wigan were not 8 points better than leigh.

Wasnt a dig , i honestly think wigan are in for a very tuff season

Toughest game leigh will get all year that. Will walk the championship for certain.played very well today, not every day you play the world champions.

There will be tough games next season no danger of that , should finish top though

Apart from facing a top SL team in the CC, I agree there Jonny.

Gene, I agree it won't be easy for Wigan this season, wouldn't surprise me to see them with us in the middle 8s ,depends how they go with injuries, though I do think Sam Tomkins will have a good season this year.The Hull game in Aus won't help them either.

Sounds like a fairly even game today so really does bode well

They were.

It was a good blow out for both teams, we matched them in most areas, but their kicking game especially short was far superior to ours, and we took several dummies including Tomkins calling for a twenty tap.



Not quite worked out who’s who yet in this new team but Thompson, Hutchinson, and Hall were the standouts for me, the big lad Vaivai looked ok to but only did a short spell and seemed limping quite bad at the end, the French lad Dezaria looks like he’ll make some yards when the grounds harden and looks to off load, all in all a promising start, complacency could be our biggest threat this season.

Noticed a few of the Toronto lads in their club tracksuits at the game. I wonder what they thought?

Blimey! they've come a long way

Don't think we will need to worry about toronoto.. pack stood up well to a big physical Wigan pack yesterday.. with Thompson and baptiste to come into that as well it looks good.. must. Admit I was impressed with Richards yesterday did big minutes and made good yards

Very good performance from Leigh today. Don't forget Leigh had never played together as a team before and, they were playing the World Champions! Sam Tompkins showed what Ive always believed that he is a Halfback, I have doubt whatsoever that Wigan would not have won today without him! If Wane plays Tompkin Halfback this season Wigan will be right up there at the top!
Well done Leigh
