With a better ref it would have been a far better contest, take those two scores away and we are 6-0 down and all to play for. As it was, Leeds are too good a team to play against when you haven't got the ball.
I thought we played reasonably well overall, our defence prioe to the two very well taken 40-20's was excellent. Good skill from Leeds got them in position rather than Wigans failings, and and resulted in them having field position to exploit any mistake or piece of luck - which is what good teams do.
The 2nd half with the same rub of the green we could have been within 6 points of them, so on the whole, although disapointing I thought the performance wasn't as bad as the scoreline.
I admire your outlook on life
However you forget to mention that Leeds started the game in rampant fashion and even if one of those scores had been chalked off, who's saying that in the next possesion Leeds wouldn't have scored again and then gone on to put 60 on you?
