| I might well be alone in saying this but I for one am livid that we are being taken for mugs by Wane his team selection tonight and Vs KR has shown zero respect to those that have played bloody well recently namely Williams & Powell, Don't get me wrong I'm all for picking your best side ready for the play offs but it's not like Wane has even done that we've had three players missing for 8 weeks plus and those that have filled in have stood up and done well yet as soon as those injured players are fit again they waltz straight back into the starting line up (unless your name is Joe Burgess one of this years stand out youngsters in the competition he gets shoved into the reserves in favour of a far inferior player in Thornley IMO). not from the bench like you might expect after lengthy absences. I'm sorry but it's not right, As the saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it. We beat Salford comfortably at home, Green is declared fit again so he dumps Williams to the bench then tonight McIllorum & Thornley are fit and Williams & Powell are removed althogether it's disgusting how he's treated them he's shown more respect to a player who won't even be at Wigan next season, I'd like Shaun Wane to take a page out of the Catalans book and show Green the same amount of respect as Leon Pryce I'd rather concentrate on working on a new 6 & 7 partnership ready for next season that way it takes less games to gel and use Green either sparingly or from the bench, and if that results in us missing out on the Grand Final then I'd be gutted but at least we'd have done what's right by those that are actually going to be at the club next season. It's the same with the Tomkins situation with Salford he was more interested in being respectful to Salford than doing the right thing for Wigan when McIllorum got injured.

| Yes, I'll agree our defence looked good but did Leeds really throw anything at it? Leeds were so poor and looked clueless in attack as did we for the most part. Thought we won the game because we weren't quite as bad as they were.

| I've just watched the game and to be honest after seeing it again I take back a few things I said earlier. It was quite a good game and although our attack wasn't as crisp as it could have been it definitely wasn't woeful. The forwards played really well but we did look second best when flower/Crosby weren't on the field. So overall a pretty good performance and a vast improvement from the last couple of games.

| I didn't think either team was as good as they can be last night. Wigan played at a high intensity, and were excellent in the first half, and probably should have been further ahead, saying that I don't recall too many scoring opportunities. 2nd half I thought Wigan were quite poor and had Leeds been able to stop dropping the ball in good field position it could have been a lot closer, but Wigan didn't need to get out of 2nd gear in the 2nd half, and comfortably deserved the win.
Hopefully, with a full team out the result will be different if we meet in the play offs.

| I dont wan to state the bleedin obvious, but both sides didn't want to show their set moves 2 weeks before the play offs, so to criticise the attacking play is pointless. On that basis it was a very bizarre match to judge, however Wigan did want the result that bit more on the night, Leeds showed a little more caution in some parts of the match and it really didnt suit them. Whats important for Wigan is improving the completion rate and not gaining any more injuries & bans. A job well done

| Smart piece of coaching by Wane for me. At Magic Weekend we battered Peacock to deny Leeds their go forward. Last night, already without Burrow and McGuire, we closed down Sinfield at every opportunity to ensure their play making was limited. Hence the Smith interception as Sinfield forced to pass hurriedly to a teammate in a no better kicking position on tackle 5 own half.
