| Great performance from the players and coaching staff.
Great to see some real threat on the right with big direct running from Greenwood.
Wood reminds me of Brown when he was at Wigan I just worry about his lack of pace other than that he looks very good.
I’ve been a big critic of Faz, I thought he was comfortably the best player on the field tonight. Outstanding.

| Great performance, well disciplined and we moved the ball about. Let's maintain it now, that's been the challenge, a glimpse of good rugby, then back to dour one out stuff. Let's keep it going.

| Really enjoyed that - well disciplined and skilful performance.
Woods' passing and kicking game was very impressive - shame he's not a bit quicker off the mark but maybe he can develop that in time. The dummy to the inside man before the shift wide for Marshall's 2nd try was outstanding and something I can't remember seeing before.

| A lot of people will point to Leeds being in awful form and having a few injuries (not half as many as McDermott and Sky would have you believe) but I think we would have beaten most teams tonight and hope we can kick in from here with a tough run of fixtures coming up.

| Can’t disagree with any comments, I think they’re all pretty spot on.
Great performance and hopefully we can kick on from here. 4pts behind Saints, 3pts in front of Cas.
What were we ever worried about?

I spotted that subtle dummy,not sure it actually sold the defender but it looked slick.

I'll enjoy watching that back on Wigan TV. After the last few weeks that game was a great one to get back to the DW with. As John said Faz was outstanding. I thought Tommy L was up for it as well and bar one of two the kicking game was top notch. Don't think we made that many errors either unlike Leeds.

| Only negative was that Escare's pace has literally fallen off a cliff (as discussed in a thread a few days ago). He looked like he was running in quicksand after the first 30 metres.

| Just look so much more comfortable at home.
Woods impressed, varied passing, took the line on for his try, inches off a 40/20 and FINALLY WE HAVE A PLAYER THAT CAN PUT UP A SPIRAL BOMB. Looked the dominant half compared to Powell
Greenwood looked decent considering he’s on been in th squad a few days. Much needed size in our pack.
Usual suspect we’re good. Bateman, Davies, Farrell.
Impressed with Naverrette and Hamlin ( imagine the depth in the forwards if we kept FPN and Joel.)
Leeds weren’t up to much though. Looked forward to sterner tests in the coming weeks.

| It’s a funny old game.
We played very well tonight, it was good to see a much more diciplined performance.
Several times offer the last couple of weeks I’ve watched a game and thought it’s just not our night, all the 50/50’s & the bounce of the ball went against us. Tonight was the polar opposite, I sat watching thinking it’s our night tonight.

Wonder if he's lacking confidence? Thought he could have scored himself at the end.

I’m not sure he has ever been that fast.
I think he has always had outstanding acceleration but I’ve never thought he was a real flier.

Just watched it back on Wigan TV and he slows up for no reason. The guy is closing on him ever so slightly but it looks like he could make it and it was the same at Cas last week and Hull the week before.
As you say it could well be confidence after he had that bad injury last year.

Critical from Hull KR away onwards I presume?
There is no way in the world the bloke could be criticised from before that very short blip because he’s having a fantastic season. He has a Rolls Royce of an engine and every time a big game comes round this bloke is at the very top of his game.
I honestly don’t believe I’ve seen a player as vastly underrated across the whole league as Liam Farrell before. He’s been in the first team since 2010 and his consistency has been astonishing for my money. I’ve given up on his quality being rocognised in terms of England selection on a regular basis but he’d be an 80 minute starter for me who we’d then build a pack around, allowing us to rotate the big guys like Sam Burgess and Lockers.
