I think your all very silly to be wanting Wane's head after that match. The team was very well prepared the game was played at an incredible speed, unfotunatley it looks like the game was decided by yet another bent video ref decision so you cant blame the lads or the coach for that. Ok there were a couple of poor performances but there were far more positive performances. The lads played for the shirt and the badge last night and we cant ask for more than that. Gutted not to have won but il be back when we go again next year. :D

You show me where Josie said the anything about the game being fixed, as all I can find is her reply to you that there was in her opinion, a agenda.

As for myself, I have never said that the game was fixed, only agree with her comments about others blaming Wane etc in most of her posting.

Despite what you think, we only lost by two points and when you take into account that the Moon try was one of the worse decisions ever made by two, yes two, Video Referees, it begs the question, what the hell is going on in our game when we are seeing decisions like it week after week, especially in games where Leeds are losing or drawing.

It is not the first time that Leeds have won a game in controversial circumstances as Castleford well know about in a game a couple of seasons or so ago and what about the Magic game at Cardiff when Bradford were beaten by a last minute try by Tansley who was yards offside.

Very hard to suggest that a match is fixed by the RFL, but it makes you wonder at times about the thinking of match officials.

I think the time has come for whoever is coaching next year to seriously consider playing Sam Tomkins at half back.

That might free up space on the salary cap to sign a proper centre if Smith is moved on.

Unless those glaring weaknesses are addressed we could just as easily slide backwards next season rather than go forwards.

I think Shaun Wane has met Lenagan's minimum criterion for "success", i.e. making one of the major finals each year; so we shouldn't hold our breath about a change there. But realistically, I don't see real success in the long term without a new coach from Australia.

Did you say the same last season too?

Wane has been coach too long, time for a change.

Agreed.

The only thing I'd add however, is that we aren't the most popular club in the RFL and in split decisions that can often count against you. Maguires knock on could easily have been given in our favour and it wasn't. Manfredis tackle on Hall, Tomkins forward pas etc.
Even if you go back to the apology from the rfl for bad video refs decisions which cost us that you particular game, makes you suspect that we aren't quite playing on a level field.

True but I guess our players made more mistakes than the officials. Sometimes the mistakes even favoured us, others obviously not.
