was so nice not to have any daft head contact issues tonight and a decent clean game overall. Far better to watch.
Absolutely but the head contact thing is not going away so I will be more worried next week if we pick up a ban for playoffs than anything else. Which is a ridiculous thing to have to bother about.
As to the game, it was fantastic to see the team come out of the blocks on fire from the start. None of the wake up in the second half nonsense. That performance will have scared the teams in the playoffs. I know Leeds are crap but that was the first team bar O”Neil (not sure Isa would get a game given Nsemba’s form)) and they played to their potential. Leeds had no answer.
As to Jake Wardle, how on earth did Hudds send him on loan to Wire and they not pick him up? He’s the best player in SL bar none for me. It’s hard to believe they both let him go and whoever brought him to Wigan deserves a medal.
We was red hot out the blocks tonight, didn't give them an inch, good contact and strong defence. I thought French,Marshall,wardle all top draw. Smith kicked them to death as well. Special mention to a player who I've complained about many a time....Bryne, thought his carries were excellent and he made plenty meters. A very good performance all round, onto the next one and let's secure that league leaders next week.

Couldn't agree more about Wardle, he is all class, isn't he; a pleasure to watch. The centre's craft, personified.
Wardle and Farnworth for starting centres for England, has to be.
First time in a long time I can say that we’ve probably got our best centre back pairing for England in a long time….
It’s funny before Wardle joined Wigan I really can’t say he was all that noticeable but boy what a player he is,best centre in the English game for my money.

Absolute genius from Jake Wardle for Marshy's try just before half-time.
Byrne has put in a shift since he came on too.
Only watched the game late last night after work.My question is SURELY jake is up there for man of steel.Even with the silly scoring system
IF YOU STRIKE ME DOWN I WILL BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE
Bring it on next week excellent game Thought French was outstanding my man of the match.All though All the lads played exceptionally well especially Wardle Smith and Marshall excellent 1 more to go for the Shield.I do wish it looked more like a proper Trophy more substantial.
Maybe the performance of the season. What a left flank we have and just to vary things - what a right flank we have!
Keep this form up and something special might just be on the cards, Nice to see Gary Connolly being interviewed at half-time.
more substantial.
