Very enjoyable game today & i can imagine Leigh giving superleague a good go providing they get in & if they can keep the same team . I am very pleased Mickey Higham didn't play or the result would probably have been different. I thought the pitch looked immaculate btw.

Wasn't impressed by Wilkin and his antics in commentary. I hope Jiffy jumps up and down with joy when Widnes scores.

Certainly a case of "if only" on a few occasions, and we deserve huge credit to score only one try less than a side of Warrington's quality, but I think the better side won (just about). Penny has taken some stick in the past, especially when he played against us for Swinton, but that try in the corner was world class and more than worthy of winning any game.

Still, I'm sure the players will have enjoyed playing on the big stage and will be hungry for more, as will the fans.

Tremendous atmosphere and I'm sat here thoroughly proud to be a Leyther.

Silverwood; me.

Great post that Matt. Good luck v Salford Hulls and Wakey. (I hope)

I thought we were absolutely awful for pretty much the whole of the first half. Then excellent for 25 minutes to start the second half then took our foot off the gas for the last 15.

I thought Leigh scored some very high quality tries but outside those flashes were a poor side. Couldn't do anything against twelve men for ten minutes where if they were going to win they had to get something going right there and they shrunk under the pressure to do it. Emmit was a ing joke, all he did was flubber around trying to slow the game down to his fat pace.

Leigh looked unfit for a full time team. I think all of their forwards were carrying too much fat. I'm critical of our fitness levels but I thought Leigh looked way off even us in that second half.

Some of our tries were very good too but yet again our precision and cohesion in attack was mostly poor and some of our defending was still very poor.

All that being said, it was a thoroughly entertaining cup tie and you have to remember Leigh are only a Championship side. So for that level they were impressive considering.

I thought we were excellent first half,took our foot off the gas and lost concentration for the first 25 mins of the second half,then we came right back into it,and finished strongly .

Not to bad for a team of unfit fat bast*rds!

Totally disagree with you there. He did an excellent job as water-carrier, in the hot conditions! Now, had he been able to play in the game, we may have had the luxury of spelling Beswick, instead of asking 80 minutes from him.

By the way, Brad Dwyer's performance at hooker, came as no surprise to me. I've been impressed with him during our meetings with London Broncos this season.

Anyway, good luck in the semis and, hopefully, in the Final.

Cheers pal.

Yes you're right, and also Leigh wasn't at their best today. So make of that what you will.

Told ya we'd play em twice this season.
