Disgraceful tactics from leeds, attacking the wigan forearms with their heads.

I'm calling for an RFL enquiry.

Well, the 2nd half against saints was played with 12 men when we were obviously trying to hold onto the slender lead we had built so understandable.

Tonight we have looked dis-jointed and not wanted to roll our sleeves up and do the hard graft against a commited Wigan pack so chances are always going to be at a premium when you are the back foot.No point reading too much into this, once the real stuff starts im certain the game plan and intensity will be of the required standard. Main thing is we have our strongest team out and Delaney looks to have a problem.

Fans have paid good money to watch a very poor performance in a game they needed to win - Shambolic not one player can say they had a good game

*shrug*

Roll on the playoffs

Our attack has been poor for months now, even with Burrow & Maguire. Just so pleased they have now got challenge cup medals as I would not be too bothered if some of the old guard were moved on next year.

Wigan really wanted that tonight, Wane always has them fired up 100% for us (Magic weekend) no matter what.

As you say, key players to return and we all know we have much more to give than that.No panic.

It's the same thing that was levelled at McGuire in the games against Wakey and Catalans when Sinfield and Burrow were missing.

They need each other to be at their best, you take one out it effects it, two missing then definitely.

Crap player we have 15-16 best players and that is it need to add genuine strength in depth next season.
We can still win GF with our best side out though.

pretty much this.

confidence is shot - that's what happens to young players that McDermott doesn't like/rate

That's incredibly harsh given how much Thaler kept us on the back foot all night - even the Sky team acknowledged on numerous occasions (even Clarke - that's how bad Thaler was FFS!). In the circumstances, whilst Leeds weren't at their best, they stood their ground throughout and never gave in.

Not surprising as the huge problem was because we were without our key attackers Burrow and McGuire in both games and one man down for 60 of those minutes.

sounded like a great atmosphere at the game tonight and thought the Leeds fans were superb, still singing and getting behind the lads to the end despite the result.

so if you believe that why did you not want to play McGuire in the semi?

Perhaps this is just your way of covering for a player who is in serious decline!!

Should be a massive crowd for the first week of the playoffs at home against Catalan
