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!

Double post

I think you overestimate the importance of Lee Smith's celebration if you think that will be extra motivational somehow. Wigan will be right up for this game as its simply a big game against one of their major opponenents, and one they want to win to cement top place in the league.

The real question mark is how motivated Leeds are. Our form this season has been patchy to say the least, even with injuries as an excuse. I really think the squad is focused - for the time being at least - on the CC at the expense it appears of the league. Its not a great mindset TBH - and that's not how the Wigan side of the 80s did things, if anything they prepared for big cup games by playing hard in the lead up games. I can easily see a Wigan win next week.

Agreed

Are you still that bitter over a try celebration.

Agree with most of that.

Leeds know that 4th is the best they can't do - but they also know that Hull are pretty poor and as long as they win one game and the game at Hull (which they should easily) they should have 4th sewn up. This allows them to target the cup matches.

If Wigan throw absolutely everything at them in the first 20, I can see Leeds subconsciously taking the foot off the gas and not wanting to get into a torrid game the week before the semi final.

I very much doubt that, I can't see any rugby player, at any level, thinking "oh no they're getting rough, I'll back down and try to make the game easier" If Wigan go at them in the first twenty then I would fully expect Leeds to give exactly what they get, regardless of whether they have a semi final next week or not.

I wouldn't either, which is why I said "subconsciously".

I was just trying to make a point.

I still maintain theres not a chance in hell that Leeds will back down if we start ripping in.

Lee Smith might not even play. Webb is now back. Smith played left centre against Salford as Senior was rested. Peacock should be back, and Burrow might return also, but thats less certain..

I was wondering what Howard from the Halifax ads was doing these days.
