Yes, you are definitely convincing everybody as to your motives

I give it 2 years before you are turning up at armed sieges with a KFC bargain bucket and fishing rod.

Erm... NO.

Wigan have always been the most bitterest of enemies for Leeds fans blessed with a collection of brain cells with functional synapses and a good memory. The current Leeds squad of players don't like Wigan either, as evidenced in particular last season.

Feckwitts might nominate Saints or Bradford or Warrington instead however.

The rest of us who rely on a full central nervous system however, are obviously more capable of nuanced thought than those simply relying on their synapses and memory.

As clearly evidenced by your earlier bizarre assertion that Warrington generate more [i'eminity'[/i among Leeds players and fans than Wigan do!



I'd suggest you speak for yourself rather than [i'the rest of us'[/i.

I did no such thing, clearly that memory you were so proud of is failing you. That must be as disappointing for you as your clear inability to understand (the not very, but still) nuanced thought.

Total common sense off a Rhino very unusual

There is complaining about officials, and complaining about officials.

Forget the forward pass try, these things happen. What was inexcusable was the fact that Leeds did not get one single penalty in that second half. Anybody with half a brain could see there were at the very least 7 or 8 opportunitie for Wigan to be penalised in that second half. Infact he did blow up once, then when everyone stopped he shouted play on. Then the first half non sinbinning of Tomkins, that was a joke, I don't think any other ref would have not played to the rules in that instance.

For Leeds, probably best performance of the season. Peacock was absolutely immense along with Sinfield. Webb and McGuire put in some excellent quality but were hit and miss in oher areas. Buderus is just superb, and JJB and Ablett really stood up to be counted. Personally, unlike others, I wasn't impressed with BJB, but not to an extent that I feel the need to critisize him.

Ah, Rob Burrow



It's amazing how decent we look with ball in hand when he's no where near the half back roll. McGuire controlled the pace from 7 and picked some lovely passes that created a lot of space for the outside backs. He also has a much superior kicking game and found the floor a lot. His passes were precise and he took the line on when gaps appeared. Something Burrow rarely does. Now, dont give me, "yeah, but Borrow set up a try with a good pass!". First of all, I agree, he looked pretty good out of DH but the pass was only made to look better because of Abbo's great flick.

I still think we will get Chase too. Thats twice now in the last 3 isnt it that McGuire has started 7 when he has been fit when Burrow has also been in the team?

Either way, that looks the best way to go. McGuire at 7 and Burrow off the bench as a hooker or not there at all.

Sober Analysis?
We lost

Nothing new about losing. It tends to happen quite a bit in sport. It's no big deal unless you're whole life revolves around such outcomes.

Anyway, I've a busy day....

No you have not. You never have a busy day. Ever. Fact

Overall very much improved and the competitive performance this squad should be putting in most weeks.
I just think we made too many errors in the 2nd half and i agree with Gotcha re-Alibut absolute p!$$ poor for both teams and way out of his depth at this level and he wasn't helped by the tough judges either.
I still don't Mc is the coach for us even though i expect last nights effort to ease the pressure on him somewhat i think the players were more determined to show their pride was wounded rather than anything inspired by him.
I also hope that it's the last season we see ALI and Kirke in the Blue 'n' Amber thanks for the efforts over the years guys and Ali is one of if not THE best overseas signing i've personally witnessed in a Leeds shirt and an absolute gentleman off the park.
Plenty of positives lets hope they can build on this now and get a win next week.

Couple of observations; when Wigan get a hard game they say they 'didn't play well' ......LEEDS didn't let them play well, most of the Wigan errors were forced errors.

Leeds certainly didn't get many 50/50 calls, Hallibut is not even close to SL standard reffing.

Dellaney could run through a brick wall in the back row, please McD keep him there.

McGuire was a class act at 7.

Although Ali didn't have a bad game, Abbo would have been better in the back row & a quallity may have made the difference. Watkins & a new world class would be good.

Think our boys did us proud last night, it could of easily been very different against one of the 2 top sides in the comp, WELL DONE LADS!!!
