TBF to the Leeds players, they might be shocked because they might've expected to turn up and play 17 men, turns out they're playing 17 apes.

did you know wigan had a few young lads playing today? dont think sky team have mentioned it yet.

not much said on the fact we too have watkins,briscoe,burrow,jjb and aiton out today.

we look like we dont fancy it today and wigan treating it like cup final.

Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish. Leeds circa 2013 have turned up who don't look like scoring unless the Wigan players fall over.

Such a dirty scummy team

purely attitude in my opinion.leeds expected to show up and stuff wigan here and wanes borderline rough arm tactics in the first half and wigans intensity has been too much for us.

no biggy really.game means nowt on grand scheme of the season but there is a lesson to be learned from it.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Baileys always been like that

all your lads in the first half,cant blame bailey this time for backing up his mates coming under assault.

mickey mac,horrible little man.

Too bad he came under assault himself and got embarrassed.

really?

we may still come back and win here in ya cup final!

Good of you to bring your first-teamers for an U20s cup final.

good win for you but means little really.

you still had a lot of your key men playing in the spine so lets not pretend otherwise.only o'loughlin as a key man was missing imo.

all that was proved here was that wane is an excellent man manager and motivational coach.

To be fair most of it was all handbags don't think MM was too bad. The only one who might be in trouble for me is Bateman. Not got too much sympathy as bailey didn't run in to assist peacock he just ran for Bateman. The bit that for me was bad was the Bateman gouging for the eyes of bailey. But he does knock around home wood so what do yo exspect

Leeds were in a completley lose lose situation.

Win, whether easy or close, it was only a weakened wigan team it means nothing.

Lose, and it's the greatest win ever for Wane, players are dancing round and hugging each other like they've won the double all over again, the wigan fans are in raptures.

I would rather get easily beaten by a full strength wigan team than lose to a weakened wigan.

But yes, well done to wigan. The worst injury crisis since the second world war, 50 first teamers out, with OAP's from the local working mens being drafted in.

can somebody explain to me exactly what McIlorum did dirty in that match? He went to put a big hit on Peacock and he's arm came of the shoulder and hit his head. Hardly sending off offence.

The game was a carbon copy of last years MM. Leeds looking flat and error prone, wigan fresher and more dangerous. Stupid try before halftime proves the difference, leeds have winning try chalked off by the video ref.

We all know how last year turned out.

Don't be so ridiculously stupid. He went straight for the head, and hit the head, no where near his shoulder.

But that was all he did to be fair, that was wrong.

Don't think he did anything that bad. Was a high shot, running out with aggression didn't do it any favours with the officials but for me wasn't too bad. As I say erlier, have little sympathy as bailey just went in to look for Bateman but my initial reaction from the footage Bateman was gouging at the eyes on the ground. For me in that little fracas bailey and Bateman were the worst

Mclorum biggest cheap shot merchant in the league

I didn't see much wrong from McIlorum.

There was a little flurry of foul tackles by wigan around the 30 minute mark with Gil Dudson the main culprit. Leeds at that point frustrated by wigan's defence kept taking exception to the challenges, and as well know, one in all in.

For some reason fans think something ver serious has happened when players all rush in, but it was standard foul tackles you see from every team in alot of games througout the season, but leeds reacted rather than accepting the penalty and getting on with it.

Not sure about gouging, pretty bold accusation to make.

I think Crosby and Dudson may get bans and rightly so.

McIlorum's tackle wasn't anywhere near as bad as Peacock's later in the second half.

Bateman an ran straight in and hit bailey from behind for once Bailey was hard done to

Wigan deserved the win on the balance of play. Out-enthused Leeds who underperformed for the first 60 and offered nothing much down the right without Watkins and Briscoe there.

That said, Leeds should have stolen it as am nowhere near convinced Moon knocked on for the late try.

Thaler dealt with the biff ok, but Dudson was a clear sinbin before that and Crosby really really lucky not to get sent off for the tip tackle.

What didn't help mcclorum was that the ref just 15 seconds before had told him to calm his side down, he's obviously not got much in the brain department

MM was a high shot, but don't think it was that bad to get a yellow IMO.
Re gouging just my initial reaction just as they are separating up on the ground Bateman has one hand ragging round baileys face. Don't think he will have been moping bhis brow. If I am wrong fair enough will watch it back at some point just my initial thought.

Good win for Wigan. We were poor for the vast majority but had plenty enough ball to win the game, but our execution was extremely off. Missed Watkins big time, but can't complain when they had a load out.

Moon and hall by far our best tonight imo
