End of the day wigan was 6 points clear and when both teams had full squads we was still at the top. Not going to look at injuries in which round as it makes no difference, teams are judge on the squads not first 17.'"

See you are just making assumptions now. How do you know that? Actually I don't make excuses, and neither does Shaun Wane - that makes two of us!!! There are probably more. I've always thought that Brian McDermott is pretty dignified in defeat (as FWIW so too is Kevin Sinfield)

I don't recall too many of yours missing Magic (round 16 after losing to Saints in round 15) through injury? '"
Not that i'm bored, waiting for a job to start or anything but it took me all of 2 minutes to find you saying the complete opposite last year, only a week after that match. I was looking for a moaning about injuries post but looks like you actually ARE that 1 Wigan fan so this'll have to do.
Quote ="Aboveusonlypie"
Wigan have been performing really well this season so far, but everyone knows that Leeds will be a different proposition come September/October and also Leeds have had a much tougher start to the season than Wigan. Easy points will be picked up over the next few weeks. The difference between the two teams is paper thin. We lost the play off qualifier last season by one point, lost at Leeds in March, also a close game and managed to win another close game last week with only Green missing from our best team, whilst Leeds had missed half of your pack, including this season's stand out prop.

Kind of backs up nicely what i've been trying to say, thanks for posting it.

Mate, when you've followed Leeds as long as I have, being gracious in defeat becomes second nature.

I suppose you could trawl through everyone's posts over time and come up with inconsistencies. I guess that is what makes us human after all. We all change our minds over time especially if we are given new information. I am glad that I was able to at least prove to you that not all Wiganers moan about injuries. I do try my best to be fair and I also obviously rate Leeds (as do the vast majority of Wigan fans) as I posted earlier on in this thread. Excuse me for being a bit thick - but what is your point actually?

So because your upset about a posters opinion you then make up stats from last year?
Majority of people know leeds are dangerous in the play off games but it doesn't change the fact you haven't won a challenge cup in god knows how long even even when your coach and players make a statement of intent on winning it and you failed in play offs last season. I full expect Leeds to reach finals and semi finals as a minimum doesn't mean your guaranteed to win them or the posters opinion are invalided, wigan might flop this year but i wouldn't go off on one and start lying about games last season.

Leeds were cruising & top of the league last year before all the injuries.
I'm not saying they'd have continued like that but despite the worst run of injuries i've ever seen at Leeds they still finished 3rd before running out of steam in the GF eliminator.'"
Yes I know. As I said they were nowhere and I'm predicting the same again.

I suppose it might help all concerned if you explained your thinking
Why do you think Leeds will finish nowhere? (last time I looked they finished 3rd one place above Wigan)
Tell us why the team that has won 6 out of the last 8 GFs or whatever it is don't deserve your respect. And who do you think WILL be our greatest rivals if not Leeds?
Everyone is entitled to an opinion - provided is is based on logic or fact. I'd be interested in your logic.

Anyone who thinks otherwise then go and put your balls in a vice and turn the handle clockwise.

| At this stage last season how many predicted Wigan for the double? Or Huddersfield for the LLS? The only ones who could've were people who mistook hope for realism at that time. Now 12 months on these things happened despite them being unlikely.
While pre season predictions are a good way to keep these boards filled during the off-season, it all means nothing. At best you guess correctly and look like a knowledgeable rugby league fan or you end up with egg on your face giving trolls the ammo to clutter these boards and social media with their nonsense.
Leeds may well do poorly, they may win the double (although I really hope not). I for one won't be blindly predicting their demise as many (including some Wigan fans) predicted our decline after all the players we lost before last season. It does make a good debate though tbf.

Sorry but I think it's too easy to just slag opponents off without any justification. I think people should try to account for or explain their opinions on a forum. Otherwise it just goes back to playground name calling. He might well be right, after all only one team wins Super League with the rest "nowhere". But really, what does that prove? Everyone is right occasionally (stopped clock, law of averages and all that) even me!

I haven't called anyone, yet you say I'm a complete fool. Neither have I slagged Leeds off.
I said this season they will be nowhere (like last season) which is the same as saying they won't win anything. The explanation for this is on page 3. You can accept it or reject it. No idea who will win stuff but I hope it's us.
Leeds are a great club with, in the main, good supporters.

I don't think I called you a fool. But if I did I apologise. I can't find your explanation on page 3 to accept or reject. Probably should have gone to spec savers!

Apology accepted.
If you read the third and fifth posts on page 3 all will be revealed. Please note my complete scientific explanation as to why I think Leeds will win nothing! To me the LLS counts so if they win that you can all throw wet sponges at me.
Please note: I would do a professional DaveO type job of replying but I don't know how to!

Well done to Leeds. Whilst last season's main competition in Hudds, Warrington and Wigan have dipped a little so far (although the season deciding games are still to be played) their ageing team has solidified and developed a winning formula.
