Just announced that 'Paul Deacon is taking up a coach role'.

Did you ever see her choking on live TV? Instead of reaching for a glass of water and saying 'excuse me' then giving a hearty cough she continued on, face getting redder...

i am not a big sinfield fan, but i thought he was a real leader today for the leeds team. he was totally switched on and was at the centre of all the good things leeds did. a lot of the stuff he did wil prob go un-noticed. but he did lead them well today.



as mentioned above, ironic that leeds lost to a forward pass!! we feel like that most weeks.

Just got back had a great day one of the best finals I have seen in a long time.Burrows was outstanding and turned the game back towards Leeds,who had Wigan rocking but were never able to get the score they needed. Think in the end the best team won but not a lot in it.Hope they are jiggered for Friday night just to round off a cracking week.

sorry but its happened enough times for them let them have a taste of their own

Don't get me wrong - I hate Leeds as much as the next man, but when it comes to the CC final, I'd rather see it won by good rugby than by incompetent refereeing.

The second Leeds try was put down after 3 forward passes, tit for tat IMHO, and well done to the goons, loved every minute of it.

Wigan deserved the win despite the forward pass for Lima's second which for me was the only contentious decision. Burrow hit the deck to shepherd the ball out he made contact with the ball making a play at it which then hit Charnely who in my opinion did not make a play at it.



Abblett did not play the ball correctly in the momentum swinging tackle that changed the game for Leeds.



Swings and roundabouts.



Not a classic final but fairly exciting the completion rates highlight the average quality of the game.



The Tomkins try was one of the classics Cup final tries.



Still sadly feel Wire will take the Championship home with them, especially if Wigan continue to give McIllorum so much game time.

Billy Whino is not his usual noisy self today, wonder why that is?

at least the refs are becoming consistent - what a farce... but leeds lost

Agree totally Jonh althugh has i have posted on here elsewhere, even if the ball to Lima was slightly forward (i didn't think so) why don't people point to both Abllet's and Bailey's pathetic attempt at tackling him.

Told yer!
