Within 10 minutes Leeds had been penalised for sliding in with the knees. If Tomkins had done it there would have been threads calling for nothing less than for him to be exiled form SL. Nothing to do with Leeds struggling, it's how they have always played and how they play regardless of the score in any specific game. And if kicking someone in the face hasn't got the potential to cause injury I don't know what has. The fact that people are up in arms about one potential injury but are happy with plenty of others speaks volumes about their so-called concern.

Its called 100% passion and commitment to the teams cause.
Something you probably dont understand as a Skints fan just now.
And lets be honest, even as a career 'wigan-hater' i bet you'd happily swap 10 of your first 13 to have Sam Tomkins attired in the Red Vee.

God bless you I think you actually believe this stuff I bet you're one of the Pie Munchers who thinks Danny "nicest man in Rugby League" McGuire is the antichrist too

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.

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!

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.

Amazing performance from Wigan. Simply marvellous.

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!

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.
