Quote Zig="Zig"I think it was evident that Leeds has taken a positive step forward under Brad Arthur. Your defence is far more robust and your line speed has definitely improved, something that needed to happen if you want to dine at the top table. The game was effectively over at halftime, I can only assume that your coach wanted to get more minutes into the legs of your senior players hence the reason why they played most of the game. Wigan on the other hand tend to give our senior professionals forty minutes, take the performance related information away and amend personal training plans.Timing of both teams was, not surprisingly, not great hence the reason for a dour match. After saying that the weather didn’t help. I think the takeaway is it was a physical game and, apart from Sivo, no serious looking injuries. Do you know what the problem was? Whatever, I wish him a speedy recovery.'"
Yes really pleased how we looked to toughen up compared to the powder puff so called passive defence introduced by Smith.
I tipped Wigan to win the lot last year and they again will be the team to beat.
I wouldn`t be surprised if Sivo has done his ACL which is a massive blow for us as he was just what we needed on the wing.
Hope I`m wrong.
