Good post Ste. I can't help myself from being drawn towards our halfbacks. I really hope they can step up. I feel that if Ellis would have played last night, we win that game. Anyway ,on to next week and see what it brings.

You should have won that game. You were easily the better team.

Yes we should have won. We just wasn't smart enough.

That try that you bombed was the turning point!

Correct

Good point but, we had enough time in the game to not lose it.

I agree, with Ellis & a couple of better decisions we win.
I fear for us at 6 & 7 if Ellis is unavailable or out of form & only Wallace, Mellor & maybe Brierley are left. A top end SL or NRL half who stays fit would make a massive difference to this squad, I wouldn't fear relegation if we had a marquee half running the show !

Absolutely spot on my friend.

You took a top team close, and you only need 11th. Good luck....

Sorry but that Wigan pack is nowhere near good enough IMO. They're missing plenty of class in the backline but up front they lack serious punch.
No doubting Wigan's production line has been outstanding over the years but from what I've seen some of this generation of kids are massive overhyped.

Leigh played well just suffered from a couple of lapses of concentration where they were punished.

Leigh, Wakey and HKR the teams favoured to fight for relegation all showed really positive signs.

I would rather two points than positive signs though.

Exactly this.

Don’t get the mentality of “should be proud”, 2 points is what we play for and if at the end of the year we’re bottom of the pile. We’ll have nothing to be proud about.

Leigh and Wakey played against 2 sides who had loads missing and both Wigan and Leeds were poor , both Leigh and Wakey had good leads and were pegged back . To be honest i mistakingly thought Wakey may go ok this year but watching that i fear for them , take Johnstone out and they have little left apart from 2 decent centres . As for Leigh too many journeymen

Leigh had 6/7 missing too,or have you not bothered following this thread?

It's difficult when you've only got one eye.

Oh eye see.

I'd disagree with the KR assessment. They piggy-backed off a load of cr@p decisions from Child in the 2nd half. Before that they were totally outplayed.

Fantastic to see the number of London Academy trained players in the Broncos cup squad.
Fantastic to see the number of French players in the Catalans side who have emerged through their reserves - which included the MoM.

10 of the 17 players today came through the London academy which is promising.

I see that you have been once again blinded by the media output.
I suppose that EVERY Leeds player really is a superstar though, so, it's an easy mistake to make.

The thing is both Leigh and Wakefield had as many players out as Leeds and Wigan who were just as important to they're sides as were the players of the clubs your defending, I can see why you are defending your club in an effort to hide your embarrassment at been for most part of the game second best to 2 teams full of journeymen and apart from Johnstone a team with very little to offer, it's a good job both Leigh and Wakey were deprived of full squads to pick from or your embarrassment might have been deeper, and you probably would not be on here bigging your side up had they lost, you got lucky this time, maybe not next week

After watching the Superleague show, I've come to the conclusion Luke Gale is a very naughty boy.

Did anyone else pick up what he said regarding the young lad playing in the centre.

"I said to him afterwards in the shower, That's as hard as it gets"

I think his script writer must be the one who wrote Captain Pugwash

and our teams was at full strength

Wakey, Leigh and hkr were all slightly unlucky to come away with nowt. At the same time they all missed an opportunity. Won't know til the season ends how important those misses are, if at all
