Run very close by a very young Wigan side

Got a win with a mediocre performance against a club in turmoil

Things need to improve quite a bit if we are going to compete and finish in the top half of the division.

Basil's got his work cut out on what we have shown so far, granted we have a few missing, but its hardly been encouraging has it?

Current verdict - Benefit of the doubt for now.

Playing any team in those conditions with a poor ref and without a front row would be difficult.
I am encouraged, and feel that with a front row putting the opposition on the back foot we will do well.
Our fitness and enthusiasm are first class, we move the ball well left to right, something we havent done for a few years.
Roll on the day we can offer Nash, Bibey, Hill and Meekin in the 17.

Great to see a Leigh coach actually on the touchline giving out instructions during a game.Call me old fashioned but much prefer this than the coach being in the stand relaying mesages to water carriers etc.

On the team I'm not too worried as the defence looks better organised and we do look like we have some moves in us.Need the props back though and the injury jinx just goes on from one season to another,but that could be said by many RL teams at present, bigger strong lads hitting each other at pace will result in injuries.

Whats the betting Basil returns to the stand once Rowls is 'back', for thats where he used to be.

Mini Me sat on the bottom row could see whats been going wrong at Leigh over last few seasons, no need to sit up in the stand to see what needed changing.

Thats possibly why AT employed a new coach?



Ill bet Basil will sit in the stands and use radio, coaches these days like a higher perspective on a game.
