The build up in the ground was great, Lathums were good, massive crowd, Buffer was brilliant I thought. Then as has been said the crowd was dead, even the normally noisy Leigh fans maybe due to the temperature. Felt we bossed the first 20 but then Leigh grew into the game and we started to fatigue. I fully back Peets decision to let most of the team only start preseason in January (mental break needed after a gruelling season). But felt we saw the downside of that last night, Leigh looked the fitter side. With no WCC Peet knows we don’t need to be at our best early in the year and fitness will improve. Lack of composure from Field and Smith cost us tries and easy attempts at 1 pointers. Both sin bins were massive moments but correct calls and ultimately cost us. During the night I felt gutted for the sport in general, given the big build up the game was quite a boring arm wrestle, not showing RL at its best to new viewers. That 10 minute delay before GP was amateur. But was glad that most of the neutrals are twitter were talking up the game saying it was a classic which is good to see. Happy for Leigh and their fans, their new signings looked great and should be in for a good year challenging us all the way. No overreaction from me in regards Wigan - we will be fine.

Do teams receiving the ball from kick off in golden point ever win? Does anyone know what the stats are on that?

I wish they'd put golden point in the bin. Forget us last night, we lost in a tight affair, against a good side and don't need every point we can get but Cas deserved something from that game tonight. I don't know why a draw can't just be a draw.
