I think the Leeds players defending had something to do with it.


Seriously though - officials make mistakes. They are human. But what they say goes.
And that's the way it should be.

Spot on.

Can't stand this rushing to the ref if you don't like the decision, we don't play football.

True. But not if you want to take it in isolation. Leeds got a lot from the ref too as have ALL teams in ALL the other games played this or any other season. It's not the reason we won. We won becaause we were the better team and deserved to win. We defended better and attacked better, Anything else is simply irrelevant.

Oh, and a Wire fan on a free weekend....

I was REALLY suprised to see Mr Sinfield talk to the officals at length... I know he has a right to as captain, but he does rather abuse the privilage.....

I blame this crap thread on Jonathan Davis' bitter comments on the BBC after the game. We'd just seen an exciting game that could have gone either way, players had flogged out their guts on both sides, and for a pundit and ex-player to basically say we only won because of the ref was just spiteful.

I thought he let himself down and focused on the negative after such an entertaining contest.

Personally I don't care what Leeds, Saints, Wire fans think .... we won the cup and I am chuffed to bits it is hurting them so much.

Special mention to St Pete and Agent Mulder .... my kids are finding your rants particularly amusing. Thanks lads

If you notice Sinfield has a very limited knowledge of Rugby League ... he needs most decisions explaining to him by the referee .... usual takes his kids along too, namely McGuire, JJB and Lee Smith.

I'm pretty sure I predicted on the VT that this place would go into meltdown should Wigan win by some Dubious call or another. Seems I was right. I just hope we win next week off another blatant forward pass, I love the animosity, and that the rest of the RL world would rather hate Wigan than enjoy a good game.
