God I Hate Wigan So Much!

But That Games Give Me Confidence For Leeds Next Week

Yes I agree Wigan were very good considering a few weeks ago they were supposed to be busted up and the fans were for getting rid of Brian Noble.

Leeds didn't have to play poorly, they never had the ball in a position of threat. They gave away something like eight penalties in thirty minutes, that must equate to nearly every time Wigan had the ball.

On the rare occasions in the second half that Wigan had to defend, they did so. Their attack was suumed up when they got to the Wigan line, got to the lat tackle, got a decentish kick in, then gave a penalty away for offside.

I'm struggling to recall such a stupid half of RL by a team.

PS

If Leeds give away as many penalties in ine half as they did last night, I will be hard pressed to ignore it.

What has happened to Leeds ? Why are they so ill disciplined. They've become comfortably the most penalised side in SL.

I can't fathom out why.

Frustration ?

Maybe the Leeds team spirit and winning mentallity that has been with them for years is slowly dwindling away, they have a few ageing players in their side who are not the force they once were so maybe they are not getting as many big games from them these days as they used to do, Keith Senior came up with a few errors last night and Jamie Peacock is not the same player that he was when he earned the tag of being the worlds best forward.

Things like Lee Smith announcing mid season that he is leaving won`t help matters as he`s been a key player for them in recent years, missing Brent Webb who is key to a lot of the good things that Leeds do won`t help either as he gives them the X factor, a lot of plays would normally involve him.

They looked like they were struggling for big plays last night when inside the Wigan 20 and Brent Webb quite often gives them that, if you remember Rob Burrow ran round in circles quite a few times looking for an option and none arrived, more often than not Brent Webb will be their on the end of a cut out pass or a short kick into the in-goal which normally results in quite a few tries for Leeds.

They are not dominating games like they used too, quite a few times this year they have had to come from behind to snatch late wins, as a player when you have been used to having things your own way for such a long time like Leeds have done then its going to affect you in quite a few ways when things don`t go according to plan and the script that you have been used too for a few years now.

take them blinkers off. i wish we had him.
