Well, truly abysmal as we were first half, I was pretty relieved to be only 24-6 down at HT.

I think the boys deserve a pat on the back for their first half defence when the amount of possession Wakey had should have seen them out of sight (a better team might well have been).

Second half was all about self-belief. As we got more confident Wakey wilted and even when they scored to go back in front we still had the edge and they were back pedalling.

Bob Beswick MOM by a mile, honourable mentions to Kurt Haggerty, Tommy Goulden, Oli Wilkes and especially Sam Hopkins - it's obvious Wane doesn't want him, can't we get him back?

I did too. But my trusty phone and Virgins TV Anywhere let me tell my tv box to record it at five past 2. Just finished watching it.

Living in Warrington I will no doubt come across a few Wire fans. Here are the words from the first one I came across this morning.

"It'll be a blood bath, we effing hate Leigh" I told he would hate us even more when Higham signs for us in the very near future. He had no response?

Well I did say it could have been a case of two good attacks V two poor defences, get within 10 m of either tryline & you looked like going over. No idea what happened 1st half though, if those errors against lower Championship teams end up being dealt with where as Wakefield were 30 m down the pitch or if we were so determined to keep our usual style of play (which we did & should have) we tried too hard with it. Either way, wasn't worried as I knew we could come out and play like we did. The 2nd half was incredible, if we'd have played like that for the full 80 we'd have absolutely trounced Wakefield. Ryan & Bob were absolutely outstanding. Bring on Warrington, would have quite liked them at the LSV, away well at least we don't have to go to Yorkshire for an away game for once.

After the Salford game, I still wasn’t convinced by what I saw from Leigh. Obviously we had the injuries and suspensions, as well as BJB’s ridiculous offload into Ryan Brierley’ arms to gift you the win.

The first 40 of yesterday’s game had me thinking much of the same, 24 game undefeated Championship team struggling 24-6 down against arguably the worst team in Super League this season. You seemed shook up by the speed of Wakefield’s defensive line, which caused countless errors from Leigh.

HOWEVER that second 40 was fantastic. Sure you can point at Wakefield failing into a false sense of security thinking the game was done, but some of Leighs attack was absolutely brilliant to watch as a neutral. Martin Ridyard was superb too, his kicking game is something else. Also very impressed with Hopkins who worked his absolute socks off in attack.

That second half performance has definitely made me excited for the middle 8’s as before yesterday, I honestly thought Wakefield would comfortably beat you. Also Batley and Featherstone put in two big efforts too – it’s all building nicely towards the end of the season.

Anyway, well done your support was fantastic yesterday too and I am sure you'll enjoy Warrington.

Agreed our first 40 yesterday was very poor ,but our completion rate was 37%,our possession was even less,and we were penalised around 2 to 1,we couldn't score with no ball or territorial position,the second d half a joy to watch, Riddy and Ryan shear magic, as you say Sam Hopkins had a good game.
