From a neutral view : Sat Mar 07, 2009 9:52 pm  

Tonight put a smile on my face, some of the rugby took me back to the easter period last year when Leeds blew Bradford and Hull away. Although you were against a very poor team, part of the reason they were poor was because Wigan were outstanding.

Riddell - Comments on here seemed to have been a little negative over the last couple of weeks on here. Came out tonight and was excellent

Tomkins - Superb, great talent. I was shouting GO ON when he put the grubber kick through picked it up and gave it to Leulaui. It would have been in contention for try of the season.

Leuluai - The more I see him the more I think he's a hooker, played excellently from dummy half tonight.

Hock - Some of the offloads, the quick hands was just amazing. If he puts his head to it he can be one of the best 2nd rowers in the UK.

Bailey - Has improved your right hand side defence. Not the best going forward but does his job.

Agree with your summary. Hopefully we can keep this up and if we do take this form into next week, I think it'll be an outstanding match.

I also agree, but Feka, Carmont and Fielden also are due mentions.

TBH the whole team performed, 1-17 were fantastic.

Everyone knew we had that ability, the trouble was no-one believed the team could play at those levels shown tonight.

I'm glad to see Noble sticking to his word and picking players on form, and it's already providing dividends. It's clear everyone picked thier game up to avoid being dropped - therefore Noble must have really enforced his stance.

For the first time in a long time we have players actually fighting for thier first team shirt. No longer is it that just because you have a first team starting number ie. Tim Smith that he is automatically picked.

I'll be there! Missing Leeds for it, but it's a quarter final and we haven't beem this far since 2002, been to the derbies and the Villa games so why stop now.

Very credible post Bailey hasnt been mentioned too much along with Amos Roberts, Shaun Ainscough and Joel Tomkins but they were all just so solid.. Besta luck to your Team(s) today mate
