Sat 5th Oct: SL SF: Wigan Warriors v Leigh Leopards KO 17:30 (Sky/BBC)

Sam Walters POM, really?

[EagleEyePie]

Walters did well considering he was called upon late and took his 2 tries well but there's not a chance he was man of the match. French put his tries on a plate. French or Nsemba definitely the two best.

[Coggo]

Is that Josh Charnley or just some bloke who dresses like my 14yo daughter?

[Thunder Road]

Well done Leigh.  

We will be back next season. 

I'm proud of  our effort and drive over the course of this season.   

 

 

[JohnM]

Did I hear that right? 12 players leaving Leigh?

[Thunder Road]

I would  say if it's 12 then so be it..

The Leigh management structure got it better than most teams this season , so in Lam & Chesters we trust..

Your sympathy please, for the people watching Strictly on BBC1, who missed the best footwork of the weekend.

Nsemba for me. Tackled everything everywhere. Made big yards, breaks like a centre to lead to a try, earned’six against’ by being unplayable. POM by a mile, for me.

Ooooh. You're wasted on here. Someone really should use that.

[SUPERSTUD]

Not a patch on last night’s game. Leigh were woeful with too many mediocre players in the team.

Not doubting that. It just seems a big hole to fill.

Liam Marshall’s daughter is after a tv career. He did well to keep hold of that microphone. 

[Wilderspoolmemories]

I thought wigan would win by 20, but they managed to almost double that. 

Leigh were embarrassing! 

[Dunbar]

A complete performance from Wigan.

Smothering defense not allowing Leigh time to breath, good completion and discipline with the ball to win the arm wrestle and then individual brilliance or team execution to put on points.

 

[Thunder Road]

Too many difficult games in the run up with a smaller class squad than  that of the top lot.

Playing 

Wire.

Saints 

KR

Then Salford has just emptied our tank.We had players out and players just spent after a very hard season.

Easy to say we were hammered but take the positives forward  . .

Bevan French is just a joy to watch.  Him and Field are mesmerising at times.

Having dragged myself out with a raging throat infection when i should probably have been in bed, not sure I can remember a game I've more looked forward to being over. Woeful on the night and the completion rate was horrendous, 38-0 flattered us if anything. Always thought tonight would be a bridge too far though, good luck to Wigan and KR in the final.

Shame it had to end this way but it's been another good season of progress for the club and looking forward to a flurry of signing announcements now the season is done for us.

[Snowys Backside]

Wigan fever yet again but missing 3 key players not helping. 
 

Inside ball again?  What’s that all about?

Well done Wigan. Awesome team and Leigh leaving their worst performance yet again against Wigan. 
 

Nsemba is just Awesome. What a future

Will have to watch it back but personally I thought Field was comfortably the best player on the pitch watching it live. He's mixed his game up this year and because teams try and close him off, he is feeding those lads on his outside time and again. He's not been the best full back in Superleague this season but overall, he is the best IMO. When the biggest games come around he's a joy to watch.

Never a contest. Wigan far too good on the night. Shame but these things happen. Hopefully the final will be less one sided.

Congrats to Wigan, and to Leigh for their season as a whole.

Get better soon. Big effort from yourself.

Well that was an anti-climax after last night, was really looking forward to that one, Leigh may as well have been in my conservatory with me tonight!

   On the bright side look how far Leigh have come in 2 and a half years since Fev beat you in the mud first game of the season.Leigh in the play off semi and well deserved and Fev 6th in the Championship.Most Championship supporters are behind Leigh and Hull KR and wish them success.

[DoubleD]

Leigh needed their big players to stand up. Unfortunately, Ipape and Moylan had shockers, not seen Ipape play that poorly before. Terrible distribution from dummy half. He was like a headless chicken. 

And they never gave themselves a chance with the amount of errors they made
