Stanton was easily the best Leigh player on the pitch today. Twice the ball was passed out wide to him and twice he went in at the corner.

We really should spread the ball round more and stop playing 1 man rugby through the middle.
Hartley looks to getting better but I thought Robbie Paul was very quiet all through the game. Ridyard brought a bit of variety to the passing when he came on and was unlucky with his chip and chase that was just a little over hit.
And why does everyone seem to rave on about Lealaui??? In 2 games I have seem him pass the the ball twice. He made little or no ground last week but that was against strong opposition. Today he was thrown around like a rag doll by Wig&ns U21 team and driven backwards several times.

But at least we won!!!

Stanton should of won MOM hands down i couldn't understand wot maden to get it? The trainer in the the yellow top won first class t1t for me

Who did get MOM? Some say Maden some say Hartley. In my view neither should have got it. I would like to see Martin Ridyard at 6 next sunday. I would like Maden to concentrate on his game instead of wanting to fight all the time. The unbiased ref also let a very high shot go from Armistead and Dave was offside at the play of the ball loads and never got pulled and he was stood at the side of Phil Bentham. Not impressed today with the game as a whole, apart from Wigans defence and quick play. One thing I have noticed is Mike Morrison looks to have quickend. Thanks to the morons bringing the flute song back to the terraces. You really do know how to drag a club through the gutter. When oh when will you grow up.

Well my view is we have had 2 friendlies we haven,t played a side that matters yet. Next week does and the Barrow game will be the test.

Re the flute song I am astonished that it winds people up as much as it does. The surprising thing is it is usually not the opposition fans who worry about it.

We could have done better today more locals attending would be nice.We have to realise that is is a long hard road. Us regulars have known that for a long time.

The players will know'well some of them' that they will have to do better.

I think they will. One less than impressive performance and some are down in the dumps. Well we'll see soon enough but whatever I doubt I will miss many games.

Highlite of the game was two owd age pensioners getting stuck into each other havin a scrap in the west stand the Leyther was totally nuts throwin several punches into the back of the other blokes yed then to make matters worse the crackpot tried to strangle him
mad or what !!!!!!!!! Both never left their seats it all happened while sitting down
the steward who was watchin just stood there dont think he could believe what was goin on
Millward should put them both in the forwards for next week to add a bit o fire n brimstone

Anyone here the attendance for today?

Well said Frank

3580 i think

that made made me laugh i missed that unfortunately but if that was on camera they should put it on youtube classic

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What made matters worse was the Leyther was sitting behind the other bloke
and after several punches and loads of verbals from both owd men the Leyther says thats it fu-- it im not buying a session ticket now bol-ocks to it, my mate Carl said to him dont worry mate you wont be see,in him again hes a Wigginer , that was it the owd Leyther went hypo
and snatched the bloke around the neck and started shakin him and tryin to put on a choker

i kid you not total nuts...

Hartley reminds me of Simon Svabic... does the basics well but will never ignite a game. It's early days though and too early to judge properly but I don't think he's playing as well as Ridyard.

Agree about the fowards we need Bibey back a.s.a.p. and need to get a good dual contract prop in for me. Morrison looked a better player 2 years ago when we first signed him, certainly had more go forward back then.

this time last season Wigan Babies played Whitehaven, and lost 30-0.
Has our 2009 season been extended ??!

Shocking.

We went to sleep last ten minutes of first half and let them back in... I think if we'd have gone in 10-0 up we'd have won by a bigger margin.

I thought Morty also had a good game

Did you see the game? He did not beat a man or break a tackle all day.

On a number of occasions he held on when we had numbers outside and did not compare favourably with Vievers.

When I hear that crap being sung I feel a sense of embarressment that a parent would feel if he witnessed his kids being disruptive and abusive up Leigh or the embarressment of the old bill turning up at your door telling you that your kids have been knicked for being part of a group that have just hospitalised one kid. Maybe the people who sing it probably wouldn't find that type of thing embarressing. It's about time the club came out and outlawed the ridiculous song. I see that we have stopped the jingle that used to come over the PA saying that RL is a familly sport and will not stand for abusive racist behaviour. I will now ask for the umpteenth time - other than the abusive line about wigan what has this song got in common with this club or our game? Correct absolutely nothing.

Who chose MoM today? He's an idiot.

The mad/woman group of people must have been

Well it is not like with like with respect.

Most parents will check their kids if they misbehave. Most fans swear it is a fact. Kids swear at school I know I did go to school.Bet you did too.Swear i mean. Regarding the one swear word I actually sing screw rather than F just so I,m politically correct.

What has the song got to do with RL? Not much. It is a bit of fun and hurts no-one.

I honestly think it is over reacting but hey we all have different opinions nothing wrong with that.

Oh and no I don,t swear all the time depends on the company I happen to be in. I hear women swear too but never heard my mother do it.. Violence and physical harm now that is something else.

I'd like to 100 % agree with this post

Its a larf innit....you hear worse on tv blah blah blah.......
Its cr@p and owd fashioned suited for the 70's and 80's........hopefully it will finally be gone soon. It was sung a few times today but I got impression its not as vocal and fewer joined in as used to be.

I swear like a trooper but I dont do it at the top of my voice on a sports terrace. I'm quite supprised you coudn't hear the sighs and tuts when it was being sung. It is embarressing and when the fools sing it, it is an embarressment to the club and the game.

I heard it being sung in the centurion pub as I was passing - no problem with that as it isn't inside the stadium which is supposed to be a family atmosphere and what RL is all about, tho as you say what reference it has to Leigh who knows.
