You weren't around in Offiah's days then I take it?



Smith's (and the rest of the Leeds players) celebration were typical of what you would expect to see after what had just occurred on the field of play in a sudden death, knock-out Cup competition.

I imagine every sports team (including those from Wigan) would have reacted in a similar fashion in such circumstances.

I agree.

Was you 18th man in the dressing room?

Just joking.

Great to see Wane instantly putting them back down on the ground after nilling the side in 4th place in their own backyard.

Onwards and Upwards.

But it wasn't Wigan who did it, it was Leeds.

Therefore, it will be Wigan who will be using it as prep.

I also imagine every sports team would use such circumstances as motivation for future games if they were in Wigan's position. I've no doubt that Bluey would had we managed to pinch that CC game

Revenge for what?

the 2010 CC defeat?

Or the 2008 fe defeat?

Or the 2008 cc defeat?

or the 2007 FE tonking?

of the 2005 70-0?

For being Leeds...

Leeds once declared UTU on Bradford after a Challenge Cup Final defeat in 2000. That went particularly well as we lost the game 2-44 .... at Headingley.

Concentrate on not repeating your own disappointment at the final hooter/whistle rather than focussing on an understandable opposition reaction to the only try in a tight game. IIRC Coach Maguire's selections possible caused some of the fatigue that resulted in the Wigan players making a series of errors in the build up to the deciding score which Leeds did well to eventually capitalise on.

As usual I will probably miss most of this game due to spending a majority of the 80 minutes looking over my shoulder for incoming bog-brushes.

Doubt lee smith will play so Wigan might be getting flustered for nowt really.

Better than bottles coming from behind the Western terrace.

For the one the current, much better team remember. Lee Smith.

If you stopped talking sh[ii[/ite so much you wouldn't need to.

but it is only 2 points at the end of the day crunch. knocking you out of the cup with the last play of the game was so sweet. Had a good chuckle at a few Wigan fans crying on the way out of hq! Your real revenge will be knocking us out of the cup, play offs or doing us in a gf.

you are gonna have to wait for a biggy to hurt us like we hurt you. Let's be honest that looks sooner rather than later at the moment.

All that matters to us at this moment is winning next weekend's game. That's the pro mentality we've managed to introduce, and which has served us so well, this year.

Don't take it personally. It could be anyone, but we need to win - and on this occasion memories of Lee Smith being a dikhead should help to motivate us.

As for the big one. You're right, this isn't it. But you won't be able to avoid meeting us in a final forever.

I agree totally! Ditto. I look forward to us pi$$ing all over your bonfire again when it matters the most, we might get another chance this season! It makes for great banter! the play offs are gonna be as tense as ever. Bring it on that's what I say.

If you could get to a final it would help!

If I was Shaun Wane I would get that picture of Lee Smith from the press then get large copies of it and plaster it all round the dressing room wall on Friday.

When was the last time you made a final?

2004. you make it sound like its been decades.

only 6 years ey?



It's just banter pal! It's just banter!

bravo!
