[b:1pp4mkp0]I say Sir, do you really think that's wise? [/b:1pp4mkp0]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_61635.gif



Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "That's a terrible insult to Leeds's effort last night....To say we bottled it is simply a cop-out, Leeds were tremendous and, in my opinion, would have beat any Super League side last night with that display.

The sad fact is some of our fans have got carried away with the way we have been blowing sides away this year and seemed to expect it every week, and when we didn't we get accused of 'bottling' it.....Last night was a play off match against an experienced, if under acheiving, Leeds side and was always going to be a tough game - There is no shame in the way we went out.'"



Agree, Leeds played their best game of the year, but they beat us by a 2 point penalty, good luck to them, I want them to win the GF, but Champions? Absolutely not !

Lets be honest - we won two Challenge Cups against sides that bottled it.

Huddersfield froze in the headlights of their first experience of Wembley, and then Leeds crumbled under the pressure last year and played a shocker.

We fortunately managed to avoid our nemesis the Saints because they bottled it in the semi finals both times (like this year as well)

But of course we thought those wins were cos we were just too good for our opponents. In both years we were clearly underdogs - in 2009 Hudds made the playoffs and had the best player in the league and we finished 9th. Last year Leeds went into the game as triple Grand Final winners and they couldn't handle the cauldron of knock out rugby.

Not bad.

However, just to clarify, the Wire Hudds final saw most bookies have both teams at 5/6 or 4/5, and we were marginal favourites against Leeds last year, IIRC. icon_smile.gif

FFS, 5 pages of bait rising to the @@@@wit that is Colin_Fishwaick

Are some of you lot blind or daft?

I tumbled this imposter weeks ago.

I mean, COME ON, we won the league 3 weeks ago, and where was he....nowhere to be seen
He predicted our downfall v Wigan...wrong
He said we'd get beat by Hull...guess what, wrong again.
As a result, we won the league for the first time in nearly 40 years, and guess where the @@@@wit is.....nowhere to be seen

We hammer Hudds....no posts from little Col
We have 13 days without a game.....again, no posts from little Col
We lose a game, and he's throwing in bait like it's going out of fashion.
Come on boys and girls.....if Colin is a Wire, then Ian Paisley is exchanging Christmas cards with that t0$$er Gerry Adams.

Clearly you have missed out on the past 13 years of power sharing.

If the DUP can sit in an assembly with Sinn Fein then we can all learn to love each other, Odemwingie kingwarrior Rogues Gallery Saddened and Casual Des. Like Bob Marley said one love, one heart lets get together and feel alright.

Lefty Im somewhat concerned about your obsession with the regularity of my posts.

Ever considered I may be away on business or on holiday?
Anyway im a wire fan of many years who doesn't blow smoke up peoples backsides when its not deserved.
Warrington messed up and we all know it. Leeds played well and deserved to win because we didnt play well enough to beat them.

All any supporter can ask of their team is to be competetive and consistent and this year you have been,top of the league,some great rugby played,a nice stadium,financial backing,a good team,a good coach.With only 3 items of silverware available its hard to keep winning them in a salary capped sport.

I said he isn't a wire fan on page one.

its alright saying leeds played well last night but the simple fact is we were awful and our supposed star players did not turn up,only king and riley turned up, monas anonymous, bridge (make your own minds up) all leeds tries came from distance which shows our alarming lack of both pace and one on one tackling ability!!!!!!! WE need to improve next year or else we will have the same scenario.

icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif ....Oh God, another season where we do the double over Saints, Leeds and Wigan, put 50+ on sides regularly and get inched out of the play-offs in the best game of the season...However, will we all cope??.... icon_lol.gif

We got pipped in a great game....We were not awful, neither did we bottle it....It was just a very close game, which could easily have gone our way.

In sport, especially a salary-capped sport like RL, these kind of things will happen....Handle it with dignity and a bit of reality, rather than waffling awful rubbish.

I'm more concerned that you may have just been let out for the weekend.
There are 3 Trophies on offer each year, in the past 3 years we've won one of them. OK, it was very disappointing to lose on Friday, but an awful lot of other team's supporters would have liked to have been somewhere close to our position on Friday.

We've had a great season.

Leeds Saints and Wigan all have squads good enough to win a grand final. Unfortunately only one of them can

And I will say again - if someone had said we would beat Wigan Saints and Leeds twice in a season three or four years ago then they would have said we were barking

We were 2 points away from going to a grand final in a game which could have easily gone our way. We are now competing in the league and holding our own. So Fishy Fishwick is talking a load of .....
