And they almost always win when the totalrl match poll says they will lose and lose when it says they will win.

I'm on a long flight and bored so have looked through the old posts and can confirm this has worked for 64% of Leeds games this season 

Betting against the predictions on here with the same stake every week would have generated a healthy return.

It's such a worry that this is hidden on Sky's sport tv guide.....all way at bottom after *****on. sky mix down under Viaplay and Sky racing 

Can't see anyone stumbling onto it

Lovely intervention from Clarke.

"I think Leeds should throw the ball around."

As the ball skids along the floor from a bad Leeds pass, and then is tossed into touch.

Newman giving it the big un to the Wigan fans to then have his try chalked off! You love to see it!

What an absolute bell he is. 

 

[Just Browny]

Fair enough decision, but I liked the period when we rewarded good defence and played on when the defender wasn't playing at the ball.

[The Blues Ox]

On one hand Leeds unlucky there because the Leeds defender knew nothing about the ball hitting him so I'm not sure that should have actually been classed as a knock on but on the other hand wether the Leeds player knows about it or not Newman was in an offside position so it was accidental offside and they ended up at the correct decision one way or another.

Yes fair point.

He clearly has some talent, but he puts a lot of energy into things that don't use that talent. His ego seems a bit too big for his talent.

Listen to those boos. Competing with KR!

Because a try was awarded despite a clear knock on and the ball not being grounded properly?

Video ref obviously found a view that contradicts your assertion. VR doesn't turn the on field ref decision over lightly.

That's the problem. If he did, we weren't shown it.

So just accept he did, he wouldn't overturn it if he didn't.

Leeds are not really up to it, this could turn ugly.

[Johnny Ringo]

Expected a closer game but it looks like a Wigan romp. Leeds are poor.

Going just as I expected, plenty of effort but we’re playing a team bang in form, with all their spine players whilst we have a full back whos played 4 SL games, a 19 year old Second rower at 6 and an 18 year old at 7

It was never going to go any other way

Yawn, yawn; broken record time.

I make no apologies for mentioning the Peet layonathon tactics, if you can't see it you must be blind.

He looked long enough to find something Padge. I will leave it at that.

It must be good to be able to play an 18 and 19 year old Chris, a luxury that is denied some.

[Harry Stottle]

C'mon Leeds games gone, forget the ball and get on with the game.

[Hopie]

Newman clearly has no respect for the referee, and is too dumb to stop mouthing off to him, even when he has given a decision in Leeds favour.

[hullste]

Funny how Phil Clarke called Saints cheats for deliberately conceding 6 again when defensive line is stretched but has totally ignored the same tactic from Wigan several times this afternoon

Coincidence?
