Yes, he never shut up all thru the game and told Feilden off twice in the first half for being in the wrong position when Leigh kicked off lol, the third time he got it right to a load of cheers from us lot in the South stand :lol:
Got a bit angry when a leyther tried to muscle in on Sam Tomkins and the second time they did it, him and Feka had go at the leyther, Feka being spoken to by the ref :roll:
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Hats off to Smith there Josie he was first man in to defend Sam. Thought he looked and kicked well today...a very good pass for first try.

I thought so too, he is very vocal and he was directing players all the time. Lockers and Leuluai both had big games as well, Lulu played hooker. Don't know what was wrong with Mark Riddell, but when I looked thru my binocs at him in the dugoug looked like he was drinkng a can of Carlsberg lol :wink: it wouldn't have been tho' :doz:

How did Flanagan do at hooker? And what's up with McIlorum?

Looks like a good game, judging from the press reports! I like the sound of Coley backing up an 80-metre break by Phelps! :D

To be fair Phelps didnt look to quick over the 80. Only people whi bothered chasing caught him. We looked lean and trim and thought we defended well.

Was more concerned over not having piggy than MM

Smith looked better and lively,

Coleys try was a gud un, dissapointed how Phelps didnt finish it off but 6 points non the less

i think we played well without Piggy and hope he's k for next week

Pryce - v.dissapointed, he touched the ball once and made no tackles and went off limping, IMO other than his size looks like no threat at all

Lockers and Hock played outstanding as did Feka

Sam got a good run but didnt stand out as much as the Warrington game as Smith was bossing things more - loved how Smith and Feka looked out for him in that lil arjy barjy

overall satisfied and think we'll win comfertably next week with Piggy, Roberts added

BTW not sure why roberts wasnt playing?

Piggy had a knock on his ankle so he was rested cause they want him right for Wakefield.

i was so cold i didnt chear for the Baily try because i couldnt move. there was 6,000+ on and i swear there was about 60% warriors. leigh are useless, first offical match and their biggest match of the year in a local derby and they cant even turn out - i laugh at the fact they say they want to be in the super league.

team played well but a couple of errors. best move was in the first half but we ended up knocking it on after god knows how many passes.

really a training match with a couple of collisions especialy with the dirty leigh players but wigan soon sorted them out.

i hope Bentham refs better in Super League because despite 1 or 2 calls he was dire
