Firstly, don't try and tell me what to do - that's solely reserved for the wife.
Secondly, it did. There was a cup on offer for the win
Thirdly, i never suggested we are.

Briers, Monaghan, Hodgson and Myler on his say can all break down oppostion defences. Hodgson being used as an extra pivot from fullback will be the difference in alot of games this season, compared to last season when Mathers was charged with with that role.

Take Briers out of that 4 and it looks a lot less creative
Could be a problem in big games

Take anyones chief playmaker out of the side and they will look alot less creative. Simple.

| I'm giggling at the desperate attempts to suggest Wire are a one man team. The fact is the man is there, and the man is doing the business right now.
It's silly to point out that without Briers we're a less dangerous team, it's a bit like saying "apple crumble without custard is a bit boring, really".
My hope is that Myler's watching what Briers does and is learning, even if he isn't applying right now. But whether Myler improves the organisational side of his game or not, there is a simple fact that Wire need a replacement for Briers when he retires (whenever that ends up being).

Leeds look very poor and make too many errors, they are not timing their runs well at all and they look easy to beat in defence.

They are a team who would rather win 40-24 thans 24-6.... similar margin but I know what kind of results I prefer when the title is decided on play-off games. The only thing I enjoyed about tonights game was a couple of really high quality tries.'"
Take off those blinkers. Myler has been brilliant this year, creating and scoring tries, aswell as dictating play and seems to have sharpened up his kicking game. He also looks very good in defence. You say Warrington letting in tries, but we let in 1 more than you did against Salford, yes Salford and also squandered a 16 point lead versus Saints.

Yet we won 8 out of 10 games without him last season.

Bore off. Myler has been great this season, defence has improved dramatically. Last year he had a better average of tries/assists combined than both Tomkins and Eastmond. Your post tastes a tad bitter. It's clear your not willing to give us any credit for our wonderful attacking play. I wonder if you wished any season ending injuries on Leeds players last night? That's a hobby of yours.

| Leeds are an enigma.
You never really know what team is going to turn up.
Against Warrington they went back to their old boring twist and mess about at the PTB and we'll wind em up and bash the opposition forwards.
It failed spectacularly.
Yet they have shown they can move the ball about, play the kind of RL that Warrington played ( a la T Smith), and not prat about at the PTB and win.
Leeds followers are in for a frustrating season I reckon.

| I though wire were impressive and to score so many unanswered points (32 was it?) takes some doing against what is still a good Leeds team. Wire have their injuries, (as do Leeds, Wigan etc) but seem to have the squad to cope with it, their pack last night was very good without Morley for most of the game. I'm not Mylers biggest fan but I thought he was better last night, although like many have said, he needs to step it up if he's to really impress. Briers just called the shots last night, we at Wigan could do with a kicking game like his, and Monoghan is quality, that kick to Riley was fantastic. This Wire team is an inprovemnt on last years if you ask me.

You really are so boring. Take your cherry and white tinted glasses off and try to enjoy the game.

Good post. You could teach Odemwingie a lesson or two.
