Yes, really impressed with Forber; for a little guy, he has a great tackling technique. Also Dupree, who I thought was excellent tonight.widdenoldboy wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2024 10:04 pm Was expecting a very tight game at least for 50/60 minutes, Leigh were the form team and made short work of Salford last week.
We just looked a class apart, very patient and professional and then cut loose at will - a memorable performance.
Hard to fault anyone, picking just a couple of positives - Forber's defence was superb and glad for Walter's performance - hopefully he can kick on from that.

Re: Play off semi v Leigh
We did play well but I also feel we definitely have that extra gear or two. Leigh were disappointing last night but it's completely understandable with the injuries. As many have said it seemed to be a step too far for Leigh and they looked knackered after about 20 mins.
It's still very pleasing to nil them in such a big game and to run away with the score in the end. Very pleasing all round

Re: Play off semi v Leigh
We were really on it from the start. Focused, intense and meant business. Leigh just couldn’t live with the pace and ferocity of Wigan’s play, and they had an off night due to the pressure we pit on them to defend. It was a performance you’d expect from the best team in the country so very pleasing all round.
Really pleased for Walters who, in my opinion, should be in the team every week ahead of Byrne.
Just need one more performance like that next Saturday and it’s the perfect season.

Re: Play off semi v Leigh
One thing confused me. When Marshall dropped the ball and it was given a knock on, he was facing his own posts.
How can that be a knock on?
We were always taught to catch the ball from a kick off facing our own posts, so if we dropped it , it was play on.
Have the rules changed?
There was another odd decision from last night, but i've forgotten!
