What hasn't been mentioned, unless it's buried deep in the woeful trolling, was Leeds kicking game. Last night like on many big occasions, it was fantastic, constantly finding space and turning the goons around. It's something that we miss big time. Gaskell is ok, wilkin has the odd good kicking game and roby chimes in with a few 40/20s. But other than that our kicking is sub standard.

Another point that seems to have been overlooked is McDermott. How can he coach such a clueless looking team for the majority of the season only to turn in performances when they matter? Is he a genius, lucky or what? He appears to have tge x factor

They have a group of players who know how to win, and although they seem to have lost some consistency they are still capable of turning in world class performances. They were a good team before McDermott so I wouldn't be giving him much if any credit

It's more likely the case that in these games they ignore coaches instructions to a degree and play using their experience.

McDermott must have put yesterday's game plan together, I doubt kev Sinfield just decided to kick Wigan to death.

McDermott has took loads of stick over past two years but his tactics was spot on yesterday.

He gets it right in the big games more often than not.

It's not impossible to imagine that he did. He's been doing it to us in October for a few years now.

True, he just can't do it over the season.

Not this season, no. He is knocking on a bit in age now. But when he's in form, Leeds play well. Mind you, had yesterday been a Grand Final against us he would have converted all the tries as well as kicked us to death!

How sad was your response, how opaque are you? You really should get a life. Calling someone an “inbred idiot” that was also very mature.

WOW!!

how long has this thread been derailed by name calling,

To get back OT it was an entertaining game and its nice to see the "superior" Wigan Team making complete berks of themselves with silly errors,

Call it as I see it.

Enough of the bickering,please.

Back on topic, not only is it nice seeing our derby rivals get knocked off their perch, but its also nice to know that Leeds can do to others what they've done to us.
