

| All credit to Leeds for their performance yesterday, but it shouldn't be used to disguise the fact that performances at that level have become fewer and further between in 2012 than at any time since probably 2003.
How many more does this Leeds side have in them this year?
