Peacock calling Kylie Leuluai's close cousin a coward.

I'm sure that went down well.

Trouble in the Leeds camp!

Leeds are bricking themselves there is no question about that. Leeds dont like it when things are going against them what so ever. If Wigan keep there disipline on Saturday they will run up a cricket score against them and personally I will enjoy watching it!

Yes Very!! Just hope Silverwood and Co arent paying much attention and ref the game being played in front of them!!

Clearly he feels he has a chance of unsettling Wigan with his non-stop whingeing, and has sacrificed personal dignity for what he hopes will be a matchday gain.

I note with interest that the Yorkshire Evening Post's list of recent unsporting incidents fails to mention the Buderus spear tackle, the shaking of the posts, Ablett's near-homicidal challenge on Sam Tomkins, and the now commonplace gesticulating to the oppsition fans by the Leeds players. It's also content to see the McGuire foul dismissed as 'instinctive'.

This communal attempt to cast themselves as the injured party is fast becoming one of the most desperate and pathetic things I've ever seen in rugby league.

leeds need to find some dignity.

its nice to know we have them shook up already. we can just concentrate on the game and let them worry about comments made by the media.

This is a must win game for more reasons than 1 now! I could not take losing and watch the Leeds players celebrate infront of us yet again.

I think there is nothing wrong with what he has said in the past couple of days. The 'thinly veiled reference at wigan' doesnt sound like a 'thinly veiled' reference when you remember his team has actually his team has been accused of that.

reading the statement "Our players play within the rules. We never go out to intentionally use any tactics that can hurt another player and we'll continue to do that.

"We're proud of our history. We've won three Grand Finals in a row and another in 2004, all with integrity."

when prefaced with 'in a thinly veiled reference to Wigan' does seem a silly thing to say.

But as the answer to a question along the lines of 'some people say Leeds are a dirty side how do you defend that?' there would be nothing controversial in the answer "Our players play within the rules. We never go out to intentionally use any tactics that can hurt another player and we'll continue to do that.

"We're proud of our history. We've won three Grand Finals in a row and another in 2004, all with integrity."

Its a little bit of naughty journalism, The Sinfield quote is taken completely out of context which is funny because the article allows you to listen to the actual conversation and the inference of the article bears no relation to what Sinfield actually said.

Bluey has avoided talking about Wigan, he has specifically (and correctly) criticised Phil Clarke who was bang out of order, I would be disappointed if he didnt defend his players against idiots like Clarke.

Reasons to be rattled

Recently kicking our opponents out of the Challenge Cup.

Giving our opponents a 14 point start (at their midden) before winning the game.

Having a week off, to recuperate, whilst our opponents attempt to find some sort of form.

Play them a week later (at our midden) in front of a seriously vexed off crowd of home supporters.

Win the psychological mind games prior to kick off

Have only 4 Grand Final wins since 2004



Any thing I've missed?

Leeds certainly manage to do it "unintentionally" very often indeed.

You should send that into Egg head and dumbo because they sound like they are rattled

If Wigan were d they would have responded to the mind games but we arent so we will keep schtum until it matters.

It should be another victory for the Rhino's then shouldn't it?

All the pressure is on you guys then and thats fine with us. We'll go over to Headingley on Saturday as underdogs and just enjoy the day. If we get beat then we'll have to come back stronger next year(and we will do) in the knowledge that we're now a very good side who are getting under a few other teams skins.

Isn't Barry Mac employed by Leeds?

Ask your lot. They're the ones whining like puppies who've just had the snip.

So do saints.

0 sin binnings and 0 match bans v 4 sin binnings and 5 match bans in 2010 suggests otherwise.

Don't start confusing the poor dear by showing you know more about his/her club than they do.

Eloquently put.

Made me chuckle

it suggests quite the opposite doesnt it?

You think that McClennan and co are winning the mind games?

Obviously whining like little girls is considered a psychological masterstroke at Headingley.

The term 'Mind games' make me laugh firstly when it involves guys like Peacock and McClennan and then secondly when only one side is bothering saying anything!



Leeds are playing with themselves which sounds about right.

You beat me to it.

They really are pulling out all the tricks to try and get a response from us. I wonder if there's enough room in the dressing room to pin up all their little grievances?

trying to get his players fired up and think trying to take wigans mind off the actual game. just hope that it works as that the only way i see leeds having a chance tbh, but i said that last time.

Do you include his suggesting it was the Wigan players who injured McGuire in that statement? Unless by "avoided" you mean "whinged" and by "talking" you mean "like a girl" in which case I'd wholeheartedly agree.
