Just back from a cracking game, once again football fans could learn a lot about about how "proper" sports fans celebrate their game. Thought Thaler had a terrible game, Wigan offside every play and as usual a team of head hunters, Leeds weren't alter boys but Wigan defo got the rub of the green due to him. Best team won on the day and to see the Wigan team traipsing past us  with a thoroughly miserable expression on the way to the tunnel was worth the admission alone. As a very interested  neutral was worth every penny

Best team lost against an experienced team who played the ref best,how Leeds 2nd try was allowed God only knows.Such a pity a great game was decided by a dodgy decision.

Sitting with a mixture of Wigan and Leeds Fans -  both agree nothing wrong with the try. Referee was stitched like a kipper but not by Leeds !!!

We were in the Wigan end had a great view clear knock on how it went to the screen and allowed big turning point but a great game end to end

Wigan were offside all game. Spear tackle,O loughlin constantly high tackling elbows etc so don't blame the ref. Great game played by 2 very evenly matched sides. Credit to rugby. Football wat h and learn!

was a great game nothing wrong with mcguires try having watched it a few times now the ball goes sideways which if you read the rule book is NOT a knock on. as stated aswell by Cummings last night.

im not a leeds fan either.
