He may walk before the season is finished

RHJ you misunderstood my post. If you analyse both games. Yes, the score differed but in the cold light of day we were well beaten in both matches. Last season, leeds bombed plenty of tries, we defended heroically especially Calderwood but we hardly thretened and for long periods of the second half we could not get out of our own half.

I bleed Cherry and White but I do not wear glasses. When we were good and this may sound arrogant I knew if we turned up and played anywhere near our best we would win. The bigger the match the more I was sure. That is IMO how you measure whether you are the best team in any competition. I will not say how I view Wigan 2009.

People need to relax. RHJ you posted wearing your Mr Angry Platform Boots. Take them off.

But do you wear a truss ?

How can you say we didnt? We had just destroyed Catalan in France whilst Leeds had looked poor against Saints. There was no reason we could not of beaten Leeds.

Jeez,some people are beaten before a game is started. I really hope the players dont think like you guys otherwise we might as well give up now!

Because it's always going to be the one game to far imo. Our performance on the night proved it, we were against the ropes at most points during that game and only survived not having a much larger score line by the skin of our teeth, some good defending and a dubious VR call against Peacock.

When the playoffs come round you can always hope & believe that we can take that next step but when you look at it with hindsight you can see in the past two semi’s we just didn’t have anything left in the tank.

Don’t forget also it was a must win game for Leeds and there top players will bring there best performances 2. This doesn’t always happen in the weekly rounds and is a massive factor

Buy a dictionary !!

By the way, agree with you re-Noble, I believe the players are not happy with some of the tactics, especially the defence.

I do not think Noble will ever walk, he seems too single minded. He is a survivor and very good at playing the game in my opinion regards survival, i do not think it was a coincidence the Noble to Les Cats story came out at the time it did last year, almost forcing IL's hand to offer him an extension.

I think his short term and maybe long term career will be ruined if he walks from Wigan with us playing so poorly for the last 2 years, and for that reason i think he will battle to the bitter end in the hope he turns it round.

Shame he cannot employ such intelligent tactics on the field.
