| Barlow superb as usual, that tackle he did in 1st half was excellent. Worthington looked all class. Also difficult to look past a hat-trick hero in kay

| Ben Reynolds impressed me massively, he imposed himself on the match and his organisation and distribution was key for Leigh today.
Dare i say , some of our ambitious young players who have well documented SL intentions may actually find themselves looking over their shoulders this year for a Leigh shirt such is the level of competition.
Bob Beswick had a super game as did young Barlow who was involved in everything,

| I have to say that Ben looked very comfortable where he played and that is a good thing for him and the coaching staff. Greg Worthington went well as did the other new faces. Fui Fui has been teaching Jamie the smash as he took two balls in full blast and the Wigan defence nearly stood off. SAMs big hit set up our first try and I thougt that we looked as good as we finished last season. That is credit to the boys and the all the back room staff. There was a comfortable sense of a team that could work well together today. Even though it was shaken up a bit.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Very good display by everybody, only criticism was a lack of leadership 2 nd half when we kept turning over posession far too easily and often , somebody should have got the word around to complete a couple of sets, but a cracking day, bring on the Bulls

| A question - when was the last time we beat a Wigan side who looked as good on paper as this one?

1985 at Hilton Park. Way back in the Woods and Drummond era. On this showing, the next victory is just around the corner. The future looks increasingly bright.

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).
