As did I, especially when the knives were unnecessarily out for Hall near the start of the season. It was/is plain to see Moon's issues at times when playing centre although I agree he has been better recently in not making a beeline for the sideline.

If moon is drifting out towards the touchline and taking space then back needs to come inside especially if he's brought defenders with him

Is it me or is it simply the whole back line is stuttering at the moment - I think Zak is probably the exception?

When will people wake up?

Leeds form has gone west ever since the magic weekend. Such has been leeds impotence in attack their previously far superior points difference has been completly eaten away despite only really suffering close defeats.

When I try and point out the problems with leeds attack as a team people just dig their heels in. As soon as they hear the word structure when comparisons are made with wigans far more effective methods they falsely write it off as robotic and boring, failing to see what is going on.

Honestly?

Cas will win the CC. (Don't know whether they'll play us or warrington). Their wide attacking play will suit a summer afternoon at wembley and powell has plenty of previous experience to help the players.

Wigan will finish top and win the grand final.

Broken record...

I know, but people don't listen.

Broken record maybe ,but with an element of truth.

We haven't played a full strength team for weeks, we have rotated, and been forced to rotate the team during the second half of the season. We've shown we can beat any team in the competition and we have as much chance as anyone else in the top 5 or 6 of winning it. All the teams around us have to play each other between now and the end of the season so it's still wide open for anyone to finish top.
We have shown some deficiencies but I wouldn't call them "Big problems" all are fixable.

We've all said the attack needs to be better so it isn't exactly your lone crusade you make out.

Btw the Wigan team you admire so much scored just 8 points against the same team a few days ago.

Wide attacking play rarely comes into contention when finals are played as it's usually a much tighter nervous affair. And whatever experience Powell has that you think will help Cas, both McDermott, Smith and their players have much much more. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Kevin Brown is properly fit that Widnes might upset Cas next week.

Neither have Wigan, Saints, Warrington, or Cas either played their full strength for weeks.

And whilst we might have shown we can beat those teams earlier in year, we have also not beaten them since in other games.

They might have played the same team. But I doubt Bradford played as bad against them as they did us. They were absolutely woeful last night. That is why people are getting some realism about us.

Some people have really short memories, probably the same ones who were calling for the coach's head and half the team to be dropped in 2011 & 2012.
And probably the same ones who argued for almost a full season, saying that Jamie Peacock will never be a prop.

Not really. Remembering 10-20 years ago would probably require a longer memory.
Less than 2 years ago really shouldn't, should it?
