For the worlds greatest sport .

34 athletes going at it hammer and tongs for 80 mins , plenty of thrills and spills , a bit of needle , some great skills , tons of effort , and the result in doubt until the final hooter .

Sums up why our game is the best team sport in the world .

Congrats to Wigan on the victory tonight

Tonight proved to me that we can take this team to war. Tonight laid our marker down as title challengers.

Great team effort.

Thought Leeds and Wigan were below par. Are you Stevo on steroids?

Are you serious

Tough and physical game but quite scrappy and not too much talent IMHO.

Our kicking was woeful.

Our 6 and 7 were nowhere.

Why did we keep trying to go down the middle instead of getting the ball out wide. On one occasion near the end of the game, we had a two man overlap but choose instead to go inside.

Yes, and we did miss Green.

p.s. Great atmosphere created by our fan's before, during and after the game.

We kept going down the middle because Leeds rush defence forced us to. A few times when we tried to put the normal sweep move on, the ball got to Powell and his pass options were cut off by defenders who were up quick on the outside. The worry is, do we have a plan B that will combat this. If not then we will struggle in the big games. The better teams are fit enough to keep getting up quickly. We beat the poorer teams easily because the sweep move gets Tomkins and the outside backs in open space.

Speaking of outside backs, I was pleased to see Charnley outplay the best winger in the world.

That made me smile too...

Having watched it this morning, I think it was a great advert for Leeds - thanks to Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, who did nothing but discuss the Rhinos from start to finish. Appallingly one-sided.

I think we just shaded this win on points. It wasn’t the best we’ve played this term by a long way, but all credit must be given to Leeds for that, but having said that I did think we showed a lot of guts and spirit. Leeds got their tack ticks spot on, more or less forcing us into playing our game down the middle for much of the game. I think Leeds definitely wanted this one and came on with maximum effort. It felt more of a cup semi than just a two pointer. It will be interesting now to see their performance this coming Friday. Will they have the same mind-set, or will there be a mental backlash from our match?

It was a great game and defenses were on top. We were slightly off par in attack in the second half. We really missed Green but i think Powell played well considering hes a young lad and against a team like Leeds. He took some massive hits but he kept going and his defense was awesome. I think its a good sign for us that we didnt play that well in the second half but we still won the game. It shows us that we haven't peaked early like last year, so that is still to come and we still have a few key players to come back.
Very impressed with our forwards last night, Mossop was great, Lauaki was quality but Ben flower has improved so much from last year, thought he was our best prop last night. Immense.

I was actually very impressed with Powell. As has been stated the defences were on top and it was tough going with his options being cut off, but I thought he took the line on well. Looked very composed for a lad that hasn't started many games imo

I think Leeds really wanted it , as said they cut our wide options down, their line speed was very fast, Bailey is just an idiot , thanks for the penalties, but we toughed it out, now got to do it at the business end .
Also watched it again and it is true those 2 muppets are so biased towards Leeds

Between Leeds & Wigan today, 3 Aussies, 2 Kiwis, 1 Welsh, 27 English players, and 24 from the two academies!

=33 players
you misses one, or one of us cant add up
