So, why can't Leeds play like this more often? It's so good to see a bit of pace in the three quarters - great to see Jones-Bishop back, and makes the decision to leave Hardaker out last week look even more ridiculous!

The rugby gods will be after him again.



We've been average so far, but you guys are playing well. Wouldn't mind getting something off the ref for once though.

good first half, still a few too many mistakes and penalties offering the opposition good position but a definite improvement

need to start well this half and use our strengths

great to see too quality youngsters playing well on the wing!

Is Phil the editor of the half time highlights for Jon Wells - he picked out sinfield's "obstruction" on Richards (which IMHO was fine - sinfield is allowed to jump - it wasn't like McGuires one!) but didn't mention the Tomkins let off

It was very good from Kirke.

Ablett also once again looks like the best centre we have

It will be interesting to see how we go for "Metres Made" in this game, it looks to be way better than recently, but we have had some serious piggybacks which could be clouding my judgement.

It will be interesting to see how we cope if the penalties dry up, will we still have enough go forward to score more points?

He made some questionable (but not all definitely wrong) calls both ways. (Hoffman knock-on + Richards interference vs. Charnley knock-on under posts + Tomkins sin-binning). Neither team getting caned by the ref.

For Alibert, he's having a good game.

Well, he was.... oops

Nice to see McDumbnuts half time team talk went well again



Nice forward pass there that Alibert missed

Ok. Now they are...

There you go

That's shocking - was the touch judge still in the dressing room?

Awful, awful defence...McDermott team talk strikes again?

Yeah he was talking to the Leeds players........

Looks like the McDermott team talk has had its usual effect.

Looks like I may have been right to fear it

Self destruct..... again!

WTF does he do at half-time?

Need Buderus back on for Burrow or McGuire ASAP to sort out our defence.

Bit harsh on Hardacre that knock on...the wigan player appear to attempt the tackle before he had the ball

Need a bit of line speed in defence, it's currently zero...

Take McGuire off and put Burrow to 7 with Buderus coming on to get us rolling again.

Reads the programme?

It's a special gift really...

To give them their due, although our mistakes + the missed call on the forward pass haven't helped, Wigan have looked a damn sight better so far this half.

kicking game is poor
