Ruddy'ell Keith! Good analysis but abit harsh I think! Also there's not chance you'll find me supporting Wigan over saints! I'd love to know your thoughts on the sam tomkins gesture?!

Danny did have a stinker but Webb also did, I understand your point on the Hoffman break but as full back that's the least we could have expected I think. He did little else other than continue to drop the ball and get nailed by leuluai.

Harsh? I watched the game in 3D yesterday and in HD today. Not once have I watched the game in blinkered SD... not once!



I like Wigan... I admire the way they play the game... their defence, their structure, their work ethic... the bedrock of proper Rugby League, the way it should be played. I hope they do the double.



On the Sam Tomkins gesture, not really interested. A storm in a teacup. I like Sam Tomkins. He's a breath of fresh air in a game chocka full of players devoid of personality, charm and individual expression.



I never stated Webb had a good game but there were Leeds players who played worse than him. If anyone ought to be singled out for a poor performance, it's McGuire followed by Bailey and Leuluai.

Fair enough!

Agree with all your comments apart from that. Stirrings in my deep subconcious are throwing up surpressed memories from the late 80's and early 90's. Now if Widnes or Hull suddenly start to top the table in the next couple of years and beat us in cup games then that could result in therapy of some sort. Until then I have to support anyone playing Wigan.

We shall have to disagree then.



Wigan's dominance and professionalism in the late 80's and early 90's had beneficial effects. It was an era when the national team actually competed with Australia on the international stage without completely embarrassing themselves. 1998 to 2004 for Great Britain was a golden era... comparatively speaking. The Wigan input was crucial. Wigan were spanking everyone... not just Leeds. I admired them back then and I'm starting to admire them again.



On the topic of Hull and Widnes? Not too fussed about Hull. Don't care. Insignificant in the grand scheme of bad memory recall. They had a short period of dominance in the league but not in the Cup (when it was more important). Never won at Wembley and didn't upset me too much apart from occasionally hammering Leeds in the Yorkshire Cup. Hull KR used to get to me more around that time.



Widnes OTOH? B@stards! Made numerous seasons a misery for me. Could quite easily dislike them again.

Standard stuff there Keith.



However entirely predictable. I am only suprised that it has taken you around 24 hours to get it out. How many times have you watched the game? Your pause button must be knackered (thats if it isnt already worn out) if you know what I mean.



Like someone mentioned earlier, you need to get out more.

The standard truth often hurts and Leeds errors cost them dearly yesterday.



Hacked off ts prefer to chelp, whine, moan and lay the blame elsewhere instead after a defeat.



I do get out sometimes. I went to the game yesterday. I'm guessing you didn't

Remarkable analysis by KS.

At 24-22 to Wigan it was heart stopping stuff knowing full well that the next try would win it.

A number of us Wigan fans thought that if Leeds had won it then Rob Burrow would have been MOM.

As KS states Leeds made too many errors. Webb's dropping of the bomb led to a Wigan try but Hodgson did the same at Wire from KO and Wigan scored then.

Leuluai's going in on Lima after such a good run by Peacock was stupid. No doubt JP would have told him what he thought when Wigan got the pen.

We always thought Leeds would go round Wigan on the outside and so it proved. Jones Bishop was the fastest man out there and Hall can be devastating. All Leeds tries were scored out wide, hence Sinny only kicked one goal.

Charnley's try was on the outside and Joel Tomkins broke the Leeds line on the outside before scoring under the posts. Both Lima tries were near the posts as was Tommy L's. Richards kicked four from five.

Blaming officials is lame. Leeds were always up against it after going 16-0 down but took advantage of Wigan getting busted up with injuries. Once Tommy L returned I always thought Wigan would win. If he'd played the 80 then he'd have won the MOM. When he was on the field the score was 28-4 to Wigan.

A close game and thrilling when at 24-22.

Leeds can still do it but have an ageing squad.

GH has a lot of work with the squad and the S Stand.

He needs to get both right if Leeds are to win things again in the near future.

Getting [url=http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/leeds-rhinos/leeds_rhinos_famous_south_stand_in_closure_threat_1_3722005[uBOTH[/u[/url right doesn't appear to be an option.



It's either one or the other.



The new stand wins!

Sorry can someone explain something here....I've never understood it but Keith/AP/whatever - he's from Leeds (or "loserville" as I beleive he called it pre-2004) isn't he(?) and was at some point a Leeds supporter (and maybe still sort of is) but at some point in his life decided he gets more of a kick outta winding people up on the internet than in supporting any particular team so much so that he'll now give a dull min by min analysis of errors made by Leeds...how does this happen...how can life become so empty and bitter





(The same also applies to the fact that he's British but prefers to slate GB/England at every available opportunity)

I think that hes been emotionally wounded br RL at some point and its had a lasting effect. So much so that he spends most of his life sat behind his PC producing the same old dull trolling attempts month after month year after year.



I think he types one handed as well.

Cant be d adding up a list of errors but I would guess you could do the same for Wigan and it would more or less equal the Leeds list.





Overall a good final close and tense till the end and for all that one good pass from BJB to Burrow and Leeds would have won in my book. In the end thats all that separated the 2 sides over the 80



We didnt get the crucial calls but hey thats the reality. The ref is a human being not a machine and he will make errors (just like the players) sometimes these go for you and some times against you. We have had our fair share of the 50/50 calls in the past so shouldnt moan too much when it goes the other way.



Wigan are a very good side atm well coached and very well structured. I watched the warm up drills closely and the difference was significant for me.



One was tight well organised and intense.



The other wasnt and it showed for the first 20 -30 minutes.
