FT
Leigh 30
Wigan 6

Wane out!

You may well get your wish very soon.

I blame Mathers ! We are adopting the Leeds policy this year, nothing matters until September.

After watching the game at leigh think that we will struggle at 6,7 and 9 if we have injuries.

Good observation Bear, you were outplayed in that area allday, even when we had our reserves out.

Your number 7 was very good fast as well.

I thought only Greg Burke of Wigan really showed up today.
I was disappointed with Wigans starting front row of Dudson, Tomkins and Taylor, and as you say that gave the Leigh pack dominance. They also exploited the inexperience on Wigans right edge (Burgess a winger playing centre and Manfreddi)

You mentioned the Wigan 6 & 7, but I think you're being a little harsh. Powell had to pull out through injury leaving Hampshire, normally a 6 to fill in at 7 and Carberry normally a hooker or back row to fill in at 6.

Just another point have you ever seen a game where a team has not been awarded a single penalty in the match?

With regards to this 'partnership' we have with Leigh and dual registration.

Does it work both ways? i.e. If we had an injury to a first team player in a key position could we 'borrow' such a player from Leigh as cover?

With this in mind how would the Leigh fans feel if this happened? On one hand your player gets SL experience and allows him to develop, but leaves Leigh short for a number of weeks.

Their 7 had a blinder today BTW.
