| Leigh have the edge here I think - cant see our attack matching up to theirs. But I still hope to see us make it tough for them by keeping it solid with a low error and penalty count. We need to start building discipline into our performances over the last couple of months in the same way we did last year - hopefully French and Field can add the sparkle at the back end.

Definitely not - back to form in that first half. Moylan clearly isn't fit.

| Why anybody expected Leigh to beat us tonight was beyond me. We have a bigger squad to choose from with superior players so the short turnaround was heavily in our favour.
I keep seeing people saying the fixture list means we wont finish top but we have the best squad in the league and I think we will finish top comfortably but in a 1 off game in the playoffs/Grand final I am less confident and wouldn't be shocked if we didn't go back to back

| I think our forwards showed up really well for the most part. They laid the platform for us. Leeming had a great game and deserved MOTM but everyone worked hard.
Happy with the 2 points as you felt Leigh were in good form heading into tonight's game but they didn't quite produce, especially first half.
Top of the league again for now. It'll be interesting to see how we pull up from that game and the squad selection for Leeds on Saturday.

| Got to be satisfied with the win, scoreline and, for the most part, the performance.
Leeming had a commanding and well paced game, so we saw a bit more quality from Smith.

| Nsemba on the left might be the way to go for the rest of the season now. Farrell has owned that side for years but is a fading force in attack and I’m happy for him to be a more defensive second rower on the right. Pleased for Leeming who will be better when we get another hooker to dovetail with. First half was just more like us in defence and get through Saturday with one more big effort and we can hopefully catch a breather for a few days after it.

If Wigan bring their A game they win. B game tonight was too good for Leigh. The next two games are crucial, win them both we will take the LLS.

Forber is fit again. Faz is 20% of the player he was but still provides the gel that holds us together. The guy needs a rest and hopefully he will get that before the play offs. Better all round performance. Junior was great, Keighran’s best game, Hampshire and Smith improved, Walters is more suited to the middle and we need to spell Mago better as his defence can be wanting.

Fair comment, I think the game at home v HKR will be the decider.

| I turned off at HT. I didn't think Wigan had to do much that first half, they weren't great yet go in 22-0 up at HT. Some of the defence from Leigh was schoolboy stuff. Moylan clearly wasn't fit as that was one of the worst 40 min performances I've seen from an individual in a long time. I've no idea what happens when Leigh play Wigan, they seem to go into a shell. The Yellow Giraffe articulated it perfectly on Twitter by asking why do they play like Penrith Panthers against Saints but like Chorley Panthers against Wigan.
I thought Nsemba continues to look like a complete unit, the NRL are definitely going to come knocking for him at some point. Good coaching too to swap him to the other side after his defence was found to be wanted previously.
Eckersley is another one who continues to impress and it will be interesting to see where he ends up playing and how many games he plays but he is a very good player.

While I didn't expect us to lose, I thought Leigh would be far more tigerish than they were.
Even when we put the cue on the rack in the second half, they never looked like catching us up.
