Similar to how the Leigh Saints game went I would think but with us looking less "in control" than Saints did.

Tough 60/65 minutes but we will get the win in the end.

Will take any win. Its all in Leighs favour this game.

At home with a home crowd. Still looking for their first win, on the back of our first loss.

All the more reason we should be "up" for this game, if I hear another "we didn't see that coming" post match interview from Lam I might start crying

Would go down in history as Brian Noble's "don't throw the baby out of the bathwater" did.

I said at the start of the season that Leigh may well finish on 0 points and I'm sticking with that. Obviously the players should never be complacent but I can't see anything other than a comfortable win here. Good opportunity to work out which way round we want to play French/Hardaker/Bibby. Try both combos during the game.

"We trained well" was a favourite of Nobby's.

I think Lam might have played that card once or twice as well.

To be fair I'm not really expecting the coaches to broadcast what they got wrong and plan to do differently. I strongly suspect a lot of that analysis and planning goes on once they can review the game.

If I was Lam I would just be going into those interviews thinking "Don't say anything controversial or give away any information that might help or motivate the opposition." Look at one of the greatest coaches of all time, Bill Belichick, all he does when they lose is say "The opposition are a very good team who played well. We need to coach better and play better." he refuses to get drawn into any specifics or make any meaningful comment, no good can come of it.

You're right. Coaches get criricised for hanging players out to dry in public, but then they also get criticised for protecting players.

The annoying thing for me is that we continue to do the same things in big games and in wet weather football and never seem to learn so Lam saying "I don't know what happened" just makes him sound atupid because we can all basically predict what will happen.

Two things that I would like to see this week are 1. Byrne holding onto the ball and 2. Bullock being given more than a cameo. Just because Clubb is not playing we do not have to tell someone else to only take three carries and stay on the pitch for 5 minutes.

It does seem as though Lam has a plan that one prop must do a lung busting 5-10 minute spell and no more. You’d think it was some sort of freakish 7ft tall giant we were speaking about, who will smash in for a try or two and exit the field a hero.

I've just seen their statement about not streaming the game. Disregard my previous comments, no playing any kids or experimenting with the backs. Throw everything we have into it and stick 70 on them. Bellends

I’m not sure Wigan would have agreed to change the date had they known they were going to do this.

So we won’t be able to stream it then? I’ve not seen Wigan say anything about it.

Leigh are a tinpot club. Hope they get relegated.
