Mcshane should have tackled him and conceded the penalty

Who?

Bloody ipod

See how kind I am, I didn't even quote you so everyone could see what you had done.

I thought we were going to get our s handed to us last night so I'm more than happy with the result.

No worries, consider it payback for your avatars.

I noticed similar [i'more than'[/i expressions of [i'happiness'[/i from Leeds fans at the end of the game last night.

I'm glad you did and thank you for sharing that with us.

My pleasure, as always

Disappointed at not winning but we shouldn't be downhearted. When a team gets on a roll it's very difficult to stop. Quick play the balls, forward runs down the middle, everyone gets sucked in and that left us short on the flanks. But how many times have we done that.... hell of a lot especially when we were champions, remember the same situation 6-7 years ago when we losing 22 nil was it, at home to Saints with 15 minutes to go having been totally outplayed all the match. We got on a roll and became unstoppable in those final 15 minutes, we finally won the match in the last minute.
Back to last night there are a couple of points not yet mentioned. The first, having gone 22-4 in front in our next attack we worked the ball to the left and tried to squeeze Ryan Hall in at the corner. We were in a good attacking position to keep in the middle and land a drop goal, that would have meant Wigan scoring 4 times which would have been unlikely. It was poor decision making. The second point is Silverwood could possibly have done us a favour with the Wigan penalty at the end. The way Wigan were attacking there's a good chance they would have got another try and a defeat would have hurt after such a dominating performance for most of the match. The important thing now is we must continue playing with the same intensity in future matches starting at KR. Attitude and approach often let us down.

Thought Leeds played very well and proved to any doubters that we're not finished and will be a massive force in the latter stages of the season when we've got close to our best line up. Initial reaction in the ground I was devastated but looking back now I think it was a very good nights work. A lot of Wigan fans are saying they didn't play well but I think what they fail to grasp is that they were totally dominated and not allowed to play well

The Wigan players also are showing that creeping arrogance towards the official's decisions (something we've seen plenty of from Leeds players in recent seasons.) Not understanding what constitutes dangerous play and standing their ground instead of retreating back the required ten on penalty kicks at goal. Or perhaps that was just Silverwood in awe of the Champions.



If it hasn't been mentioned on this particular thread it's certainly been mentioned on other threads and rightly so. Without Buderus conceding that final penalty there would in all probability have been a winner and a loser. That said Leeds could have been penalised on the next (and last) play of the game also and they could still have finished all square.

I still thought as Sam Tomkins (Wigan's equivalent to Danny McGuire having a shot at goal) was lining up the angled penalty that the game was still in the bag for Leeds. Fantastic pressure kick from the wrong side for a 4th choice right pegger (who'd missed one from bang in front last season at Old Trafford) not that I'd expect that to be appreciated on here anymore than St Helens fans appreciated Kevin Sinfield's last minute effort at Huddersfield in 2003.

My thoughts exactly. My exact words after they got the penalty were "he's a rubbish kicker". I didn't think he'd knock it over, even more so when I saw his almost blasé run up. Fair play to him though, great kick.
