Hhhhmmm, I think it looks like wigan have/will throw this game, Leigh to win !

Leigh looking like no mugs.

Jason Robinson's lad up against Ellery Hanley's lad on the wing. Talk about big boots to fill!

Vital two tries for Wigan just now, great step by Jake Bibby. Hardcore done them no favours with the boot though!

Would prefer Leigh to struggle this year to hopefully take some pressure of us but nice to see them playing some good rugby early on.

I take nothing away from leigh, good luck to them, however, my original comments are based on previous seasons that wigan have done the " weakened team " for Lancashire " sides, however, I still take Leigh to win !

I've got Sts Wigan And Trinity in an acca.
I didn't think Wigan would be the one to let me down

........ And he's back in the game.

Wigan were lucky, it was fitness in the end that lost it for Leigh ?

Leigh really have lost 2 pts there with the players wigan had out and the start they had they should of won that game

Leigh the better side a bit of fitness and naivety cost them, right now I would rather play Wigan than Leigh, hope I’m right but I think Wigan will struggle this season, fingers

Agree BLM.
They could have took a few 1 pointers but didn't.
Phil Clarke called it right when he said that they'd need more than an 18 point lead to win......
Wigan looked bad tonight.
tbh, I'm glad we're playing them next week and not in round 6......

100%

For me Blake Wallace’s kicking game didn’t help Leigh’s cause ,nearly every ball he kicked went straight to hand ,wonder if that lions Maine of a hair style was getting in his line of sight .Enjoyed both games and thought for their first outings had plenty of quality on show .

The two tries conceded in the last 10 mins of the first half were the game breaker.
No question that Wigan were some distance from full strength but, credit to Leigh, who showed they will be no easybeats.

Great game for round one though, really enjoyed it.

Not sure that I go along with "the best performance of any promoted side, ever", which was said numerous times in commentary and I didnt like the stat that Leeds have THE best return in round 1 fixtures in SL - lets hope we can put a dent in that one.

Bear in mind Leigh were also half a dozen starting 17 missing (not the same quality of Wigan’s admittedly) we made a good fist of it - looked knackered after 30 mins but though we competed defensively very well

Perform like that week in week out and get some players back and reckon we have some wins in us - feel more positive after that

Very week Wigan side should imagine a lot of the first team will be back. next Thursday

Regardless of who Wigan have to come back in they are very weak at Prop.

Burgess was supposed to resolve the issue but that obviously didn’t work out.

Once again it was the young kids in Partington and Byrne who had to step up and take the game to Leigh.

Sidlow dismantled them on his own in his first spell.

If the big men for Trinity are firing I can see no reason why they couldn’t dominate that pack and go a long way to laying a platform for a win.

wigans big guns back against us.......it will be a cricket score if we defend like Saturday .

Which big guns? And Leuiluia will cop a ban for that dangerous cannonball tackle that injured the Leigh player more than likely.

I don't envisage a cricket score but I really do worry about our leaky defence. It's been going on far too long now and unless we cut out conceding soft tries we don't stand a chance. Not unless CC thinks we're gonna outscore the opposition every game anyway. A rock solid defence and good game management when we're ahead and we'll do just fine.

The voice of all things rugby as awoken, we will have to wait and see then.

Hastings maybe back and at a push maybe bevan but he only just arrived in uk apparently (think i read) if so will he have to quarrintine.field added to list and maybe a ban for leuiluia should cop a ban .saying that wigan been wigan hell prib get away with it .other than that they aint due no one back

Fancied our chances more against Leeds than I do against Wigan, who seem to be able to scrape a win when playing poorly.
Having said that we've beaten them a few times over the years and hopefully we can do the same on Thursday.

You cant help thinking that they held a few players back and certainly having French and / or Hastings back in their 17 makes them a whole different side, never mind some of their first choice threequarters.

Do not agree about (if we defend like we did on Saturday) think it's more about cuting out the mistakes ,every try Leeds scored came from a mistake by us .

2 of them came from sets following a ball strip
