That was ridiculous from French 

[andyscoot]

This is where Wigan need to be practicing good discipline and possession. They won't get let's offs like this and the game will be loads tighter

 

Edit: Before Bevan does something ridiculous!

Brilliant from Bevan

Followed by a mention of Martin O'Fire in the stands. No relation to Martin Offy-ah.

Not sure, but I think Martin actually changed the pronunciation of his name to fit the  way the rest of us pronounced it.  Not worth sweating about. Who in here pronounces Paris properly ( Paree) or Munich ( Munchen,) 

Still , looks like Wigan are likely to win, despite on of the BBC Radio pundits calling it variously  Wiggin and Wigun.

[StandOffHalf]

A moment befitting the occasion from French.

Magic deceptive dancing. The only player in the comp who can do stuff like that.

Leopards (and indeed Jaguars) manage it.

Fair point on the leopards. But jaguars don't have leopard-print coats...

Unless they're in disguise...

[Agbrigg]

On a positive note this pumping is good preparation for the Leigh players on their way to Hull

[Just Browny]

Good skill by French. This second half has had the intensity of a January testimonial.

[gingerjon]

Only thing keeping the score down now is that Wigan are taking the mick.

[Futtocks]

Robbie H-P gives PotM to Sam Walters.

[bratman]

Great finish from Field

[fieldofclothofgold]

My God great stuff 

[N2022]

'Let's check for grounding' ...

[M j M]

Three walkovers and a week off might not be the best preparation for a Grand Final?

Alternative view: Wigan's defence is impregnable, Hull KR have no chance whilst they're on this form.

[Exiled Wiganer]

It is by no means a fair reflection of Leigh’s talent. Their performance here recently was as intense and close as any we have had this year. They have had to play win at all costs rugby for too many months. 

[StandOffHalf]

Beautiful floated pass from Lam. Didn't look forward, with the passer running on to end up two or three metres in front of the catcher.

Field skins them to score down the left. Nice to see a beaming smile from Peet.

Congrats to Wigan. They have some very good and exciting players.

[JohnM]

I expected a much closer game. Quite surprised at such a comprehensive defeat. 

[Just Browny]

First tackle McIntosh has made tonight.

[Futtocks]

Fantastic professional showing from Wigan.

Leigh were running on fumes for a lot of that game. It's been a much tougher season for them than last year, but they still stayed in the playoffs longer than some more established giants of the SL era.
