Early Days but we showed some good signs, we looked very fit, all the new boys looked good especially L’Hooker, Rocky, Crookes, and Clare. Of the ‘old’ guard Reynolds, Hood and Paterson were the stand outs for me.

I think we struggled initially with pace of the game and our in play kicking wasn’t great as they were quick to close the kickers down but when they got up to speed and the kickers took a further step back, we took control, the second half was spoiled by Wanes team selection, but makes for a good day here at work.

The plus side is as we were walking up through Leigh, we bumped into my cousin and her husband to our surprise they were going to the game, I’ve never known them to go before, they’re planning to attend most home games this season. Also as we were stood in the queue to get in, another couple, friends of ours were in the queue, he usually attends about one game a year, he’s a keen cyclist and the change in fixture days means he’s planning to attend more games and was proud to show off his first new home shirt, don’t think she’d been since the last time we were in SL.

Also good to see more signs/sponsorship at LSV.

Yes Glow,I found the Hollands sign to be quite amusing.

Thought actions temperament was very good yesterday couple of times Sutton went looking for him as last man in, things like that will lead anyone to have a do back not just Acton, all forwards looked good yesterday and we have our best too come back yet in Weston, though green and hoppy made a massive difference when they came on they were hitting there fronts and giving pellisier quick ball

Given Leigh are not in the same position as Wigan academically.Do you think Jukesy would have gone the same way if roles where changed?

Me too.

Me 3.

I don't.

You never do, are you going to wear the Pinstripe Suit at the Dewsbury game?

Interesting choice of phrase, Atomic, Wigginers have meat & tater for brains.
BUT Leythe had to see the new lads go. First full contact match since so many of them arrived. Wane had a look at his lads. Different scenario. We picked up two injuries that we didn't need with a squad way smaller than the Pahs'.

Just been chatting with Salford Skeletor who told me that they picked up four injuries against 'Fax.

Needs must for the have-nots. Yes it might have been different if the shoe was on the other foot.

Working as ever on Sundays but, despite all the above, Bongser did enjoy the scoreline.

PS: Regarding Leythe's tweet about ordering extra pies, did they order enough humble?

If you're a subscriber to LCTV B&B,you can now watch the full match,plus the interviews.

INOUT
Good evening Bongser, hope you are well?In my opinion Shaun Wane did what he thought was best for Wigan, ie,putting out his strongest side first , then giving youth a chance ,if he had played it the other way round it would have left his experienced men with a mountain to climb,I think he did the right thing, as did Jukesy, the difference was we at Leigh have no youth to play at the moment , but I'm sure if Derek and Jukesy are still here in 2018 maybe we will have a few youngsters to blood.
Wigan for me will still be in the GF in October,they have both Tompkins, Flower,Clubb, Burgess, Manfredi, Bateman,Micky Mac,to add to the team,and think they will be at Old Trafford In October.
I really enjoyed the game on Sunday,and the scoreline, the Wiganers I spoke to this week we're all impressed by Leigh, most think we will finish in the top 8 this season.

Ian, the question is,will we beat them in October?
