I thought it was a damn good game ,hard fought by both teams. It was obvious from the start that the Wire Old Boys & their new friends had come to mark our card.

Even an off-load from Hughes

Apologies to Leigh, my wires were crossed!

No probs - the forum caters for all sorts! (Me included.....)
I honestly do think Leigh deserved the win, BUT quite rightly there are many games where the better team doesn't win and we have been on the wrong end a fair few times. That's the way sport goes sometimes and you roll with the punches.
Don't get me wrong - I'm pleased we won (or maybe just relieved).
I think many posters on here have got it spot on when they said we looked jaded from the start - and Leigh looked quite the opposite.

I'm just wondering what next week will bring as this win has taken a lot out of them I think.
We really could do with some fresh bodies back - particularly forwards - but Currie and Musgrove are a few weeks away.

Tbf - There has been a little arrogance along the way in this thread, however, I wish you all the luck in your endeavours in the C Cup.

Is there some issue with Lam Jnr? He seemed to be in a real nark with his tea mates.

I don't know but, he certainly wasn't his normal self which stood out for all to see.
Lam Snr needs to address this asap. Also, We need Asiata back to take the captain's reins.

My pal is a big Leighther. He saw it as I did that from 60 mins it was obvious that Wire were on top with fitness and Leigh we’re burnt out.

That may be the case but for the first 60 minutes they were certainly a handful and looked more lively and inventive than we did. Great character and spirit from our guys to stick at it and work their way back into the game. Something we have not seen for a few years now. Great to see.

I felt we were in with a shout but I wasn’t particularly confident, I saw it as a bit of a test of character to be fair we came through.
I have to say if Leigh play like that consistently and they get more bodies back they will get some decent results.

It’s bad enough when you have one former player coming back with the opposition, a whole team of them is a bit of a nightmare.
Speaking of which was there nothing untoward for Charnley to complain about?

Leighs win will come and I thought we may have pipped you guys. Ashton did knock on but some you get, some you don’t.

Big game for us on Friday. If we can beat Catalans, that could give us the much needed lift we need. Lose it and we need a miracle. Hopefully Asiata will be back with Ipape the week after.


Warrington my second team and had a chuckle with my mates in the Mullberry Tree after the game. Consistency is the key and one big win for Wembley required. Good luck.

Have to give credit to some of the posters from Leigh. Definitely a class above the input from our competitors from Wigan and St Helens. Fair minded, little evidence of trolling or boasting and realistic. Makes a refreshing change.

I agree but to be even handed, I don't think that our regular contributors from Wigan are so bad (now I've done it) and they tend to keep it their game focused rather than general sniping.
