Whats the point in playing a substitue when you dont play him. Didnt even come on did Simon.

Playing a sub when he doesn't play, is that not a bit contradictory.





Your coach said he wanted more experience and didn't know where he could get him into the game.

Its only happened a few time for Leeds that I can remember.

Its been worral on more than one occassion

Still not convinced by Worrall yet.

Cant understand why he wasn't used, more to relieve some pressure on the forwards.

Forwards looked tired tonight, which lead to silly penalties given away by them and Wigan piggybacking their way to our line.

Still poor though

So why wasnt Worrell used?

WTF is going on with Bailey?

Isn't it the height of stupidity to leave a sub on the bench? It's a hard enough game when you are playing well, but when things are going badly why would you not use a sub.

Head scratching decision from the coach. Barmy, in fact.

Bailey got an injury on an away day with the Army!!!!!

David, do you have any idea why "Leeds greatest ever coach" would deem it a good idea to tackle Wigan with 16 men?

Same reason that in your opinion "Leeds' greatest ever coach" would pick a player in a CC final who wasn't fit - at the time it was in their opinion the right thing to do - in McClennan's defence in was just a regular game - in Smith's case it was one of the biggest games of the year!!! How do you explain your greatest coachs ever's decision

Your coaches words on the subject were....

So if he "couldn't work out how to get him on" why did he put him in the 17?

The more you look at this the more it just seems incompetent...

How is a player supposed to gain the missing experience if he doesn't play?

Only by Bluey.

Yet another barmy decision by Bluey. He is the one that needs to take 100% responsibility for last nights defeat. Stupid substitutions and then not using one in a fast tiring game.

Its a 17 man game FFS, what the hell goes through his head. I make that at least 4 times now in the last two seasons he has done that.

Would Worrall have made a difference? probably not, but at least he was fresh.

Last night was the third time McClennan has done it.

Well you did tire badly but his 20th minute(ish) substitutions had Leeds all over Wigan. Soon as we brought on Fielden and Feka and you brought on Lauitiiti and Luke Burgess the game went from pretty even (except for the first 3 minutes when Leeds could have two scores) to Leeds all over us punching holes for fun up the middle. We were lucky to come out of that spell only 4 points down - 14-16 points down would have been a better reflection. That lifted us for the second half.

But not to use a man is a weird one. I've seen it when a team is so injury desperate they put a really young kid on the bench but that isn't the case at Leeds?

I have been that sub and its not nice. I think he should have put him on if only to give a player in our "out on their feet" team a breather. I think he is a good tackler and he gets through plenty work so could not see the problem myself.

Pretty poor coaching/team selection to have a player in the 17 who doesnt get on.

Poor effort all round last night.

Is Peacock injured. He didn't appear to play for long last night
