Should have seen the Wigan lot last year at the final, was like they owned the place and won the trophy 20 years running with how arrogant and cocky they were. Thought the Wire fans from the year before or the Saints fans from the past few Grand Finals were a better lot to mingle with and have a chat!

And maybe you should stop talking out of yyour backside. Where has any Wigan fan said Wigan let Leeds win? If they have though maybe you should let the RFL know, I am sure they would be interested in allegations of Wigan throwing matches.

On the way out one Wigan fan shook a Leeds fan's hand and said he hoped we win at Wembley. For a minute I sympathised with Wigan, realising they're not all bad.
Then immediately after I saw two guys trying to to start a fight with another group of Leeds fans, alongside the multitude of hand gestures from those already on coaches I started to feel quite smug again.

You have...


















Its fairly obvious to me from your comments that Leeds only just scraped home as winners because of a poor performance from the referee and the Wigan players, we didn't win so much as we were gifted the game, according to those quotes anyway.

So what happened to this bit ?

Give over, we're scum

imagine what they'll be like when they don't make old trafford again this year

That is not what you said though is it and you are comparing apples with oranges with what you are quoting. You said that whenever anyone beats Wigan its only because they let them win. You even said FACT to make it all the more definitive. Therefore where did I, or any other Wigan fan, say Wigan let Leeds win?

Old Rugby League Sayings

Play to the Whistle
You can only play whats in front of you

It was 39-28 so that makes it 11 points in my book - had you joined the mass exodus at the Wigan end before Sir Kev's late penalty goal ?

And I do hope Phil (who can possibly live with this Wigan team) Clarke was watching

Only one man out there gifted us three tries, and he wasn't wearing green!

sad really,yes there were a few dubious calls that went leeds way but no different from the last year and real champions just get on with it

Well done on a great win you were the only team that played to the whistle, Wigan were moaning all the time to the ref; bad losers always have been always will be, looking forward to seeing you win the cup.

I love the theory that Wigan didn't play well

Having just watched the game back I thought they played really well but we were just better on the day

First rule of the internet, if it says FACT at the end of the sentence then you're not even allowed to challenge it - FACT.

At least they had more flags. FACT!

We are not all clowns who cant give credit where it is due......



This was posted not long after the final whistle......

I wasn't going to chime in but I thought I'd have my say...

Wigan were beaten by the better side, Leeds didn't become Super League champs 4 times in 5 years by being mediocre and for all those people who wrote our side off as old, past it, over the hill etc have been shown tonight that when we turn on the engines we will beat anyone. And yes, a couple of decisions went in our favour tonight BUT a couple of decisions went in Wigans favour, lets not forget the CC final last year when the referee gave decisions in Wigans favour that helped them seal what should have been Leeds game... And in a way you are correct by saying Wigan was at 40% tonight, not because Wigan were poor but because Leeds defence kept Tomkins and Charnley at bay for 95% of the game - Wigan are nothing without those 2 players ripping holes in the opposition defence... As per, opposition fans wrote us off, some home fans wrote us off but in typical Leeds fashion we silenced the doubters....

Bring on the cup final, if anyone can win it - we can!

I thought Wigan played very well. Very dangerous with ball in hand, providing a constant threat. Stayed in the game throughout, scored five tries but it could have been ten without some heroic scramble defence from Leeds.

Leeds also played very well. It was a great game to watch.

Wigan did not play well. 60% completion rate won't win many games. That's not taking anything away from Leeds who were SUPERB. But Wigan did not play well.

All this guff about Wigan not playing well is utter crap.....in most sports you can only play as well as the opposition allows you to play, on the day Leeds were by far the better side and deserved their win and had it not been for a few wrong decisions taken the margin of victory would have been greater but that said fair play to Wigan for not giving in and putting the result in doubt until the last few minutes.

"Rat Boy" Tomkins is an excellent player but should stick to his own game instead of trying to run the game on behalf of the ref, sure Leeds had a couple of decisions which went our way but so did Wigan in the 2011 final, sometimes they go for you sometimes they don't but you move on, and as the previous post stated the winning margin was ELEVEN...get in.

completion rate on its own means jack sh*te, you need to look at the reasons why you didn't complete (and it wasn't just down to you "not playing well" as so many fans are claiming) and what you did and/or were allowed to do with the set you did complete.

oh and many super league games are won with completion rates around the 60% mark btw. just like many teams still lose with completion rates of 80/90%

2 Unforced errors in the opening 6 minutes that lead directly to tries. Those 2 were definitely down to us playing badly.
After that, yes, you forced a lot of mistakes and capitalised on them. We forced some errors and did jack all with the possession, Delaney was like a man possessed today, your MOM imo.


Also, credit to Jones Bishop for grounding his try, brilliant catch.

I've no idea what Wigan's completion rate ended as but as it was stated on the BBC to be 65% at half-time I'd be a little surprised if they only completed at 55% in the second.



Leeds weren't superb although they also played very well. They got a few rubs of the green and that probably proved to be the difference over the eighty minutes. Even after the drop goal Leeds were still hanging on by their fingertips at times with fifteen to go. Hardaker was called upon twice to make crucial tackles (bearing in mind his effort on Hock in the first half) he did well to bring down Hughes and did remarkably to prevent Tomkins going over. At the same time Leeds should have finished the Burrow break to seal the game. I thought the ball going right to Hardaker rather than it looping left to Hall would have done the trick but Burrow's delivery didn't match his break.

The ref was poor and Wigan had an off day but if had been Trinity playing them I would have taken that. A great game for the neutral and Leeds deserved the win.
