i have every confidence in wigan at the moment ,forwards missing aside,the winning mentality of the whole squad is very pleasing.whatever the score on friday they can only try their very best.

Burke can kick goals!

EDIT - Make that 7 losses in 15 league games. (And with Wire away next week).

but they are still world champions as they enjoyed reminding us tonight!

world rugby must be f*cking dreadful if that's the case

On the evidence of tonight, they must be the worst defending champions for a good while. They've got a bit of thinking to do, and I hope that we all suspect a totally different Leeds will show on the 14th of July.

I don't want us to fall flat on our face then with the prospect of a return to Wembley as the prize.
