22-0 Aussies. Point a minute

I told you they were an outstanding team.

28-6 at ht.
Ashton Golding went closest to scoring before Aussies got there 1st try. They then got 3 tries without leeds touching the ball. Golding scored for Leeds before Aussies got another on the hooter. Bit of biff 2 in the bin but Aussies look to have plenty more points in them, cutting leeds to pieces down our right side.

Deciding to play a bit now Leeds.

32 - 18 15 mins to go

They were outstanding at times, certain players especially, but I bet a combined Leeds/Wigan would have beat them tonight. We just had really poor players in sme areas ad the Aussies exploited. But we had plenty of chances to make it much closer, and some por calls at times from the ref.

Golding and Lilley had excellent games for us. Sutcliffe looked good at times, so too did Minns after first half hour of game. Mulhern looked powerful, and Baldwinson kept running it it without making much damage. Tanks looked ok and for me better than Walters and Minchella. But Milton, Norfolk, and Handley looked really poor, along with a couple of others.

For them, Gela, Tracey, and Stone were absolutely outstanding.

They had a huge pack and for that first 25/30 minutes we just couldn't handle them.
As Gotcha said we had chances to make it closer but they were deserved winners i'd also say Liddle(9) Sele(1icon_cool.gif & Amone(10) were strong for them.
Dont know what anyone else thought but after the all in scuffle how only 2 ended up in the bin with them getting the penalty i'll never know it was in front of where i was sat and they even had 3 subs come wading in after they started it with a cheap shot on Brierley in touch!

Mincella won't make it at Leeds or any other super league club, looked well out of his depth tonight. So did a few others. But some held up well.

Stone for them was outstanding and not a big player either.

Nice gesture by those young Aussies to leave a floral tribute in remembrance of Graham Murray

Interesting comments regarding Minchella & Handley given that they are in the England team for the test series.
Worryingly for England, i thought 3 of the 4 Wigan players from the England team were poor last saturday as well.

Not sure who is in the England squad from Wigan tbh but thought they were pretty unlucky and assuming there are stronger players elsewhere a combined team should go pretty close. These three games the Aussies have had together will definitely give them an advantage.

Handley was the major reason we lost at London - he needs to work a lot harder on his game if he is to make a career in RL

I thought we were much sharper when Robbie Ward was on the pitch and as others have said Mulhern looked the part, as did Lilly. And WTF do they feed their 'school boys' down under? They're fookin' massive.

I thought Ward looked much stronger than his size, but felt when he went off the team as a whole went better, as Lilley did a lot more. And the replacement Frankland got through quite a bit of work.

Minnsie put a massive hit on Stone which I enjoyed
