its nice to know we have them shook up already. we can just concentrate on the game and let them worry about comments made by the media.

This is a must win game for more reasons than 1 now! I could not take losing and watch the Leeds players celebrate infront of us yet again.

I think there is nothing wrong with what he has said in the past couple of days. The 'thinly veiled reference at wigan' doesnt sound like a 'thinly veiled' reference when you remember his team has actually his team has been accused of that.

reading the statement "Our players play within the rules. We never go out to intentionally use any tactics that can hurt another player and we'll continue to do that.

"We're proud of our history. We've won three Grand Finals in a row and another in 2004, all with integrity."

when prefaced with 'in a thinly veiled reference to Wigan' does seem a silly thing to say.

But as the answer to a question along the lines of 'some people say Leeds are a dirty side how do you defend that?' there would be nothing controversial in the answer "Our players play within the rules. We never go out to intentionally use any tactics that can hurt another player and we'll continue to do that.

"We're proud of our history. We've won three Grand Finals in a row and another in 2004, all with integrity."

Its a little bit of naughty journalism, The Sinfield quote is taken completely out of context which is funny because the article allows you to listen to the actual conversation and the inference of the article bears no relation to what Sinfield actually said.

Bluey has avoided talking about Wigan, he has specifically (and correctly) criticised Phil Clarke who was bang out of order, I would be disappointed if he didnt defend his players against idiots like Clarke.

Reasons to be rattled

Recently kicking our opponents out of the Challenge Cup.

Giving our opponents a 14 point start (at their midden) before winning the game.

Having a week off, to recuperate, whilst our opponents attempt to find some sort of form.

Play them a week later (at our midden) in front of a seriously vexed off crowd of home supporters.

Win the psychological mind games prior to kick off

Have only 4 Grand Final wins since 2004



Any thing I've missed?

Leeds certainly manage to do it "unintentionally" very often indeed.

Isn't Barry Mac employed by Leeds?

So do saints.

0 sin binnings and 0 match bans v 4 sin binnings and 5 match bans in 2010 suggests otherwise.

Don't start confusing the poor dear by showing you know more about his/her club than they do.

Eloquently put.

Made me chuckle

it suggests quite the opposite doesnt it?

You think that McClennan and co are winning the mind games?
