So by definition they are not in the middle of an injury crisis.

According to Leigh's coach on the TV earlier, they were down to 18 players for tonight's game. If that is the case, and to be honest I trust his facts more than yours and the previous posters, how can they only have 20 players in total?

Regardless of the relative injury situations at the two clubs, Wigan should have had enough to win, and didn't.

My plan this year, as opposed to last year is comment at the end of the season. I and many others waxed lyrical about Wane going etc. After winning it last year and then winning the WCC, Wane has more than earned some leniency when it comes to time. Yes I'm ed off, yes I'm angry and think displays recently have been pathetic. However I reserve full judgement until October.

Probably the wisest reaction, if not the most controversial!




Oh, on Marshall's kicking: sorry, my bad.

Not doubting Wigan's injury crisis - it reminds me of Leeds last season. And they came good at the end of the season, when they got the bodies back on the pitch.

Leigh were actually missing first choice three quarters Higson, Crooks & Tonga, and their deputies Clare, Fleming and Naughton. Hence a three quarter line of a wing, a fullback, a second row and a stand off. (that's where Hampshire has been playing, with some success lately) Add to that first choice forwards, Hock, Higham, and Vea, and that is a crisis, when you only have a small squad to select from.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

We shouldn't be losing when scoring 6 tries, again. Our forwards in particular look completely knackered. No excuse for some of those soft barge- over tries we conceded. Still, put Faz and Lockers back in and we'd win that game, I reckon.

I agree but I thought FPN and Navarette were both very good when they were on the pitch. Joel worked his nuts off again but the goal line defence was shocking, as was our defence of kick returns. That's an organisation issue which doesn't happen when Lockers plays. I shudder to think what we'll do when he hangs his boots up!

Yeah, that worries me too. On the plus side, I thought Gildart was impressive, especially on his first game back after such a bad injury. That alone shows how much we're missing senior players like him, Faz, Bateman, Lockers. It lookes to me as if a lot of the players were carrying bad knocks, and wouldn't have played if we'd had any good alternatives. I'm determined to stay positive (without being a happy clapper)!

Gildart is just class, a game-winner. I wouldn't call him a senior player at 20 years old though!

Yes, we just got a few glimpses of the difference a proper centre makes.

Unfortunately, we have many more problems than that.

Listen, Wane summed it up post match, he knows what you have in the locker and you will come good - but Wembley seems your best bet imo.

I think the signing of Segeyaro had a lot more to do with Leeds' end of season revival last year than getting injured players back.
