I came to visit here to see what your opinions were . Didn't even finish the first page .. Is the standard start to a post after a loss 'I don't usually bag the ref but ......' .. or something along those lines ?



It was a great game to watch . One thing I would suggest though is that the people that sing we hate the Leeds scum check the teamsheet and find out where some of their heroes were born and bred . It can't be much fun for a player when the supporters of the team you are playing for are shouting that they hate the residents of your home town.

And I don't suppose it's much fun representing your own country and having your own home fans booing you either like Sam Tomkins has to put up with at Headingley. Still it takes all sorts eh?

Not saying we will but certainly more confident that we'll win the title after that game than before it.

Agreed having watched the game back again. The Leeds tries came from 50/50 calls and the odd bounce of the ball, although I do still think they deserved to win. We have yet to put in an 80 minutes performance this year, I can't help but think there is a great team somewhere in there. We're just letting ourselves down at times with silly penalites and naive attacking play. O'Loughlin's penalty 1 minute before half time being a prime example! The next 3 games are winnable and that should make us considerable favourites for 2nd IMO.

I really hope this Millwall fiasco doesn't come back to bite us !

Good point. I believe our season's success depends on getting a home tie in the semis. It seemed particularly reckless, not to say stupid, to jeopardise that by playing a 'home' game at the home of football hooliganism. Winning Super League is a bigger 'marketing' opportunity for the club than any nonsense in South London. Let's hope Catalans have declared their season over by then.

If I remember correctly it was not the Leeds fans who were booing. It was another group of supporters in the Southstand that Wigan fans assumed were Leeds fans.

Having said that as far as Leeds fans are concerned they are most likely booing him after the 2 finger salute he gave them at Wembley.

But back on topic it will be a great final if both Leeds and Wigan make it.

I still have grave concerns that the loss of Aiton will prove costly.

Happy to believe you about the booing. If only it were true. The game he was booed at Headingley was England versus the Exiles in June 2011. A full two months before the Challenge Cup Final.



Which might help explain to you the two fingered salute. I was at both games and that is my recollection. Of course I may be wrong. It has been known.

The boo-meisters got aerated by ST's period of holding down, before (I assume) he got told to pack it in. Or at least not to make it so blindingly obvious. The V-flick was in response to the abuse (mainly from Whinos) he'd been getting all season.



(I fully expect it to resume next year)

V-flicks at fans (whatever the provocation) is something we don't want to see from any player, and the RFL should sanction it accordingly, whether from Sam T or anyone else.



Likewise, booing England players is disgraceful. But shouldn't be illegal.

You and me both mate.

I agree with you that if playing for England no matter what club they play for the English crowd should get behind the english players.

Although McGuire had his fair share of boos when playing for GB.

At Wembley? I remember that, it was the 50,000 London fans booing him.
