loving this thread. All of you saying that wasn't a knock on at the end, stand up, walk to the nearest mirror, look yourself in the eye and say slowly, "I am an idiot."
Great game. Epic. Wigan were brutal, uncompromising and relentless - it's not often a team out-muscles and out-enthuses Leeds and those lads can be proud of the calibre of player they beat today. Wigan did to Leeds what Leeds normally do to everyone else.
Both teams pushed the limits today. For example, anyone notice Mcguire kicking Manfredi(?) after being caught on the break late on? No? Wigan were there to knock seven bells out of Leeds and that's what they did. Niggle, late shots, big hits right across the park - give me that every week, loved it every second. Peacock was awesome again despite some brutal punishment.
McIlorum was outstanding - what a work rate. Hits way above his size and weight every time. And stop yer crying, the shot on Peacock was handbags - first impact was shoulder. A couple of yellows was correct. Micky's an absolute terror in defence, no wonder he's Wane's favourite player.
Fantastic stuff and Wigan deserved it.
