Leigh never looked like scoring up till that drop goal. Was a good defensive game, did not need to be a blow out score for either team

Wire strike first with GOB. GOB and Hughes were immense for me.

[quote="Cokey":344ggm8e]Wiggin never did. [/quote:344ggm8e] Not strictly true, they did look more likely. But yeah ofc they didn’t, where as Leigh’s end of sets when at the other end were much poorer in comparison.

Still thought golden boy French was gonna pinch it when Leigh got tired, so credit to them for keeping him quiet. Did anyone hear them mention how long it is since Wigan conceded? I don't think Dave Woods mentioned it enough!

It was an ok game for the start of a season. Can’t really look to deep into it, I did think the atmosphere was very flat at times for such a big crowd.

Really enjoyed that, play that game in round 5 and I’m sure there would be points, but enjoyed it considering it was a nil nil. I’d also (remake) the point that 1 point each for the draw would have been more than good enough and a fair end to the game. Keep the golden point for cup / play off (though I’m not sure Cokey will agree right now lol, congrats

Wigan's success recently has been largely based on defence, smothering the opposition out of the game and waiting for Field or French to come up with something. If not for them two they're pretty ordinary.

Apologies to the mods, and everyone else for my intrusion on your board last night, I just got too much over excited.

Do you get points for being more likely to score nowadays? I thought there were some interesting signs for the rest of the league. Just like in a few games last year, there was some shocking petulance when things didn't go their way and Keighran should be enjoying a few weeks on the sidelines. Despite being heralded as being the gamebreaker, Mago came on, got put on his twice and that was about the last we saw of him. Also thought Leigh dealt with Nsemba very comfortably.

I couldn't see any "degree of mitigation" for Keighran. It was a good old fashioned swinging arm to the head. When I remember how some players have received big bans for lifting a player (who is play acting) or mistiming a tackle and hitting a head with a shoulder ... then I think he should get a decent ban. He's a bit dangerous is Keighran & Mr Peet will not be pleased.

So that doesn’t really hold up your post. However if you’d have said Marshall instead, I couldn’t give you an argument.

Keighran got away with one about ten minutes before his binning (where Hughes ignored the PTB) he should be getting a ban. No great loss for Wigan as he’s very ordinary. No surprise to me that Leigh won, they looked very handy in the friendly. Top 4 side minimum.

Still don't understand how he can be banned if he's not amassed enough points!? Granted I still don't understand that system.

I thought Moore had a really good game last night.

[quote="matt_wire":2j1cd0lo]Hang on, are you saying you'd rather see teams constantly get away with all that, than be penalised?[/quote:2j1cd0lo] 6 points for a 1 game ban my reckoning is he will get minimum 3 points come Monday
