First of all I'm amazed we (Leigh) won so easily at Huddersfield. But secondly I'me even more amazed by your comeback and eventual thrashing of the pies. When you went down to 12 men I thought should I bother leaving the 2nd half on the TV. But I'm so glad I did.....

We cant keep riding our luck in these first halves to the degree where we have to be completely unrecognisable in the second. The second was amazing against a side that just fell apart but the errors and discipline in that first half need addressing. Its clear theyre coached to reserve energies for the second half in how they defend and carry the ball in the first but compounded with errors and penalties theyre playing russian roulette on a style that requires the opposition to not maintain their levels.

All I can say is I`m glad I didn`t post on here at half time. Tetavano will cop a few games but I do think he was unlucky with ne intent to go high. Austin and Smith followed by Holroyd top performers. Myler did what he had to do very well and Donaldson I thought tackled his heart out. Lisone probably his best game and O`Connor improved 100% from the previous week. No doubt we will lose to Cas after beating Saints the week before. But hats off to all the players out there for a great second half performance.

Oh and how refreshing was it having Stevie Ward giving his educated views on the game tonight. I hope he becomes a permanent fixture at the expense of John Wilkin and Phil Clarke.
At one point in the first half Wigan were on course to go top of the league... yet their second half performance was awful - the defending for a couple of our tries was as bad as any I've seen from Leeds this season, which is really saying something! The fact that a team as bang average as Wigan were tonight could easily have ended the night top of the league shows how wide open the competition is this year.
The pass which led to Tindall's interception try was one of the most hilariously forward passes I've ever seen!
It was great to see Stevie Ward looking and sounding well on Sky, I thought he did a terrific job and came across very very well.
Matt Peet comes across as a very decent, honest bloke and is highly likeable. Things I never thought I'd say about a Wigan coach!
Really does show the standard is at an all time low in SL though. Some absolute bums in that Wigan side and they’re cruising around the top two/three. Sam Powell and that Cust are terrible
