On holiday in Santorini at the moment got my nephew who is house sitting to unscrew the security camera run a cable into the lounge and point it at the TV was able to watch the whole game on my phone (under a hat) from my sun lounger! Hahaha
Welski, did you play any part in the Hatton Garden job? Enjoy your holiday mate.

I thought the referee was fine today, Wigan were just better. The good news about Leeds is that the beer is good 😀

Cracking win!
Have to admit I was abit uninspired in the first 20 minutes from both teams, poor quality, but we grew into the game I just really took it to Leeds and to nil them at their spot is brilliant. Smith to lose his job?
Shame about Byrne has been in good form of late, got to say though I was on the floor in hysterics when Barrie said about him being the best prop in the comp.

I'll be surprised if we sign a 6 for next season as, despite being sceptical when the move was first made, I now don't see how we make much of an improvement on French. Certainly we aren't seeing the blistering runs that we saw when he was on the wing but I think we are seeing a much more rounded footballer who seems increasingly comfortable in the role. He also still demands attention from opposition defences which seems to be allowing more room for Field to be really influential in attack and Field's timing of passes, particularly to Jake Wardle, is superb. A top back-rower would though be a great addition.

Coaches often talk about "sticking to processes" and similar. I thought that the outstanding thing about today's performance was that we weren't spectacular, didn't try to razzle-dazzle, but stuck to the script.

If we can keep it going, we're in with a real chance this year - Saints are just past their peak, and Cats looked vulnerable when we turned up last week.
Wigan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saints ⭐⭐⭐

Oddly I think saints are absolutely on target for the grand final Catalan have wobbled but won again as we know..I said a few weeks back saints v Catalan in the final so I'll keep that prediction happy with the form since I said it,but whatever happens I'd be amazed if saints aren't waiting

That first 20 minutes laid the platform for the next 60. It enabled us to take the juice out of Leeds and we fully exploited it with some superb rugby.

If there is any way we can keep King we should go all out. He has become one of my favourite players and you can see he loves it at Wigan.
