Back to Watkins, I suspect the feeling was he might run it off. Which to some extent he did but perhaps not as quickly as hoped. I'm not sure subbing him would've made much difference; we were simply below par in too many other areas. Too few attacking options and, regardless of coach, we don't have one player who can turn a game around single-handedly. To win we need the whole team to perform well as a unit and while the effort was there last night, this they didn't do.

The missus said to me, about 60 minutes in "what we need is an Ali" - and she's got a point.

We don't have a game changing sub any more. Someone who can come on and make a real impact. To an extent we have Burrow who, when played off the bench can come on and mix it up a bit but when he's played from the off the opposition have his number by 10 minutes in.

mcguire did absolute jack . burrow looked dangerous with ball in hand and i suggest you watch his kicking again. by far our best half back. mcguire offered nothing whatsoever

Watkins should have gone off at half time and given Sutcliffe a good run
At to burrow well if you took his metre forward deducted his metres backwards and nullified his metres side wards if think you would end up with a game average of minus 200 metres
McGuire is finished just like he was last season
JJB Peacock and Kyle need to retire
Leeds have had a great run but one plan McDermott will now run the old guys into the ground and another club will takeover from Leeds

Wigan St. Helens Bradford and Leeds have had an era. Wire and although it grieves me to say it giants are in the ascendency
Wire will win next week I fancy and McDermott will snuggle up in his permanent no questions ask job

Totally agree, McGuire did absolutely nothing and was lucky not to get penalised as all he seems to do in the tackle these days is constantly niggle.
Sutcliffe should have been on from the start.

Quite right Tad

Saying it twice doesn't make it right. In fact it highlights the lack of a balanced view

3times now thanks

Oh believe me I have balance

No I don't believe you having read your posts

If only you knew. LOL

Care to elaborate, I'm intrigued?

Not really but I do know a about rugby league from an official perspective

No worries.

Some very poor coaching decisions most of the season with regards to team selection. Whilst we had our fair share of injuries it seems the coach has not planned well enough for their replacements. JJB should not have played last week or this week we had an able replacement in Singleton. Whilst McGuire kicked the winning goal last week and became a hero. He too should not of played last week or this week. Burrow runs sideways more than forward and Seinfeld is getting slower each week. We play without a recognised hooker which for a champion team is a flipping joke. Kylie needs to retire now enough is enough. The worlds best winger needs to find some pace. As stated previously Watkins should have been subbed. Moon,Ablett JP take a bow and I will admit Kirk played well for the amount of time he had on the pitch. Clarkson was poor again . No organisation against a Wigan team who were only slightly above average last night against a Leeds team who played with guts but nothing else.
