Did play doh head hemmings care to mention 1st will be playing 2nd good friday the game he so dearly wanted last week

Probably not as its not on Sky! Just like the Challenge Cup seemingly doesn't exist with them, our game on Friday won't until the next time time either of us are on Sky and the winners will be billed as "Grand Final elect" in March!

Actually I don't think KB had a particularly outstanding game last night.
Don't get me wrong he was still influential, but I think Wigan restricted his role somewhat with their tactics.
His kicking wasn't as good as I've seen etc.

Having said that, Hanbury more than stepped up to the mark.
Marsh had a good game but their other winger didn't particularly (can't remember his name).

Forwards were what struck me.
With basically the same pack as last year they really stood up to be counted.
Don't know quite why it should appear this year.

Full of admiration for Widnes.

I think Brown and the backs generally for Widnes looked nervous, until late in the game when they started coming back into it. So many fumbles near the line... Wigan looked exhausted in the final quarter though, and their kick pressure was just non-existent which was shocking given how important Widnes' kicking game is to them.

I've been very impressed with Widnes so far, but I'm hoping that our fitness levels and kick pressure tactics will be able to shut them down pretty well.

I've been impressed with them too, especially with ball in hand. Both sets of fans will no doubt go in to it thinking they could come away with the win.

I think we will throw much more at them through the middle than anyone else they have faced this year, Hill even by his standards has been outstanding and Sims has really stepped up (Is Westwood due back?) I missed the home game vs Cas, can't remember the last time I missed a game at the H&J. From the highlights I saw the offload game we had prior to 2014 seemed to be back with avengeance. Conversely they will test us on the flanks more than we have so far this year so Atkins & Evens will need to be up to the task.

Really looking forward to it, should be a good game.

So who do we want for this then.

Re: Non Wire, Sky games 2016 Season : Thu Mar 24, 2016 8:20 pm  

Cas look a different side this week.

Re: Non Wire, Sky games 2016 Season : Thu Mar 24, 2016 9:36 pm  

Disgraceful that last no try for Cas.

Lol at mcdermott blaming the ref for defeat.

Re: Non Wire, Sky games 2016 Season : Thu Mar 24, 2016 10:16 pm  

Mark my words.

The "dark arts of refereeing" will well and truly be in place now, after another Leeds defeat. There's no way on God's good earth, that the RFL will want Leeds away from the upper echelons of the table. I thought the reffing "performance" for the second half of their game v Hudds a few weeks back was DEBATABLE/PATHETIC to say the least.
Some "blind eyes turned" tonight, yet they still lost.

Don't expect Leeds to be near the bottom for too long.
If Widnes are the new Leicester, Leeds are definitely the new Chelsea (who've been getting away with some "questionable" decisions, in the last few weeks)

And Ablett in refs ear all night.
