Havent you just contradicted yourself there? You say he should know better than to crow before the dawn and then you go on to say Im looking forward to taking your scalp when it means most. Make your mind up

And were only saying that we're happy with the players we have that play & cover that position in Phelps/Roberts & Richards with Goulding/Ainscough to cover Pat/Roberts if they move to FB.
If Wire need a New FB, but I'm sure you don't with Richie & Riley your 1st picks for that position, then feel free to speculate on signing him.
Wigan Don't atm and given the nature of the Salary cap and timing being everything when players become available it was always a non-starter for Wigan.

| Quote ="Jukesays"Don't disagree, but they're going to have to Win 14/15 of their last 19 to make Top 4 and in previous years Both Saints & Leeds Fans took great satisfaction in telling us being better throughout the season & finishing as High as possible gives you a better chance of Winning it.
As far as Some Leeds fans are concerned that doesn't now seem to matter! It's how you finish the season, which coincedentally was what some Wigan fans were saying in previous years & were laughed at by same said Leeds/Saints Fans!
It's amazing how people can spin things to suit their own cause, They can't have it both ways?
PS
I agree, given a similar amount of injuries etc at business end of season Leeds are a team you would want to avoid, Finishing as High as possible above them (And Saints) gives you a better chance to do that.'"
You can see why Leeds fans would be confident though no mater where they finish because of them winning 3 in a row but your right the higher the better plus the top 4 get a second go.

I realise that bud, its just for years we have been told by anyone and everyone, that we should promote from within, and as soon as we start doing that we are told we are arrogant for not wanting to sign lee smith, who in my opinion, isnt that good, he was shown up in the internationals last season, and is living off one great grand final appearance (Leroy Rivet had a good final and look where he ended up). Granted i dont see him everyweek, so he may be the next Inglis.
Personally I would rather us to promote one of the young lads in the centres when Carmont leaves.

Don't you know it's everyone other teams fans perogative to be Hypocritical when it suits but in the same breath slag Wigan Fans off and generalise about us even if 99% of us never said the things were being slageed off for i.e Wigan - New Champions!
As I said last week, Wire/Leeds/Saints fans seem to be bursting lots of blood vessels lately in their Rabied state trying to explain away why Wigan are at the Top of the league, Long may it continue!

For what it's worth, I think you probably will take our scalp at some point this season. Strange things do happen. Even when we were crap, we had no problem taking yours.
But, as I've said many times, Wigan are not the finished article yet. I doubt they'll finish top this year. If truth be told, they haven't played particularly well in recent weeks, and their form needs to improve sharply.
But I genuinely believe that you lot now have a lot of lost ground to catch up on. You may do it, but it's a big ask. That said, don't keep going on about having masses of injuries. When we were facing relegation we had a monumental injury list for most of the first half of the year - and nobody outside Wigan gave a hoot. It's an unforgiving game. Keep talking about inujries and people will respond by saying it's an excuse - which, in an era when RL is all about having large and flexible squads, it basically is.

I would seriously consider Pryce-Mathers.
Both clubs deserve first-class water-carriers, and these 2 IMO fit the bill nicely.

To be honest mate I think saints are quietly confident, wire well they just moan, that's what wire fans do best! and no Leeds fan is happy with the start we have made but it will soon be a middle if things don't improve but we arnt panicing. I'm sure all fans wish their team was top I know I do!

"I'm looking forward to taking your scalp when it means the most" is exactly what you said. When you say "means the most" you must mean either playoffs or grand final. So you are anticipating taking our scalp in the playoffs or grand final?
Who is the one crowing before the dawn again?

I'd have Ben Harrison (before you jump down my throat the lad is going to be a star, ask Saddened! and he's a Saints fan!)
Sinfield
Fitzgibbon

Ben Harrison is gonna be a star, but I think he's a second rower not a 13, similar with Fitzgibbon.
Sinfield is the opposite really, he's a half back playing at 13, doesn't have the tackling strength of O'Loughlin.
If lockers was fit he'd be Englands 13 every match, just he's always injured international wise.

| I'd take Sinfield anyday. He may not be a 'great tackler' like the likes of 'Ben Westwood or Lockers' but he makes a big difference to Leeds when he's in the team. Not to menshion he's the best Goal kicker in SL.
