LMAO.



Absolute bolleaux.



There is no way on this earth that you could have "seen" anything in the performance vs Leeds that has justified the win over Hudds.



You may have suspected, hoped, prayed, desired...........whatever. But unless you are "Mystic Jonh" there is no way that you could have "seen".



Great result, but we will have to step up again on the basis of todays (Warrington vs Leeds) game.





Compare Burrow to our halves.............hmm.



What is obvious is the fact that we managed to ramp it up a notch in terms of intensity.



That is promising.

Brett, my old love, re read the thread. I stated exactly why I thought a performance was coming, it's pretty much word for word what happened.



It has nothing to do with being "mystic", it has everything to do with knowing the game and noticing players condition.



If you cannot see these things when watching a game then do not get ratty when others can.



I also find it interesting that you compare a lad that plays most of the time at hooker with our halves, but that sums you up.



Clueless.

a boring sunday now just got interesting,

I have better things to do. The reasoning and thoughts on why I expected us to perform are in black and white on this thread.



Brett can have a pop, it's standard Brett, I expect nothing less.

Getting to the GF really is in our hands now. We have a week off and then a home tie against either Hull/Huddersfield - both of whom we have made look very ordinary in recent one-off games, or Leeds/Saints - who will have knocked 10 bells out of each other whilst our squad was watching them do just that on TV.



I think the only side that can stop us doing the double now is Warrington.

Jonh- I am not having a "pop" (though in fairness I can see why you would think this).



I just do not believe that anyone could have predicted our performance on Thursday based on the performance vs Leeds





Personally I believe we would have lost to any of the top 4 apart from Huddersfield. I think we will need to improve (which of course we can do) to beat Leeds or Warrington.



As for your comment re Burrow- he effectively plays halfback. You are showing yourself up as clueless if you think it's not appropriate to compare him to our halves.

Yet I did predict it and my reasons for it are highlighted in the thread. Go figure.



Burrow plays as a scooting hooker looking to capitalise on quick play the balls and lazy markers.



Our halves are more structured and controlling so I still fail to see where the comparison is appropriate. Far more relevant to compare him with Logan.

I was honestly expecting to come on here and see us all united in ridiculing Hudds fans' arrogance, praising Wane and the players, dreaming of going all the way, etc. I'm somewhat saddened to see this thread and others full of point scoring, gloating and grudging praise.



For me, I am delighted to see us raise our game when it mattered in the CC final and on Thursday. Leedsesque IMO and a credit to all involved.



Still think IL is wrong re Mossop, Sam and the whole transfer/contract scenario though, so I'm not in the clapping camp just yet!

Absolutely agree with that.

Huddersfield haven't been made to look that ordinary in the League this year.

Wire did it to them in the cup but that was at HJ.

Great game from the players and the back up from the coaching staff.

That first 30 mins was bloody tough!

In fairness to JonH, immediately after the Leeds game he posted on his FB his predictions and improvements he saw physically in the side and expected a massive improvement this week and it happened. I didnt see that performance coming but some people see things in the game and players that others dont. I think its a statment of fact that he predicted this as thats exactly what happened, it wasnt a case of hope it was a definitive statment of what he saw and what he felt would happen. It did.
