Theres a big gap between now and the semi final. Leeds are just starting to gain in confidence and form. The last 3 weeks have been huge. You're entitled to your opinion I just think it's foolish to form an opinion on games so far away.

4652.gif I wouldn't bother reading this bit, there is nothing interesting, witty or insightful down here, just this collection of boring words explaining that you really are wasting your time browsing this signature in the vain and futile hope that there will be a nugget, nay, a veritable goldmine of witticisms or divine philosophy. In reality, all you're going to get is disappointment, a sense of hopelessness and a random word.

That is a big call. It has to happen sometime I guess, but when was the last time Warrington won a big match against a big team?
Leeds away in the playoffs a few years back I guess?

| Quote: Ewwenorfolk "It was the only try in the game - defences had been solid for 79 minutes. It wasn't an exceptional piece of play, it was a poor missed tackle (the first one) by Wigan.
Also there were only around 10 missed tackles for Wigan, and one of them occurs in front of the tryline with 30 seconds on the clock.
I'm not denying it was a good effort by Leeds in the last 5 minutes, but Wigan were the better team and Leeds won through a flukey piece of play.'"
Bitter?
Much?
ALOT of people in this thread have said leeds are lucky. But they do that to teams too often for it to be down to luck.

| despite the fact we beat warrington a few weeks back, and beat them well?
both are good sides but there are nothing to choose between them and leeds in a one off game.

| Leeds have proved a class act in one off games in the past 3 years. Its the consistency of proving it week in week out were they stuggle. They could well win the Challenge Cup and playoffs but they're not gonna win the league.

| Gleeson missed an easy tackle. Simple as that. It's exactly the sort of howler I've been used to over the years watching GB throw games in the last few minutes against Oz. Lack of will power.

indeed, having won the LLS last season, and finished second by 1 point in both of the two seasons before, 3rd the season before that, 2nd the season before that, and winning the league with a record points total, by a record margin, with a record points difference the season before that.
Leeds have definitely struggled in the league

| Tough game that. Slightly bizarre OTT stuff about luck though.
Wigan are undoubtedly a hard team to beat, which is good to see. When everyone has the benefit of a bit more hindsight, it should be good news for all that Wigan look like being genuine title contenders. I know they've been narrowly KOd in playoffs in recent years but they look more like the real deal this year.

It's Wigan's own fault they lost - they shouldn't have missed that tackle. I'm not blaming the referee or saying Leeds cheated. My argument is reasonable - Leeds last try was lucky.'"
PMSL
But it's not Leeds "fault" by not missing tackles & keeping Wigan tryless.

Agreed, however after initially thinking Wigan had victory snatched from them at the death, i realised that Sinfield had infact had a poor day with the boot. Most weeks Leeds would have been 2 points ahead rather than behind.
So my conclusion now is that in fact it was a pretty poor game by those teams' high standards. Neither of them coped particulary well with the conditions.
I don't think we can judge too much from this game, tbh.
