Hopefully on Wigan tv live. If not I’ll catch up when it’s uploaded afterwards.

Hopefully be on the fire stick

Strong squad named with just Miski and Havard missing (I’m guessing it’s because Miski got back late). Makin, Kerr and Hirst in the squad. No sign of Eseh and Chan. Eseh and Chan seem to be on the outer. Chan only played about 10 minutes last week.

[quote="MadDogg":1mwew10o]Hopefully no significant injury issue for Ethan Havard.[/quote:1mwew10o] He got injured in that last test against Samoa. I think I read he'll be fine for the start of the season but I guess they're just making sure and holding him back.

Good squad and will be a good run out for us Unluckily i need to take my daughter back to Leeds on Sunday, so good reason take the game in too

Any sign of this on Wigan TV or is it just the Our League App?

[quote="jonh":m51ldac9]Any sign of this on Wigan TV or is it just the Our League App?[/quote:m51ldac9] It's on super league plus for £10 annoyingly.

There's a link on WiganTV now. Looks like it could be on there.

Yep just gone on now and looks to be streaming on there so hopefully no need to get it on the App. Lack of promotion is a bit annoying as I’m betting some will have shelled out already to watch it.

[quote="jaws1":mhmohf07]I have shelled out for it nothing said beforehand still if Wigan TV crashes i can watch it on Superleague +[/quote:mhmohf07] Same here, got the 6.99 early bird as no mention of Wigan TV until about an hour before the kick off!

It’s early doors but one of Dupree or Byrne should be missing out for Hill. Weather is terrible and the ruck speed is so slow, Leeds have their hands in late on nearly every play the ball.

Wigan seem to have settled in to that. Leeds look decent. Conditions seem to be playing their part. Unlucky for that Sivo having to come off he’s looked decent so far. Hopefully we can see it out with not injuries . I’ll be interested if Connor can get through a game without a spat

We looked quite good in that half apart from the 2 early mistakes which they scored from. Weather having a big impact on the game. Couldn't believe how the wind got hold of the conversation attempt

Young lads are showing up well so far.

Good hit out. Exactly what you want from a pre season friendly. The young lads got lots of minutes against Leeds first team and stood up well. Sivo could be a big blow for Leeds. Didn't look good going off.

Hill again looked sharp. I think Eckersley will be a little disappointed not to put in a better showing and press Miski for a place. I didn't notice any injuries, so if that was the case, you're happy enough with how it's gone.

Hill and Mago looked good. Field and French looked off timing wise. Nsemba showed glimpses and so did Byrne and Dupree. Great try the second try was a really soft one to concede. All in all a good hit out and I’m sure we will be better for it going into the cup game then Cas. Leeds were very much like us in their approach to the game, just grind out the sets hunt the errors. Much improved pack on last year. Connor and Newman and their petulance will cost them a few quick play the balls as the refs are already wise to their moaning and antics as they mess about in the ruck.

We also had some kids on that second half but admittedly the rest of them coming on towards the last 15 minutes. For you I though Nsemba was very good along with Mago. Marshall probably the pick of your backs first half. For us I thought Holroyd when he came on and Oledzki ran hard. God knows why Sivo was trying to close down French for that kick that resulted in him going off. Doesn`t look good for him imo. As a Leeds fan I`m really pleased with that performance compared to the dross last year.

Your defence is far more robust and your line speed has definitely improved, something that needed to happen if you want to dine at the top table. The game was effectively over at halftime, I can only assume that your coach wanted to get more minutes into the legs of your senior players hence the reason why they played most of the game. Wigan on the other hand tend to give our senior professionals forty minutes, take the performance related information away and amend personal training plans.Timing of both teams was, not surprisingly, not great hence the reason for a dour match. After saying that the weather didn’t help. I think the takeaway is it was a physical game and, apart from Sivo, no serious looking injuries. Do you know what the problem was? Whatever, I wish him a speedy recovery.

I tipped Wigan to win the lot last year and they again will be the team to beat. I wouldn`t be surprised if Sivo has done his ACL which is a massive blow for us as he was just what we needed on the wing. Hope I`m wrong.

Good hit out, I expect Leeds to improve massively under a proper coach like Arthur. Result/performance wise we need to understand the Leeds have been in preseaon since November and a lot played on Boxing Day. 14 our of GF team only reported at Wigan in the first week of Jan. We’ll be much improved after the Tenerife camp next week. Happy for Ash whose a great player

Farrimond came on before half time so got slightly longer and Eckersley started the match. As I said, the young lads got good minutes against your first team which will have done them good. Anyway, hope Sivo is better than it looked at the match.
