The manner of how Leeds got into the position may have had some luck involved, but the try wasn’t a fluke, an English International centre missed a crucial tackle.'"
So a player of his calibre missing a tackle in that situation is lucky for Leeds.
Maybe calling the try a complete fluke is over the top, but it was most certainly lucky and without that luck Leeds wouldn't be in the semi finals now.

And a game winning try in the last minute is a fluke. Guessing Wide to West was pure fluke as well? Even though it was a truly exceptional try to win a game in the last minute. It most definitely wasn't planned

There is always some element of luck to score in the last minute!!

But that only applies to kicks, not to tackles?

Considering the conditions, it wasn't unlucky to miss those kicks, it was very hard.
It was unlucky for an international centre to miss a tackle in that situation.

There's no more luck in scoring in the last minute as in any other minute of the match. In fact scoring after the 75 minute mark is probably more common place than other time periods I'd guess, due to fatigue etc. I'd get your point if it had been a kick that hit the cross bar before rebounding off JJB's chin into Smith's hands but it was a run on the angle to the line.

Firstly, who is ewennorfolk??
Secondly, why would I be bothered what some people on the internet think of me?
Lastly, that post is just a little bit childish? If somebody bought you a hat with that on, you can't try and pass it on to me.

If you’re going to assume that missing tackles is ‘luck’ to the opponents, then, there’s a lot of lucky tries scored.
All I hope is that Bradford don’t loose to Leeds in the Semi’s in a similar manner, your head will probably explode.

It would be more likely to bounce off Coley's chin tbf.
You don't think that was lucky for Leeds to win by scoring in the last minute? When they'd never had the lead up until then??

Ah so the conditions are a factor when it regards Wigan but not Leeds. I think I'm getting where your coming from. I mean Leeds didn't play in those exact same conditions and manage to defend their line for the 80 did they? Oh...

| For once, Damo's posts in a thread are less moronic than someone else's!
Comedy gold some of this stuff. Surely some sort of wind-up?!?

It's dependant on the circumstances.
If a team plays poorly and is consistently missing tackles for 80 minutes, then its not going to be unlucky missing another in the last minute.
If a team stands solid for 79 minutes then misses a tackle near the tryline it is lucky.
You must see that the 2nd scenario is unluckier than the first??
