Well done leeds, played well all year and the comments from mcdermott on sky where very apt and respectful

Agreed.

Well done Leeds. We gave it 100% but in the end came up short.

Bollox

First half cost us. We were garbage.

Big decision to be made moving forward in my opinion on the future of Matty Smith.

Leeds won because they had two halfbacks in McGuire and Burrows ( please do not tell me that Burrows was hooker) who did an old fashioned halfbacks job on us and by that I mean being allowed to roam all across the width of the pitch.

Wigan on the other hand after a very bright start when they scored a superb try down the left, Leeds suddenly tightened up on Williams and Farrell and by doing this 80% of Wigan's attacking threat was snuffed out. Leeds knew that nowhere near the same threat would come from Wigan's right.

Finally I would just like to congratulate Jamie Peacock on what as been a great career.

Good Moral Victory That!!!!!!!!!!

I can't look past the blatant knock-on that was given as a try unfortunately.

The difference between the two teams.

His future is as the interchange hooker, Hampshire must come into the halves.

Do not hold your breath.

13 men this time and still couldn't get the job done against an old & knackered Leeds side - not good enough!

Leeds' defense was solid all night & we didn't (couldn't) make any impression in that first half. Much better in the 2nd, but (yet again) some diabolical kicking & a few brain-farts let us down. Leeds deserve the win, they've been the team to beat all year & we just fell short. Notwithstanding they'll be insuferable for the next 12 months. At least it weren't the cabbage munchers again.
Bowen was a monster & it's playing like that which'll make him missed. The younglings did well too. And couple of our so-called senior players might well be lucky to not have had a 10 minute rest.

Ah well, start it all again in February. Just the internationals to look forward to now.

Unbelievably arrogant statement.

I dunno, I expected Wigan to put us to the sword after Phil Clarke et al on Sky repeatedly assured us that the Leeds pack were gone... I think in the end, the tough run-in Leeds had meant that they were more battle-hardened than Wigan, which explains our early lead. We had just enough left in the tank to hold on after the Walters try.

I blame Nobby for jinxin it on the radio early on. He said more or less the same as the Sly mob. Although he also reckoned Giants & the Stainers were going to win through too. It is mushroom season after all.
