What a performance

- deserved to be on a winning side. Even Gareth will have to admit he was on a different level to any other player on the field. Pity some of his SENIOR team mates weren't able to respond as positively to the challenge.



When you see the best from Australia you can see why we cannot compete - and Buderus is 5 years passed his best!! You also see what a fantastic contribution they bring to game.



Is there a better nine in SL - if there is he isn't playing at Bradford. McShane was also excellent tonight his kicking game will be a real asset to side, just shows what working with the best can do for you.

Made two poor errors at the start of the match, and was responsible for the penalty that gave Wigan the opportunity to tie the scores. In between it wasn't far from the perfect hooking performance, shame it about the two blots I mentioned.

Roby at Saints - he was superb once again last night and was MOM by a country mile.

Regarding Buderus I watched the recording of your match after I came back from ours and he thoroughly deserved the MOM thought he had an outstanding game last night. A game which incidently you should have won.

I thought he had a blinder, at one point towards the end of the first half it was as though the Wigan defencive line didn't have a clue how to handle him

He received the Coach's Man of the Match too. When he accepted the 'award' he mentioned that he purposely wanted to increase his dummy half runs.



Sublime performance.

outstanding performance hope he can produce more games like it. Not just his passing from the ruck, support play always seems to have the knack of being there at the right time and making the vital tackle.

I think the penalty was harsh but a blessing - Leeds line was shot and Wigan would have had a walk in for the win

That's what great players do - it shows the ability to read the game is as important as the ability to perfom as a player gets older - shame some older Leeds players don't have that ability

I imagine a certain critique will contain all of the following:



1 min - Knock On at the Play The Ball

4 min - Penalty for Offside

9 min - Terrible Pass aimed towards Bailey causing poor Ryan to concede a penalty

77 min - Penalty for Interference at the Play The Ball

79 min - Penalty for Interference at the Play The Ball



Apart from that he was OK.

Given the work he did I think that is pretty good, as I said the penalty in the 79th minute was a point saver? if he only made one poor pass in a game that he probably made 100 I think that is a pretty good going - not to p1ss on your bonfire in any way.

Knock yourself out. It's not my bonfire you're p[iissin[/ig on.

He was very good Sal and deserved his m.o.m but if we are critically assessing the whole teams and individual performances he deserves to have his mistakes highlighting just as everyone else does.
