Quote: Big Jim Slade "No team has scored 60 or more points past Leeds in the last 10 years, we've had 6 WCC's in that time including a couple against the salary cap cheating Melbourne Storm, so even ignoring the relative quality of teams like Warrington, Saints and Huddersfield (who I believe it's reasonable to say would all put up a similarly spirited display to Wigan) I'd say it's pretty delusional to suggest that Wigan are so far ahead of 'every other team in Super League'. You weren't even that far ahead of the rest last season. It's an arrogant thing to say and a delusional thing to believe as there is absolutely zero evidence to back it up.'"
Fair comment.
In my defence two things; firstly Leeds haven't played away in Australia. Whenever you have played in the WCC the conditions have been stacked in your favour. Secondly, whilst Wigan weren't that far ahead last season, we won the GF from a record deficit.
My point was about the fighting qualities of the team coming from behind. (It may be that Leeds wouldn't have shipped three tries in the first 20 mins - who knows?)
