In those circumstances most coaches would take the opportunity to get easy points on the board and knock a couple of minutes of the clock.

I would bet every last penny in my wallet that if Leeds were 12-2 down, a man down and were awarded a kickable penalty, they would run it, and go for the try!

That's why we're Champions

Thanks for the confidence we will be in the Northern rail as SL world champs you seemed to have some difficulty yourselves taking on a scratch side hay ho though Leeds are more holier than others these days.

Sorry guys unreserved apolgies JJB was way onside, without my glasses I got the numbers mixed up, I thought it was JJB but it was Burgess in any event both were onside so no complaints.

Not much difference in the two players

I love it when we beat Wakey – our boards get inundated with Wildcats making pisspoor excuses as to why the lost.

It would be so bad if they regularly beat us but they don’t so it’s shizer excuse after shizer excuse.

[quote="Longun"]I have every confidence Wakey will not be in SL in 2012. Unless they get a new ground sorted.

Sweet. Still a pity Ganson can't be hauled over the coals for it though.

Thats because it was THE STEVE GANSON SHOW on friday night. His futures bright, his futures ORANGE.

My overview:


Smith - Solid and classy, this lad is really developing. Brave effort. Faultless goal-kicking.
Donald - Came to life in the second half, acted as SO in attack in last 15m to get some work.
Ablett - Did the job.
Watkins - Unlucky knock.
Hall - Another lad who seems to get better with more game time.
Allen - Worked his balls off.
McGuire - Not the best. Struggled to lay a platform and his general kicking game was poor.
Leulaui - Hard as. His kinda game.
Diskin - Lively and pro-active. Won the hooking battle.
Peacock - Better than last week, awsome leg drives.
Kirke - My pick of the pack, he's starting to do serious damage to teams.
Ali - Always a threat, shame to see him not able to return.
JJB - Wears his heart on his sleeve, dug in.

Buderus - First run out in 6 months, nicely weighted pass for the game-breaker.
Burgess - Ran strong, stepped into the Scruton role well.
Gibson - Good to see him out there. Lovely conversion.
Bailey - Wound Wakie up, won a penalty also as well as leading with the elbow. First run out in months also.
