Agreed. Another example of looking to be outraged for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

How does Liam Marshall not get a look in on that squad? Makinson is nowhere near good enough these days to keep him out.

Whatever.

Just back from the match. Fair play to the huge numbers of KR fans that made the trip today. They put some of the "bigger" clubs to massive shame with that following today. As far as the game went, I expected KR to be better but Wigan blew them away before they had even touched the ball. 8 Minutes in before they got the ball in their hands. Nice to come back and see the usual male genitals about slowing the ruck down, blah, blah, blah. As I understand it Wigan are the least penalised team in the league this year but if you read this forum you would think they are giving 200 penalties away each game. Onwards. I think it will be a lot different next week.

Still bitter then?

Obviously, as the self proclaimed best team in the league, Leigh are going to win this easily.

That all sounds feasible but it can’t be true because Harry says it isn’t.

Dear God, are you ever going to grow up?

Humbles? Well there's certainly nothing humble about you lot is there? Right from the top down. You lost, accept it, move on, beat Hull KR if you are as good as you all think you are and then get another crack at Wigan. Or alternatively, just shut up whining, I can hear it from my house.

Or, as most other teams would attempt to do, stop moaning, go and beat HKR and then, most likely get another crack at the great Satan from the other side of the borough.

Of course he is. They obviously want everything in their favour as evidenced by the fact that an away game in the finals has completely blown their chances.

A team capable of making the GF should be able to win against any of the opponents whether at home or away. If Leigh are that dependant upon playing at home then they are clearly not capable of reaching, or winning, a GF.

Apology for what? For your self delusion? You lost, and as others have said, you would most likely have lost even if that score had been given. Wigan had nothing to prove against Leigh having already had you on toast twice already this season.

But it didn’t, did it? You are also assuming I care about the “Vast majority of observers”, which I don’t. I consider myself far too mature to keep banging on about supposed injustices against my team whereas you lot look more like children with every passing hour. Please carry on though, it’s hilarious.

Most likely they looked at the fact that Leigh had not been able to make a dent in Wigan in the two previous games this season and reasoned that the LSV was the safe decision. Or, as is more likely, they sent it there just to annoy Derek.

I can’t remember to be honest and I have no idea why I should care.

That will, of course, change if his team finish 6th next year.

I’m still not sure what you are getting at. The fact remains that Leigh lost 11 games and that has probably cost them a chance of a place in the GF far more than any individual decision in any particular game. Maybe Derek is just using his outburst as a smokescreen for the more obvious failings of his team on the pitch?

I'm not quite sure how you work that out, but if it makes you happy, well done.

Thde difference there being that Wigan are actually the best team in the competition, not just the best team in Derek's head.

He’s not the Messiah, he’s just a very naughty boy!!

No, it isn’t the reason and I find it sad that you aren’t capable of understanding that. Once again, you lost 11 games, that is the reason.

Deary me.

And you should brush up on reality. The best team in the league lost 11 matches this season. Winning any one of those would have put you further up the table. However, you find it easier to concentrate on one dubious decision in one match than to concentrate on your obvious failings in 11 others. Your glorious leader takes it a step further by calling into question the referees and people running the game whilst also forgetting that you lost 11 games this season. ”Childish” doesn’t even begin to describe it.
