Well mate they will be calling you tight soon because I think that is spot on.

You are absolutely correct in everything you say and we not only competed against a strong but not full strength Wigan side but will have learned so so much from the tough first full contact hit out of the 2014.

We could have played Wigan's starting 17 and got done by 50/60 alternatively we could have played a Wigan u19s like previous years and won but learned nothing either. Today's selections from both sides were spot on IMO and made for a great game and a competitive spectacle and one which both teams and staff deserve great credit for so early in the calendar.

Unfortunately Leigh is blessed with some serious bell ends as fans and you have just responded to one.

All the positive stuff going on and they pick out the fact that half a dozen real big names didn't come.

Tool probably doesn't realise while going on about Wigan's team selection that Sam Tompkins, Pat Richards, Harrison Hanson and co no longer play for them. Indeed Hanley and Gregory retired years ago

Dan Sarginson looks like he will kick on to be one of the best in SL now he's playing for top side and the fullback Hampshire looks set for stardom.

All this hullabaloo every year about the team Wigan outs out in these friendlies. It's really quite simple. Every coach should put out a team that they feel can win any given match. Looking at the scoreline it would appear that the Wigan coach achieved that.

The best way to get Wigan to put out their first choice 17 in a future friendly is to effectively force them to do so if they want to win the game. In other words, if Leigh can improve year by year, what we want to happen WILL eventually happen. It's not really realistic to expect Wigan to put out a full team against the likes of us (leaving aside promises made and broken).

Lets look to this season to help close the gap and as we move into playing in the Middle 8 we will gradually get the experience of big games we need to force Wigans hand in future.

Best try of game and one of the best tries I've ever seen from a Leigh side.

I was sat directly in line with half way and the pass that was pulled back was at worst flat.

But for being caught cold and slow start second half we matched everything a strong Wigan outfit had to offer and Liam Kay was a menace in and around the ruck.

Brown will score bags at Championship level and sat I the West stand it was evident every time he touched the ball the North Stand made a noise.

That pack against championship opposition will be devastating and I thought big SAMs footwork and Wilkes work rate matched anything Wigan had to offer in their spells on the paddock.

Ryan Brierley looked sharpe with ball in hand and it's evident this year we have support players who will score tries running on the shoulder.

All in all encouraging, Friday will be tough as Salford will be strong but we are getting battle hardened ready for Batley and the real business that really matters.

Was in a box today and never seen so many people in the exec areas and the vibe was mega.

Knob...and what is necpver ?
Too many shandy's ?
Don't tell me what to do, and sucking up to Pie fans, you are PATHETIC/SAD/WIGANNER.

It's getting late wee lad and I'm up you mam early so don't expect any further replies after this.

I’d like to leave you with one thought…but I’m not sure you have anywhere to put it???

I’m busy now. Can I ignore you some other time maybe?

Give it a rest guys, or the thread is being locked.

What do you mean by your first para or is it meant to mean something other than you are disappointed in the BOM.

If I have misunderstood you I apologise.
