I know that it is the way we deal with pre-season friendlies but will we start the season like last year without a full strength team having played together? I know little about conditioning so perhaps someone could tell me what advantage we get from being under the cosh for so long? (honest question). In the first half in the company of some senior players some of the young lads looked good. I would have thought that that mix would have brought greatest benefits.

Today's game means nowt. Well other than my £29 I paid out to support Micky Mac that is! Let's see how the SL game in March goes when two points are on offer.

I can't help but feel a little short changed with the side we played but there you go. We do it every year in this game yet year on year Leigh are getting stronger so the result gets worse.
I thought Micky Mac may have made the effort to go to the fans at the end also. A cracking crowd turned up from Wigan and I'd have expected him to acknowledge that.
I agree MattyB, but we were embarrassed today not just beaten or outclassed.
What made it worse was the group of fans more entertained by the name of a sponsor than the actual game. They sang more songs about Lisa than they did about Wigan all game, add to that the pally back slapping or whatever bromance was going on between them and Reynolds was embarrassing, he was kicking us to death, we should have been at his throats all game regardless of whether it's a friendly or not.
Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.
As a Leigh fan, it was disappointing that Shaun Wane virtually fielded a different team in the 2nd half. But I think you guys have more fiendlIes lined up (we only have 1 more v Dewsbury) 1st half was a good game, but 2nd half....Leigh v Wigan Juniors, although the 'young pies' got 'stuck in/tried their best) it should have been the scoreline that it ended up being....
