Oo oo - look someone said something nasty about Saints – ON THE LEEDS BOARD.

You’re new here aren’t you?

OK I’ll explain how it works on a forum that is specifically for the discussion of Rugby League by Leeds Rhinos fans.

We discuss the sate of the Leeds team, argue about Leeds players, converse on the Leeds youth development system, chat about the Leeds ground, natter about Leeds player performances and frequently take the out of other teams – surprisingly that also includes St. Helens.

Some of us are open minded and prepared to accept that other team’s fans may get upset at some of the things that are posted on here from time to time, the other 99% of us couldn’t give a flying fubar about offending the likes of you.

Do you understand now or is this a concept that you find, somehow, alien?

You had to set up an alias to say that?

Someone really,really needs to spend less time on the computer.

Two more matches, then he's gone - I here Bradford will be looking for a New Coach soon

This result made me chuckle. In all the Sunday rags it was full of Wigan's threat and their promise to deliver this season. First game in and they come out with a poor result. Only managing one try is worrying. Wakie were written off, and that's how Kear likes it, he's managed to rise his wounded troops and they got a superb away victory. Well done them.

Mathers also made me laugh, in amongst the rags was an article with him, full of self importance, and noted that injuries didn't keep him out last season it was the 2 red cards. He said he would clean this part of the game up, does he? Nup, crucial yellow card in the final quarter for tripping. Muppet.

Also, when did tripping become a yellow card puinshment??? I clearly remember it been heavily frowned upon, and there was no flexibility, it was a straight red card. I remember Big Bobbie Goulding getting red for tripping at HQ in front of the SouthStand, the victim was Mathiou IIRC. Edward also springs to mind for this. You don't tackle with feet, tripping is a stupid thing to do IMO and worthy of a red, not yellow. I just wonder when tripping became acceptable???

Tripping isn't acceptable but it hasn't been the autumatic red it once was for a number of seasons.

If it still were Thomas Leuluai wouldn't ever see a game out.

I wonder why though? Why change this from a red to a yellow? Rugby's tough enough without someone picking up a daft injury due to a trip. Policy review required me thinks.

Mathers was truly awful - that trip was closest he came to an attacking player all afternoon.

He talks a good game, I'll give him that.

Webb for Mathers = a true master-stroke of recruitment.

Remind me again how poor Leeds looked in the second forty on Friday against what was to all intents and purposes an NL1 side? Are you writing Leeds off for the year on the basis of that performance?

That would be silly. The example you have given is ludicrous. Leeds got the job done and won the game. It wasn't polished or classy but we got the win, we got the 2 points which was what mattered. Whereas Wigan didn't and looked poor throughout. I read a flurry of Wigan bumf and they didn't deliver. Fact. I'm not writing Wigan off, we are only one game in, but boy it made my chuckle. The simple point is, any question marks that were looming over Wigan are still there, they haven't shown a signal of intent or put down any firm markers. Leeds don't have these question marks.

How do you judge whether a team has "delivered" one game into a season? They played poorly and lost. Leeds played poorly but were fortunate enough to be against opposition so badly prepared they were unable to take advantage. If either side continues that level of performance much further into the season they'll struggle to deliver on their pre-season promises.

Quite easily. See who won. We can get into the pragmatics of better ways to win or lose, but ulimately winning the games are all that counts. Those who win deliver. Results are judged upon, and rightly so. Do you think Wigan will feel like they've delivered against Wakie? A quick persual on their message board answers that one.
