Just a few hours ago, on the site we posted our master plan on how we can win engage Super League, but it looks like to do this we will have to hire a brand new coach. We were clearing slacking all the way through the first half with the first points of the game going to Wigan after Pat Richards kicked for goal after we were ruled to be offside. But, on eleven minutes, the first try of the game was in favour of the Rhinos; Two quick penalties had given the Rhinos a quick tap on the Wigan twenty metre line and Diskin moved the ball left, through the hands of Burrow to Keith Senior who powered over the line. Sinfield missed the goal attempt from the touchline, and how he will regret that now. On the 23rd minute, Bailey was placed on report for a high tackle, and from the following penalty a brilliant Wigan grubber kick resulted in a try by Fletcher. Richards added the extra 2 for Wigan. But the impressive attacking play from both Leeds and Wigan was marred by high shots as tempers flared, and Wigan's Fielden paid the price by being sin-binned just before half-time for interference at the tackle. Wigan, who led 8-4 at the break, shrugged off Stuart Fielden's sin-binning to force their way into a 16-4 lead after just 51 minutes. Just 2 minutes after a McGuire try was dissalowed by the video ref we hit back to make the score 18-16 thanks to superb tries from Rob Burrow and Gareth Ellis, both leedsrhinos.biz man of the match. Rob Burrow had a top class game after dummying a pass to Webb and then recieving the ball to hurtle over the line in style for his try. Ellis powered onto a inside pass from Kevin Sinfield to make the score 16-14, and the Leeds skipper kicked the conversion to level the scores at 16 a piece. Sinfield then kicked a penalty to edge us two points in front and we thought nothing else could go wronge. The Wigan fans couldn't belive their eyes after being on top throughout the game. Clinton Toopi dropped the ball over the tryline but things were still looking up for the Rhinos after Fielden knocked on with four minutes to go. Now this is where things start to go wronge. In his own 20 metre line, Keith Senior (originally my man of the match until this point) attempted a ridiculous off-load which went straight into touch. You dont need us to tell you what happened from then. Wigans resulting possession saw Bailey jumping over the line for Wigan.

That's it. My plan to win Super League seems to of blown away, but look on the brightside, we're joint top?

Tony Smith said this after the game...

"We are all in it together. We feel for Keith and he is probably feeling a bit bad at the moment but that's what being in a team is all about.

"We'll look out for him. We know that Keith has done a lot of good things for us.

"We got in a position to win the game without playing very well. I thought Wigan outplayed us. They were more energetic and deserved to win the game." - Too right!!
