These errors were nothing more than just blowing the cobwebs off.
It's been a long off season. You will see less of these errors as all the players adjust and come back up to speed. This is exactly why you play pre-season friendlies. Come the Bradford fixture we will be ready and raring to go.

| Not very long ago, this Wigan side would have put 50 points past a Leigh team. I think the lads should be very proud of themselves.

| Excellent performance by everyone. Put ourselves under a bit of pressure by losing too much ball but that got better with practise even during this match. Defence was excellent, they weren’t getting through the middle and we did very well on the outsides against that most unusual thing of late, a team that could match us for pace. w!g@n came out strong 2nd half and Rowley seemed to be messing our team about in different positions but we still did excellently, we’ve got so much strength in depth this year. Can't wait to see our warmed up, fully fit squad take on Bradford now (even more so than before).

| You have to love the confidence of the team, we will attack from anywhere and against lesser teams we would have gone the length of the field.
We are playing the best rugby I have ever seen, including the 80-84 era. Its a privilege to watch it

| What is remarkable in this win is the fact Wigan, had six England players on the pitch and they have played recently in the tri nations so they were not as 'rusty' as leigh! Could we have beaten a team including six of the Australian Test Team? I think not!

| We should test Castleford's commitment to Ben Reynolds by offering him a three year deal now, this lad is going to be an international and outstanding player, to produce a performance, on debut, against last season's Grand Finalist and the team tipped to do well this season was, sensational!
I know its reported Cas have first chance to offer him a 2016 contract however, he is our player so make the offer now! we don't owe Cas owt they didn't hesitate to offer Millward a contract halfway through our season did they!

| I'm not getting carried away with yesterday's result as I'm sure PL won't , Wigan lacked so much leadership , and created nothing from the amount of possession they had in the second half.We tackled very well , and our centres of Worthington and Armstrong look to have a good season ahead of them, I was impressed with Reynolds a decent our Pack bossed the Wigan pack, but I would be worried for the Coming season if I was a Wigan fan, they need a 6 and fast.
,Still a quality win by the Leythers I can't wait for the season to start, happy days, Charlie knows.

| VERY impressed with Reynolds and Worthington. For a converted half back to score three tries opposite one of the best wingers in Super League is summat else though, well done Liam Kay.

This lad is a talent and one that came to the attention of the coaching staff whilst playing very well against our 20s last year for York.
A few months ago I was questioned on here when I contributed to a thread about the strongest 17 and included Ben ahead of Greg. This wasn't a reflection on Greg more a reflection of how highly I rate BR.
Id only really seen him play at FB but on yesterdays showing Greg looked big and strong and assured at the back and Ben played really well in the halves so he will now push Riddy and Ryan for those half back positions hard by the looks of things.
Great competition for places and the depth we lacked last year.

Charlie dont get sucked in to thinking the Wigan lads were poor; instead they just wont face many equivalent talents in SL next year. George Willams will be one of the best stand offs in SL next season, a hugely talented lad. However what he wont have is Slammin Sam Barlow charging at him 3 in from the toucline and knocking him into next week.
Our edge defence was as good as it gets yesterday, absolutely emmense.
This is going to be one hell of a season and i have my pray mat out that we get a Super Dooper league team at home in the Challenge Cup, nobody will want to draw us away. I pray that the team is the current holders, now revenge would be sweet....
Enjoy the time, Leythers this is our time !!

Exactly what myself and my owd pal Arthur were discussing as we left the ground.
A performance from a half back that looks like he has the ability to move us round the park. Something I have to say has worried me in the past whenever young Ridders is not in the team. Boy do we rely heavilly on Ridyard so it is reassuring to have a player who can now help to share the burden.

Ste believe me I'm not getting sacked into thinking anything , Wigan had a great amount of possession in the 2nd half and scored a good try when they ran at our line , we looked comfy defending one on one which is good , our attack didn't have many chances in the 2nd half, I know for a fact Shawn Wane was a very unhappy man after the game, I spoke to Lee Moss op this morning at the gym , he said Waney ordered the Team to get straight on the bus home

Hi Charlie,
Thats because Wane is an arrogant pr1ck, whos bully boy tactics have delivered Wigan 2 trophies in his 3 year reign, mainly due to having the best player in the league by a mile in Sam Tomkins. His tactics cost Wigan everything last year and i look forward to him winning nothing in 2015.
They ran at our line all day though mate and scored 3 tries, one a middle break from half way, a kick to the corner and a slick passing move to the right in the first half.
Not that it will ever happen but if our coach was their head coach theyd win the league
