| Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"I don't hate Wigan. I think Tomkins is a great player. If you can delay his move to your business partners till he's 30 I've no doubt he'll become the best British fullback ever. But what he did to JJB was still very dangerous and very deliberate.'"
I absolutely dont agree with the JJB thing (obviously).....But 100% agree ref Sam.
And i doubt Sarries will be our 'business partners' for much longer, now Faz has jumped ship!

| Quote Jim Bergerac="Jim Bergerac"Webb is the WORST full-back in Super League, and thats no exaggeration. Offers nothing going forward (apart from a bulleted forward pass when joining the line) and, as has been noted on this thread previously, is an absolute disciplinary disaster. I can't remember him being effective since his first season in SL. Surely no coach in their right mind will pick him up for next season. Leeds would look immeasureably better with a reliable old stager like Shaun Briscoe at the back. Or even Michael Platt. Thats how bad Webb is.'"
Hyperbole much?
I agree, he's getting to be a bit of a liability now, but it's wrong to say he was only effective in his first year in Super League. He's been a good player for us.

He's obviously not as bad a fullback as you are a judge of the game.

| Whetever Tomkins did last night, as usual Bailey and Webb were the two biggest nigglers on the pitch, Bailey's face rub near the end of the first half being typical stupidity and handing Wigan a try on a plate. Very impressive performance from Wigan who continue to be the best side in SL this year.

That attempted tackle was not 'passionate' or 'committed', it was reckless and stupid.

Reckless and stupid is how I would describe Lee Smith kicking Finch in the face. It's also how I'd describe LMS kicking up into McIllorum's face last week. Interestingly these things are only an issue when a certain Wigan player is the culprit.

| Leeds are going the same way under Brian McDermott as we did in London, only they've got furthur to fall. As far as I could make out their main tactic was to try to get a Wigan player (preferably Sam Tompkins) so riled that he'd be sent off. Happily Child, who in my opinion had a decent game in difficult circumstances, wasn't having any of it!

| Quote Wellsy13="Wellsy13"Him kicking out was daft (but provoked, not that that excuses it), but I don't see what he did wrong in the tackle you mention. He didn't come in at the side of the knee, he came in at the back to complete the tackle. It was him that bent the player over on top.
.'" It was the holding of that position, and the second push on it that was the problem

Obviously thats the case,
Especially as Leeds are the heavenly choir of angels mande manifest in RL and can do no wrong.
Ever. Fact
Still, going over tackles is all they can do right now, not all that much else they did last night.
Impressive Wigan performance.  I feel stupid for thinking that we would just scrape a win by a try or so lol.

You do realise that when Smith kicked out, he did so because he had just been caught with a pretty poor swinging arm from Carmont, which to Smith would have been no different to a punch in the face and then done over in the tackle dont you?
