Defending the cup I think a different Wigan will turn up Wigan by 20. 

[spanishknight]

Wigan by  8

[OnStrike]

Can't wait for this one. Leeds by 6

[muckymunksy]

Trouble in the Leeds camp Newman and O Connor asking for a transfer according to one of there players. 

 

Wigan just 

[ivans82]

Normal service resumed , comfortable Wigan win .

[WN83]

Not a clue what to expect after last week. I thought we were saving ourselves a bit, even at 14-0 but our confidence and by the same token, Leeds confidence will have changed drastically on the back of that second half. 

I wouldn’t be surprised by any result.

Hopefully Peet will get a positive reaction from the players after last weeks horror show but Leeds will have their tails up & playing at home I think they’ll nick it.

We’ll definitely see a reaction in terms of energy and physicality (which even at 14-0, I thought were lacking) but I worry about the confidence now, especially in regards to Cust and Smith.

 

In general across the whole side, we don’t seem to have a player who can throw accurate and well timed passes, that can open up defences. You don’t know if a pass from French, Smith, Cust (or Field when back) etc will end up hitting its target, fly over players heads, hit the deck or like last week, get intercepted. It’s my main worry in regards to challenging to win trophies this season and I’m torn now on the need for a new halfback going in to 2024.

Aiden Sezer might be a free agent come end of season.

This just feels weird! Hope he can stay injury free

[Tippytoe]

Gannon at 6 Sezer 7 hope they don't play at 6s and 7s.

[Damien]

Peacock with a damning analysis of Newmans attitude. He's not wrong either.

[Barry Badrinath]

Well that arm looks a bit knackered 

[Damien]

Woeful defence there

[JohnM]

Looks like a dislocated elbow. Triple ouch, I'd say.

[Futtocks]

Wigan a bit too eager to throw it to French as a first resort.

[EastLondonMike]

Terrible start from Wigan.
