No excuse, sandy. I set off from Nome, Alaska just after breakfast and got to BV just as they were kicking off!!!

Chezzie's thoughts on the game...

"First and foremost we have to commend Leigh, the way that they played and the way they made it difficult to defend against. The challenge is lateral movements, caused us a lot of problems but I'm pleased for the players to get those two points.

"Had we not won the past two weeks I think the result might have been different, but I'm pleased we found a way to win at the end. It wasn't great, it was very scrappy but the points are what is important.

"It was about calm heads and attention to detail defensively. We just needed to concentrate and execute. We speak about playing the Wakefield way and sometimes if you do that you come up with errors.

"We came up with plenty of errors which was disappointing as last weekend everything stuck."

No joy other than fools like you say i dont know what im on about.i said today was going to be tougher due to duffy going never said we would lose and it was hell of a lot tougher

We've dropped on today, because if we'd been away, we'd have been beaten soundly.
That's the Wakefield way, scrape past the relegation teams at home and get hammered away.

I don't think we've just scraped home the last couple of weeks in fact we were very good. If that's the Wakefield way give me more of it.

Could be critical about a few things today but we needed the win and we got it.

Think your been a bit harsh there FickleFingerOfFate Think one of things that made it closer than it should have been ,was when leading 18-8 through good rugby we made a good overlap and Kershaw was not fast enough to get in the corner .A score then and think it was game over Not having a go at Kershaw, he as done well

We needed that win and got -it doesn't matter how we did it but - 3 in a row well done all

Not sure he wasn’t fast enough, he simply didn’t back himself.

That opportunity needed taking.

Will probably cost him his place in the team next week.

He needed to pin his ears back and go for it rather than cut back inside.

Lets be honest though we are not going to trouble the top 4 or 5 sides (starting Friday night ) but 3 on the the bounce is a great moment for the club

He did the same last week too.

He has 2 choices - don't hesitate and go for the corner, or march over the top of the sole defender - he did neither.

In either case, if the defender gets you, well done them - but make them do something!

Duffy going probably did make a difference but I do think that is a very small part compared to the ability of the players at Leigh.
They are no mugs and have played well without getting wins.
They had 2-3 players that were outstanding today. They just couldn't quite do it for the whole game.

I don't think we played that much worse than we did in the previous 2 games.
They shut our play down well and worked hard in a pack that was just outnumbered in size. Obviously we lost Kelepi which would have made a difference but Big Dave ultimately topped the balance as they found him difficult to handle.

I thought Mellor was top draw for them today.
Their right side caused us some problems until we started to get it under control.

A good win for us when we needed it.

Next week we play a club which appears to have some internal problems so giving us a chance, slim but a chance. We saw what Castleford did so hopefully we can duplicate the same, well as near as possible.

I find the new coach syndrome a bit of a myth. You only ever hear about it when the teams wins, never when they lose. Leigh’s performance and nothing to do with Duffy leaving, they’ve pushed better teams than us close this year. I think we underestimated them and made too many mistakes, but even then we had enough quality to go on and win. Not the best game today, but the it’s the result that was important.

Was right at the side of kershaw and IMO not a cat in hell of going in at the corner ,too far out with onrushing defence ,so did the right thing and came back inside,
