They're always a bit misleading the missed tackle stats for me. If it was a guy sitting in the line, waiting for attackers to run at him, like a halfback would usually do, then that would be worrying but guys like Micky Mac and Morgan Knowles miss loads and it's because they're trying to get off their line and put shots on. I'd imagine most of the Ipape misses were because of that and had very little baring on Leigh then completing the tackle.
Plenty of other targets for Wigan though. Get traffic going at Lam and O'Brien and chase hard on Moylan and get him thinking about things. He doesn't look fully fit to me and is nervous taking kicks and running the ball in.
Weather could be a big factor over the next couple of weeks. We've been a bit fortunate in the semis and finals of the CC and SL over the last 12 months with dry weather perfect for Field, French, Wardle etc. Obviously the CC semi last year didn't go so well in torrential rain though I'm sure its something Peet will have learned from.

This, and we should be targetting their right side of Mcintosh and Hanley, which is definitely their weakest point, both in attack and defence
I know they may need to juggle the backs a bit so Hanley probably goes other wing, with Hardaker into centre, which probably improves their defensive setup but that then leaves both wings and FB weak in defence and under the high ball
