What a pathetic thread when you have the likes of clarke and o'connor as signed up members of the wigan fan club drivelling on all the rime about wigan - EVEN WHENYOU ARE ON NOT SKY
The pass was forward and anyone who says it wasn't is deluded..'"
There's two Saints fans coming on here and complaining about forward passes ?
That's a bit rich from them, when they get their 'obligatory forward pass try' every game.

Well there is no actual psychological points system to refer to because "psychology" does not benefit from having its own objective scoring system, so one cannot hope to claim any real advantage based on psychology alone. There is simple no tangible accreditation on any form of league table (due mainly to the intransient nature of psychological point scoring). However, it must feel pretty good deep down inside to have the psychological advantage.

| Well a leeds side over revving in 6th with halibut giving everything to them in the first 20 (after that he was equally bad for both) couldn't beat Wigan side that just about shifted to 2nd for 10 minutes in the second half.

You dont get a psychological advantage over somebody unless you beat them
Leeds best two games this season have been against us but they havent won any of them, if thats an advantage maybe we should start trying to lose instead?

Tell me an instant where it isnt. You dont get anything for nearly beating somebody in any sport ive ever watched.

| Quote the hedonic calculator="the hedonic calculator"Alibert might not have been great, but in his defence he was equally not great for both sides.'"
This defence of a ref who clearly isn't up to the job has run its course for me. It's the excuse made for Alibert in most of the games he refs. He is just not good enough and it spoils the spectacle.
I think he either panics when faced with seasoned pros on both sides from top teams and loses control or he just can't keep up with game. It's probably both come to think of it. He missed an absolutely blatant knock on right in the middle of the field tonight form a player on his own i.e. it wasn't a difficult one to spot.
As to forward passes Leeds are better suited to American football at times  and have been for several seasons.

Saints were past masters at snatching victories from the jaws of defeat. I am sure that gave them the self belief not to throw the towel in.
What did the sides they beat in these circumstances gain from those games? Not a lot I'd guess.

You are Brian Noble, and I claim my £5. That's the sort of cack-handed philosophical nonsense he used to trot out to justify every near-miss we had.
We've been pretty poor against Leeds twice this season, and not been beaten in either game - yet Leeds have the advantage? OK....

| Quote the hedonic calculator="the hedonic calculator"Alibert might not have been great, but in his defence he was equally not great for both sides. Leeds certainly didn't gain any sort of advantage from Thierry's shortcomings, nor did the pies. It was a rather dry game and Wigan managed to scrape a win, but I suspect that Leeds have won the psychological battle.'"
How does that work? Leeds produce their best performance for months, whereas Wigan produce their worst performance probably since drawing at Cas, yet Wigan win the game. I don't think leeds can play much better than they did tonight, but we saw against Hudds last week how much better Wigan can be. How does this help Leeds pschologically? Straw-clutching is the term that springs to mind
