The history of the game is littered with deeds of bravery. Way back when, if you don't already know about it, check up on Alan Prescotts deeds as GB captain on tour down under



It's part why it is TGG!

Alan Prescott. Wally Lewis.



We should have respect for everyone who is brave enough to cross the white line at any level, but the sheer bloody minded dedication that some people who play this game show is frankly incredible.



JJB is one seriously tough hombre, but very humble with it.

No-one should doubt the bravery of the vast majority of professional RL players but playing when unfit to do so can put additional pressure on team-mates and be counter-productive.



Fortunately Leeds had the good sense to have Clarkson primed to get on once Jones-Buchanan was spent.



Unfortunately Leeds have a coach that sent Leuluai back out instead, it appears preferring to leave fresh legs on the bench for when the result is no longer in the balance.

Tough as old boots but a poor call, one of manyon Friday to play him.



In all honesty it hasn't been a great season for JJB, inconsistent and poor in terms of discipline, I doubt he himself has been impressed with it.

Mcdermott's use of the interchange bench defies logic.



An innovative pioneer, who's ideas transcend anything us mere mortals can comprehend?



Or a bumbling baffoon?

.....or even a bambling buffoon

I was relieved when only one (JJB) of our obvious crock 2 (Delaney) played.



JJB shouldn't have played, wasn't at the races and dropped a couple of vital balls.



Clarkson should have started at 'loose' and be given a tackling mission for 25 minutes. Would have been much more productive.



Coupled with a one wheeled Watkins.....we were never going to have enough in the tank late on. So to leave Sutcliffe and Clarkson on the bench for so long, instead of letting them contribute to the team effort earlier, was yet another puzzle.



Probably been said far too much, but 'one game too far this year'. I hope the season review highlights some obvious errors.



As for Wigan, full credit. Won the arm wrestle and their halves moved the ball better at the business end of the pitch.

McDermott continues to baffle. I have previously excused his leaving subs on the bench until late as being some sort of tactic to either introduce fresh legs in the critical last 20. However, it doesn't work when some of your players can't walk. Bringing them on once the game is almost lost has no logic

Mac on JJB:



“He should not have been on the field – and a few more. He has got a ligament that’s hanging on by a thread, but he wanted to play.”



Well guess what Mac you should have made that call !

Do you have a link for that? (not that I don't believe you)



That's a very worrying thing to read and does McDermott no favors
