Sat 9th Sept: SL: Leeds Rhinos v Wigan Warriors KO 14:45 (Sky)

[Expatknight]

I can honestly say I have never seen such a dire performance by a Leeds team at home, and when I say team I mean that in the loosest possible way because they are certainly not playing like a team!

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

So you concede Saints were deliberately conceding 6 agains?

I am just glad I aren’t a Leeds fan who has spent their hard earned money to watch this, they look like they have never seen each other before let alone trained, and these are full time professionals. Can’t see Rohan Smith being at Headingley next season.

Think Wellens has stated in the past that any side would concede a 6 again and back their defence instead of conceding a try. It is the rule that is the issue but all sides have manipulated it however Clarke only called out Saints yet Wigan have employed the same tactic on at least 3 occasions this afternoon. Clarke is commentating but totally ignored it for his beloved cherry and whites 

[Futtocks]

I think we might just squeak this.

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

The 17 might not be the first choice 17 but they could put the effort in and do their best, it happens sometimes.

It doesn't appear they have today mind, I'm sure it's the refs fault though ( not a dig at you personally btw) 

[JonNgog]

Leeds have turned into Hull. Just completely given up.

[Johnny Ringo]

Stadium was less than half full with 10 mins to go. That's what the fans think of it 

[bobbruce]

No way was that a lack of effort from Leeds they put everything in but just aren’t good enough. Modern day RL is a tough game you can hang on being dominated for a bit but eventually it will find you out. 

[meast]

50-0 at home?

Not even Wakefield are that bad, that's brilliant

[Tommygilf]

This is Gary sending out an email territory.

[Ragingbull]

Season on the line and get done 50 nill at home!

What a great afternoons viewing!

[Nate90]

Outstanding team performance by Wigan. Leeds on the other hand lacked ball handling skills and discipline.

We put 58 on you guys at home, how bad must you be

Yeah might have to put a dictionary definition up next to the word defend to help them.

That was awful pal. I get that you can be bad and RL is often a momentum game, but to get beat like that at home is dreadful.

54-0 wasnt it? Don't be making it look better than it was

Highlight of Leeds' season is beating Huddersfield, that'll do me

[LeytherRob]

Leeds really do look a right mess. Looks like the entire club is just going through the motions at the moment.

[meast]

Wonder if Leeds fans would welcome McDermott or Agar back?

We beat Wigan Catalans and Saints aswell, don’t flatter yourself

[Hull Kingston Bronco]

I don't know many coaches who can survive a 50 point to nil tonking at home like this, certainly not after having had a year with the side. This will be interesting.
