Bang out of order lad.

you know exactly what he was getting at.

Even for a Wire fan that's really low

not nearly as low as the wigan fan commenting about the ira bombings off warrington

Correct. That was possibly an all time low for RLFANS. Priestman85 hasn't been seen or heard of since I don't think, so assume he's gone for good (under that username anyway).

In the past I've rated Davies as a summariser, but, though he's entitled to his views, his attitude on Saturday was quite ridiculous. He seemed completely crestfallen that Wigan had won and made no effort to hide it. Very much like Kear last year.

I'd suggest that if some of these guys want to avoid losing money, they be more careful where they place their bets.

Balding was the instigator and orchestrator of the negativity. At one point she asked if this will long be remembered as the final that we stole from Leeds.

It was a real eye opener with regards to the presenters loyalty's.

Justin Morgan was sat with a little smile on his face though and was clearly enjoying listening to the others drip and moan.

Happy times

what do you want the presenters to say ? wigan were brilliant





which they wasn't
in the second half.leeds took the game to wigan and it nearly paid off. so stop moaning your team won

Yep, wigan didnt play to there best,leeds did and we still won....Good times

I am just rewatching the match and am convinced that charnleys arms were under that ball for ryan halls last try. Bloody Ganson didnt take all week to keep rewatching that one

Not brilliant. You're right. In fact in three cases walking wounded, but still good enough to restrict Leeds's amazing second-half fightback to a mere 8 points.

That'll do.

I thought that too

I said to my mate at the game I don't think he's got that on the ground. Still not sure having watched a few times. Think it was the wrong desicion by Ganson (he made up for it though

)

Correct, Charnley had his hand under the ball, so no grounding, Ganson took 1 look I think to not see it, but then again......

Two of our tries should have been pulled back, along with their two for the non grounding and the non playing of the ball.....but even with that the result remains the same

Noble even said " Leeds won the 2nd half "
HT Wigan 16 Leeds 10
FT Wigan 28 Leeds 18
Er how did Leeds win the 2nd half

Mcguire and Leeds got what they deserved, nothing, I have not forgot how they reacted at Headingley towards the Wigan fans at the final whistle after the cup game.
Very sweet this w/end.

Spot on

We are not moaning. We are just pointing out the moaing from the BBC presenters. They should have focussed their discussion on highlighting the good moments from both Wigan and Leeds. That sort of negative discussion does nothing for the sport of RL. Jonathan Davies was just a grumpy old man. Barry McDermott sets a better example. He always tries to highlight the good play even when it is Wigan.

My wife does not go to games these days. She used to before we had kids but she watched the final (had to turn the TV off close to the end because she could stand the tension :lolicon_wink.gif but you know what? She is obviously not into the game in a great way these days and unlike any of us not involved in the forums but said without any prompting from me "Why was that a try?" From the mouths of innocents comes the truth and that is the way I see her comment.

The pundits on BBC also said Leeds were Champions for the last 3 years...if I'm not mistaken LAST YEAR WIGAN BEAT ST HELENS IN THE FINAL... Leeds did not appear at Old Trafford. Plus we score 12 points in the second half and Leeds 8 so how where Leeds winners of the second half.
Wigan didn't play at their best but we still won.

Davies was at his best (or negative worst) on Saturday. He was bitter with his comments after the game; more than usual. All he does is go on about perceived errors, if you had no errors then no one would score in any sport not just RL.

All the negative reports from the commentatorts have bellitled the game it had seen one of the best tries scored at Wembley by Joel Tomkins if that had been in Rugby Union it would never have been off the news .The Leeds fightback and to a neutral would have been a good game.What should have been a spectacle game was degraded by the commentators picking up refs decisions which by the way happen in every match. Rugby Union never find faults (they give the game the utmost praises) to the extent of what these so called commentators did for the game on Saturday and the RL should take them to task for this. What should have been a the best advertisment for the game was downgraded by the commentators on world television by highlighting the faults and not the plus side of the game.

Sam Tomkins should have not used the V sign.

I still think there is a lot of bad blood between the 2 teams following the playoff game at the DW last season with McGuires injury, cheat labelling etc. Hence Leeds have raised their game each time they have played us this season and all 3 have been tough uncompromising encounters with a bit of needle in them. Nothing wrong with this its just rugby.

The fact Leeds only play well against Wigan demonstrates just what an awful coach they have.

Until Leeds start with their best 2 halfs and put Sinfield up at No13, they will continue to struggle and the frustration the players are showing, especially at the end may be due to everyone being able to see this except the man who picks the team. As soon as I saw Sinfield at Stand Off and Burrow on the bench, I knew the game was won. When Burrow did come on, things started to get a little "squeekie bottom"
