Quote: jools "I'd rather play Wigan than Leeds kings of playoff rugby, they have strike players who could do us damage and capitalise on our mistakes and have players who are capable of płaying off the cuff-we've beat Leeds because mcdummy has insisted on playing burrow at 9! we have struggled with teams who play like that such as hobson at kr, Gaskell when he was at half back at Salford, rangi gave us a scare a couple of weeks ago, briers at wire. Structured teams we defend well against as we play a very structured defence - so suits us down to the ground!'"
Please DON'T think this an excuse, because Hudds have been playing well all season, the table shows this to be a fact. Now i know you have long term injury, but the player has been absent all season, so he can't really be factored in. We were without our first choice 1, 7, and 13. These are facts, and all would agree that these are key positions. One of these is arguably the most talented player of his generation, another who has been touted as a possible MOS, our club captain, and a vital link twixt forwards and backs. Whether these players playing would have made a difference to the result is pure conjecture, but before you get too confident, take it into account. And yes you did beat us early in the season, but these things happen at the start of a season....
Just food for thought, i'm not wishing to burst your "Happy place balloon".
