Thur 4th Apr: SL: Leigh Leopards v Wigan Warriors KO 20:00 (Sky)

[PREPOSTEROUS]

Leigh having a bit of a hangover from last season, they seem to have lost that spark they had in 2023.

[Dunbar]

That one's the worrying one for Leigh as it was straight through the middle.

[Padge]

Leigh defence there was awful.

Post of the week, Johnny! I quite like the retro look of his pulling them up high.

Stop that set by set Twitter coverage Degsy !!

[HullWire]

This is looking to be over by half time, wigan just went 90 odd meters to score through the middle

[Futtocks]

Ricky Thunderbox-Gogglebox strikes back!

Nice kick on the fly from Charnley to send the ball back infield.

I was just thinking this morning how adept wingers are now at kicking inside while running , often at full pelt , for great tries 

[PREPOSTEROUS]

Good, try from Leigh there, get a few more and we have a game again.

[Padge]

Quick thinking by Charnley, rather than go for glory the kick inside was a great move.

A glimour of hope. As a neutral, I hope they score again before half time

[StandOffHalf]

I think that was a legal PTB from Mago. If Wigan had recourse to a Captain's Challenge I think it might have been overturned... 

Glad that Leigh got over though, after Isa scored the play after a blatant forward pass.

Is that a Lee Glimour or a Natalie Glimour?

[dkw]

Not sure what Mitskis supposed to do there.

[gingerjon]

That’s a genuine attempt at a tackle, is it?

[Futtocks]

The Leigh fans' bloodlust is frustrated.

Yes , I don’t think that’s even a penalty 

[Wolfey Rovers]

So much for protecting players after the ball has been passed. We've swung completely in the other direction there.

[StandOffHalf]

Great hard shot from Miski! I suppose a penalty for the marginal lateness is justified, but it seems a bit of a case where it's penalised for force.

[andyscoot]

Miski had bent and gone into contact when O'Brien had the ball, how can he pull out at that stage?

[Futtocks]

That's a bad miss by Moylan.

Really? I mean, it’s definitely a penalty what with him hitting him late after the ball has gone.

By a fraction of a second, take it close to the line your gunna get hit. Could've been a yellow based on this season standards.
