BTW, speaking of Rogues Gallery I thought you might enjoy this pearl of wisdom he left on the Saints forum. It made me chuckle.

It's sooooooooooooo unfair

I think Saints will win.

If any of you still have Fridays game on sky+ or dvd or tape watch it again.

Leeds first try, came first from a fortunate 40:20 (the ball took a wicked bounce to the touchline, then Hall loses the ball in the tackle but fortunately it went back, then the pass from Sinfield is very debatable as if it was forward.

Their second try was down to the inexperience of young Ainscough (hopefuly he'll learn)

The third try was never a try, Kirke passes the ball forward and it crosses the 20 metre line, hits the ground before Donald picks it up before passing it on to Burrow who scored.

The referee can't go to the video ref for the forward pass but if the ball goes forward and hits the floor then it's a knock on, which the video ref can give.

Another of the Leeds tries came when Hock lost the ball, except he didn't it was stolen.

Early in the second half Wigan had two tries disallowed, the first one quite rightly for offside, but the second one the Leeds player made the wrong decision and took O'Loughlin who wasn't even moving.

Then Leeds got the benefit of the doubt try when the referee was stood no more that two metres from the players with a clear view. (I don't know if it was or wasn't a try but the ref was in the best position to make the decision)

Saints will not give Leeds the same amount of ball that Wigan did, and they will not get that many favourable decisions away from home.

Saints by 8 points.

Stupid boy.

Me must sign someone from the NRL. How dare you suggest giving this lad a taste of 1st team action?

Reminds me of the day Arthur Bunting claimed Leeds didn't score a point in their 15 point to 7 win over Hull.

Exactly whats the point in using young players? Sign experienced Aussies who will give quick success! Take wigan and Warrington for example look how well they are doing by signing overated Aussies! :roll:

Because not all young players will make the grade or are ready for week in week out 1st grade competition at any given point and that is why most teams go for a mix between experience and youth rather than all one or all the other.

Why does the current Leeds squad contain Buderus, Lauitiiti, Leuluai, Donald, Webb and Eastwood when all those positions could be filled with 18 year olds?

The latest is: he speaks to Brian McClennan everyday while the appeal could take four months to hear so Eastwood is likely to take up a one year deal in Aus and Leeds will perhaps try again with him for 2010.

Sounds like the worst of all worlds to me.
