I'm gutted. Yes we were on the end of some shocking decisions which did have a massive impact on the game however...... Give Wigan the 30 mins they had means maybe they just did shaded it. I'm really proud of the boys and I'm now optimistic for the future (shock horror!!)

i could have gone either way. good game.

There was some poor tackling that made the difference. Don't blame the ref. Leeds had their chance to win the game but blew it. Again that wasn't the ref's fault. Whilst it was a bit unnerving to see Leeds make a good comeback I was pleased that they answered the stupid media pundits who were disrespectful to them in the build-up. Leeds can still have a big say in the play-offs despite their league position.

I thought the ref had a stinker, but for both teams. Look at Abletts 'PTB' for your second try, should have been a pen to Wigan. You can always pick decisions out.

Leeds made a game of it, much better than the last 5 years of walkovers...

FWIW

I thought the reffing and other officiating was very poor, we also have double standardsand more of coverage coming in.

We have on sky the video refs ruling on decisions other than when tries are scored (eg how to re-start the game when clearly no try has been scored)

This is not a gripe but Wakefield v Cas a player was clearly in touch prior to a try.

Yesterday it was clear to see that Wigan got the put in proior to scoring a key game breaker the decision should have been picked up. The forward pass to Lima was nothing short of disgusting, I would rather the officials get robust on these dodgy forward and flat passes that have crept into the game, I am sure Steve doesnt help when he harps on about the momentum rule.

As for the addage that you win some you lose some this is true the game is based on decisions but yesterday the y missed some howlers and it may well have cost Leeds a win in a cup final.

Congrats to Wigan. You won.

Overall, I was delighted with our response to the occasion, and our lads can hold their heads high. Giving Wigan a 16 point start turned the hill into a mountain, but all credit to the Leeds players for making it a genuine contest.

I'm not too bothered about a couple of dodgy decisions either, some you get, some you don't, easily negated by not missing crucial tackles, or simply getting over your opponent's line more times than them!

I thought it was a tad ironic though, that in a season where we have had numerous tries knocked off for a forward pass, that the Rugby Gods should be looking elsewhere when Lima went over for his first try.

If we can keep that team spirit and attitude, then we'll go into the playoffs with some momentum, and this season may have a bit to go yet!

To be fair after the forward pass you got away wth against saints earlier on in the year Leeds fans are a bit rich bemoaning that try. Anyway, bjb try should have never been given! Maybe you should ask yourselves why you only managed to score once between 40 and 60 minutes when you chucked everything at our defence! Leeds need to invest in the youth get bjb in at full back and hardaker on the wing! Get sinfield back at loose and get Mcshane as second hooker off the bench!

Wigan just about shaded it and hence deserved to win. Yes some marginal refereeing decisions didn't go our way but that's the nature of the game and they even themselves out, just so happens this time it was against us in a big game. It's pretty shocking though when even opposition fans, as well as our own, can seem to see what needs changing in the team in terms of playing players in their natural positions, but the coach can't!

If you cant say anything constructive stick to your own board all you post is trolling comments the whole time

oh and wigan made a game of it too!your not as good as you think you are.

The reality is Wigan were the better side.

Every team scores numerous tries from forward passes in a season and every team moans about the ones that go against them.

For 25 minutes for the majority rhinos were the best side
