where's the Wigan ratings? or did they all get 0?

The yep never or rarely does the ratings for the opposition you'll have to buy league weekly/express for those

I feel sorry for Kirke he was having a blinder in that game until his injury.

Pretty Spot on for me. I did think once again that Gibson looked the better of the two centres, although I suspect Watkins getting the same as Gibson is because he looked more dangerous.

Certainly Donald would have been the lowest mark from a Leeds perspective, and thats what they gave.

Good call he's one of the few who don't get enough credit imo.
He runs hard and tackles well and is imo a definate in the 1st 17 when everyone is fit.

TBF i did wonder as to why Leeds were signing him at first, i mean he was a big guy but lacked a little something. He got his head down and worked his ass off and he has not only become an integral part of the squad but when fit he really can break through those tough defences.

Plus i bet he is a lot cheaper than a few other big name props in the league and IMHO does a lot more

I'll have a look in tonoights Wigan Observer and let you know what they think/said. Probably Wigan shaded out in 44 point thriller..........

Does anyone know what happened to Ali? He seemed to go off holding his knee again

He came into the Long Bar on crutches, would imagine he'll be out for a couple of weeks at least.

Is that when he wasn't been wragged about by the Wigan defence.

No I took it as when he was wragging about the Wigan attackers that ran at him. Inparticular a certain second row who often made a mistake because of it.

Yes, nice flappy arm ball steal he got away with.

What all three?



He was actually our top tackling centre last week. He also missed no tackles. Made no errors.

Top tackling centre eh, let's declare tomorrow a bank holiday.



This is the problem with match stats they can hide a player being wragged about by stronger opponents.

Or OPINIONS can differ wildly to stats?

Can't agree about Gibson he looked very vulnerable defensively he was all over the shop - although playing alongside Donald would not have helped

Kirke is awesome and goes from strength to strength

My Thoughts Exactly As I Mentioned In Another Thread...

Nice to see Ablett get a good rating. He cops for a bit of stick, but put him in the Second Row and I think he does a fine job. Got to feel sorry for him sometimes being pushed into the centres so often.

Both the Wigan tries came down our right hand side including the two disallowed ones - so not sure what Watkins did to deserve Herr Disa's comments?

Did DISA say anything negative about Watkins? Did not DISA say he looked more dangerous?

I only commented on the marks in the YEP based on the fact that Watkins missed 3 tackles and made 3 handling errors. Gibson by contrast missed 0 tackles and made 0 handling errors. Therefore the comment about Watkins been more dangerous to back up them getting the same marks.

Which neither was the fault of gibson!

Who supplied those stats?

I only ask because I've just updated my spreadsheet with the Opta stats found [url=http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics_player.php?hs1=2009&hp1=3111&hs2=2009&hp2=1836&stat=tries&season=2009here[/url.

They were on the radio after the game on Friday whilst commenting on him learning in the role. Although pretty confident I saw the 3 handling errors, maybe even 4.

Out of interest what are your stats? I would think more accurate. Although if using that site, like you have said on other thread, maybe not.
