I said that about the bomb during the game. It must have moved so far to the right when it was in the air. Sam probably shouted for it when it first went up so Charnley will have moved in field to offer him some protection from the chasers. The ball then drifted out towards Charnley's wing, leaving Sam with too much ground to make up (I still think he was a bit too casual getting to it mind) and Charnley out of position. You have to credit the kicker for such a good kick before you start criticising our players. One criticism of it is why did Sinfield have so much time to put such a good bomb up?

I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

| Quote: Geoff "True, but there again, even after his error, on a normal day we should still have been able to defend from the resulting scrum.'"
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.

| Quote: fatbaztod100 "I think you are being really kind to Brian Mc and Leeds here Bear. IF Sam had caught the bomb or didn't let the 40/20 go it would have been a different game. However they did and we were left chasing the game this caused us not to play our natural game and Leeds made good of that. I said on another thread that the way we played Leeds should have put 50 points on us however with a bit more luck in attack (the Hughes knock on with about 10 minutes left a prime example) we could have won this match.'"
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)
