We should be getting behind the team not slagging individuals off, yes we didn't play our best, but you have got to give Leeds a lot of credit I thought Brian McD came with a game plan, starve us of field position, take us on up front make as few errors in own half as possible, and kick deep pinning us back and starting sets in our own 20, and lets be honest his players executed that plan very well. Yes we made mistakes and gifted them 4 tries with mistakes in our own 20, but we still pressed them and made a great game of it scoring some good tries from inside our half. Sinfields kicking was the difference, we were not allowed any decent, consistent field position and had to launch most of our attacks inside our own half.
Beaten by the better side on the day imho.

Correct, after an error like that the intensity in the defensive set needs lifting, we didn't, they capitalised on ineffective tackling, it was 'one of those days', we haven't had too many over the last couple of years, lets move on.

I think Tomkins missed the 40-20 because his head was still all over the place after making the mistake for the first try. The third try where he was too busy complaining to the ref was the most unforgivable of the lot imo and was unprofessional. Tomkins is an outstanding player but he still has a lot of work to do with his attitude.

Our line defence was disgusting with three players unable to hold Ryan Bailey from scoring an easy try. Our sliding defence was shocking as well with Ben Jones-Bishop's try so easy it was painful to watch.

Leeds had a absolutely superb gameplan and made far more yards up the middle then we did but more importantly found the ground quickly and got the quick play the balls for Rob Burrow to destroy us up the middle. Add to that a far superior kicking game and Wigan were very lucky they didn't get pasted by 60.

Luckily we still have decent strike players and Leeds are also pretty poor in defence (which is why they will lose to Warrington in the final IMO). Our mistakes give them the early advantage but they were head and shoulders the better team than us, even without the Sam Tomkins fiasco.

Interesting comment from Martin Sadler in League Express, a neutral, who complained about the poor line markings at Hudds saying that this contributed to Sam's misjudgement of the 40-20.

I was sat near the incident and certainly he had time to judge the situation.

Worst goal line defence I've seen from us since 2006. Never once had the confidence that we'd hold them out (which usually I do)
