You weren't around in Offiah's days then I take it?







Smith's (and the rest of the Leeds players) celebration were typical of what you would expect to see after what had just occurred on the field of play in a sudden death, knock-out Cup competition.



I imagine every sports team (including those from Wigan) would have reacted in a similar fashion in such circumstances.

I agree.

Was you 18th man in the dressing room?

Just joking.



Great to see Wane instantly putting them back down on the ground after nilling the side in 4th place in their own backyard.

Onwards and Upwards.

But it wasn't Wigan who did it, it was Leeds.



Therefore, it will be Wigan who will be using it as prep.

I also imagine every sports team would use such circumstances as motivation for future games if they were in Wigan's position. I've no doubt that Bluey would had we managed to pinch that CC game

Revenge for what?



the 2010 CC defeat?



Or the 2008 fe defeat?



Or the 2008 cc defeat?



or the 2007 FE tonking?



of the 2005 70-0?

For being Leeds...

Leeds once declared UTU on Bradford after a Challenge Cup Final defeat in 2000. That went particularly well as we lost the game 2-44 .... at Headingley.



Concentrate on not repeating your own disappointment at the final hooter/whistle rather than focussing on an understandable opposition reaction to the only try in a tight game. IIRC Coach Maguire's selections possible caused some of the fatigue that resulted in the Wigan players making a series of errors in the build up to the deciding score which Leeds did well to eventually capitalise on.

As usual I will probably miss most of this game due to spending a majority of the 80 minutes looking over my shoulder for incoming bog-brushes.

Doubt lee smith will play so Wigan might be getting flustered for nowt really.

Better than bottles coming from behind the Western terrace.
