That game would have been worthy of the GF.

An awesome display of team spirit and top class rugby, and a special mention for Scotty Donald who I have bagged often enough.

Scored a cracking try, and was perfectly positioned to take out Richardson in the last few seconds.

Who?

Well done from me too! Triumph - Despite all the tripe and dirty play from the Pies ....and Phil Clarke!

What ever happens in our next two games the boys showed tonight that they're a special group.

Now, don't die with the music in you guys...

All done with a under strength pack and without Bailey for what seemed like the whole second half , although the tools on sky only mentioned how Wigan had to cope without Deacon

Well done Leeds

Yet I know the exact moment Deacon left the field , they mentioned it occaisionally

Well, without his killer pace, what team could survive?

Outstanding effort and team spirit.
Also got to mention the "Away End" atmosphere was electric at times and great to be a part of.

One of Wigan, Warrington, Hull KR or Huddersfield depending on next week's results.

Assuming Wigan are one of the two survivors (just for the benefit of this question) I see no chance of St Helens picking them.

This being their final 1st grade fixture at Knowsley Road a potential defeat to Wigan would be too much to tempt to fate. That said it would give them a final chance to beat them and send the old ground off in style and avenge their home defeat in April. So never say never.

Didn't Wigan send Central Park off with a win V Saints? (28-20 in Sept '99)

Oh and a great night to be a Leeds fan. Who needs specialist props in the modern game.

Fantastic game thoroughly deserved victory and great birthday present for Sir Kevin Sinfield!. I had such a great time the atmosphere was electric. I hope Danny and Bailey are ok and also hope the players enjoy a well deserved rest.

Fully agree with your comments. McGuire and Eastwood were the stand out players but special mention should also go to Kylie who put in a huge effort (would like to see his stats including game time) Burrow, Sinfield, Donald and Buderus were alse very influential in an allround team effort.

Tremendous performance, Eastwood was outstanding and Kylie put in big minutes in the circumstances.

McGuire was excellent - hope the injury isn't as bad as first thought and he takes the field again this year.

Highlights for me:

1. Sinfield's sweet drop goal
2. Kylie's hit and ball steal on Sam Tomkins
3. Eastwood's charge in the dying minutes, straight over the top of Sam Tomkins
4. Donald finishing a try which took a lot of finishing, over the top of Sam Tomkins
5. Ablett's hit on Sam Tomkins

DISCLAIMER - the above is not a dig at Sam Tomkins, who after all was Wigan's most dangerous player. He just happened to be involved in most of Leeds' good stuff.

On Sky before the game it said the bookies had given Leeds an 11 point start. IN reality it was Wigan who needed a headstart to avoid a large defeat
