Sinfield kicks a penalty to level it at Huddersfield.

If it stays like that, that means Leeds are second and get a home game.

Hall scores when he picks up a loose ball and runs the length to win on the hooter.

Ref gone to the video...

Rather face them than Saints tbh. Saints will be harder game for Leeds than Giants. Even though Saints have been poor at times they have the habit of turning up when needed.

Not sure we listened to the same commentary given some comments here. I though Carney showed some bias towards us (as you might historically expect).
Its hard to compliment wigans kicking this season, and while most of the tries tonight were far out, we surely all agree that Bowen is not Pat.

Carney has to be as neutral as he can while commentating, but personally I thought we got a decent shout from him tonight. Would SW have commented differently, he would surely be as critical in certain areas.

Clueless is not a word to describe us its worse than that. We have no idea how to break a line and to play Burgess as a centre on the last round of games is a waste.
I'm always amused by comments like these... 40 mins away from potentially winning the league, anyone would think we were Salford.
Its not about winning anything that comment. For me finishing top is not that important its nice but GF is far more important.

We could finish anywhere in the top 3 next week is far more important than this game.
After the 2 tries we have not created a break and the shift to the right as Carney says is not working. Only break was Bowen's burst. Cas has controlled that second half and we have to improve if we are to make even the GF.

Clueless??? That was the word used, bottom line Wigan have come very close to winning the league again. Hardly clueless

On top of second spot in the league the clueless Wigan posted 47 points tonight: get agrip and support our team

The point he was raising was that after Manfredi and Bowen's try's where was Wigan's attack for the remainder of the first half?? Castleford placed real pressure on the Wigan defence and came up with two trys of their own (one of them very soft).

Not arguing we finished second in the league BUT finishing second in the Grand Final is nothing is it not?

I am sure this was highlighted by Wane at half time to the players. The ptb was slow, the forwards not direct or hitting the advantage line. It was the sinbinning of Solomona that opened the floodgates and we cannot rely on that happening next week. We must and need to be more consistent for the full 80 minutes and control the game for longer periods if we are to win through (and repeat for the Grand Final).

Criticizing other posters for not having the same opinion of you is becoming an increasing habit in this form overall. It is about opinions and we all support the same team irrespective of how well we each individually think we perform each week

Everybody is entitled to their view.

The reality is we lost the LLS v Saints BUT I would rather win a GF than the LLS (even that was CLOSE)
