Quote: Livestrong "We've had 2 important games against Wigan this season...and won both!!'"




<I think you’ll find that Wigan beat Leeds in the most important games this year. If we didn’t beat you in the reguler rounds we wouldn’t be league leaders. Wigan are the bestest this season for beating Leeds then! <Odemwingie mode off

Quote: Austin 3:16 "Feeble attempt at reverse psychology. You are the ones under pressure. Won the league with time to spare and expected to walk the GF having had time to rest in between CC and home advantage and club call, yet fell at the first plus the wobble against KR has you all worrying.'"

We have nothing to lose, your the holders of the trophy so have everything to lose.

You have nothing to lose...........how about the SL GF? If we were at full strength and had finished above you in the league having had time to rest for the CC then yes we would be. You have finished top of the league, lost to us and struggled against KR for a time. You have been the bridesmaids for a long while. Nobody expects us to beat you twice in a row given our missing personell. I would say it's definatley all pressure on Wigan, just as it has been the last 2 weeks, and has shown in your teams performances.

Im sure fans from any team will admit that if you finish top of the league then the pressure is on to finish the job by winning/getting to the GF

If the pressure wasn't there why do Sky constantly make people aware of the fact that Saints are the only team to finish top of the league and not make the GF!

Just been having a quick look on their board, and some of the window lickers are predicting a pies/Hudds Final!

Quote: SmokeyTA "

There is only one valid interpretation of a statement proclaiming injuries being [i"part and parcel of the season and other clubs will go through this too HOPEFULLY"[/i just like there's only one interpretation of a statement proclaiming that a Wigan player intentionally caused an injury to McGuire in back play.

Quote: SmokeyTA "And i give the Wigan players more credit than you. Im sure they are nice people and wish no malice towards Mcguire, im sure if they had known the extent of his injury at the time they would have shown a lot more class and empathy. Hence why i expect they feel a little guilty.'"


I give the Wigan players credit for being disgusted at McClennan's crass insinuation that one of them intentionally caused McGuire's injury in back play.

Has McClennan apologised for that fabrication yet?

Quote: SmokeyTA "they have indeed

"Disappointed in Phil Clarkes comments today.....mmmmm" Matt Diskin

"Can't believe the news on Danny McGuire...so gutted for him.such a disappointing end to a great season for him." Luke Burgess'"


But not disappointed in their own coach's comments on wishing injuries to players of other teams hopefully, or accusing a player of another club of intentionally causing an injury.

Hardly 'Gods of Rugby' are they?

More like the opinions of 'Big Daft Lads' icon_smile.gif

indeed there is. you could quote to the context to make a little easier, but your cherry picked sentence is also fine, it also makes clear than Mclennan wishes no injury on anyone but understands they are part and parcel of the season. Thank you for proving my point for me.

if you find a statement which says that id be interested to read that

Thats nice, an odd thing to say considering thats not what we were talking about. We were talking about the Wigan players reaction to Mcguire not Mclennan. But nice for you all the same
Quote: Keith Swiftcorn "

can you find a statement where he says they caused Mcguires injury? if not you really need to apologise, you wouldnt want to look like a huge hypocrit would you?
And as they were made up, im making up its Burgess and Diskin and they fly the world in magical ford escort listen to an audio book of Jeeves and Wooster read by Stephen Fry doling out karmic justice to rugby league players

Quote: hatty "I like your attempt on reverse psychology, however believe me the pressure is firmly rooted on Leeds, after all your the holders and have won it three years on the bounce, enough pressure there to power 10 fred dibnah steam engines
You've got to be kidding, sunshine.

Wigan finished top, wigan were favourites, wigan have fallen at this hurdle 3 years running, wigan haven't won a title in 12 years.

Going to be a good one I hope.

Wigan are the better side, but Leeds are proven champions with that ability to raise their game when it counts.

Can't wait.

I can't believe this 'no all the pressure is on', 'no its not its on you'.
I think if at this stage if you don't feel a modicum of pressure then you aren't human. Its how you deal with the pressure, Leeds in the past have shown they can handle it, while Wigan have yet to do so. Thise season is their best chance in many a year.

This will be a very difficult game - with our two best players against the most consistent side in the competition at full strength.

I would be amazed if we get through, but this team constantly amazes you - fingers crossed

Which part of McClennan's statement - [i"It's just the way it goes and we're not going to use injuries as an excuse for our position in the table. It's part and parcel of the season and other clubs will go through this too hopefully"[/i also says he wishes no injury on anyone?

Quote: SmokeyTA "if you find a statement which says that id be interested to read that
