Tomkins is best mates with one of Leigh's subs tonight, and is a regular at Leigh home games when playing duties allow.

Thornley is his best mate {Andy, not Ian}

Hiya St annes boy, cmon Wigan dont need help and that ref caned us. The realisation was after rthe linesman deleted 3 try's he stood for a forward pass and the ref ignored him.

Fantastic turnout for a game we couldn't win, and I trust Trevor now knows the passion in our side of the borough

Total respect for what wane is doing and hope we can getcloser in the years to come - btw your fans were slaughtered tonight



I believe we got what we wanted, an easy win, opportunity to blood some youngsters, no injuries and progress to the next round and Leigh got a vital financial handout. Hopefully, Leigh can use that handout to start to compete with Halifax, Feathertstone and Sheffield.



Tonight was the poorest Leigh team I have seen. I obviously watch Leigh far less than you Leythers do but that team was as poor as I can recall.

As someone who used to follow GB and (latterly) England home and away I think its fair to say a number of SL fans do that, I once saw Cunningham reacting to a load of abuse playing for GB from Wigan fans





I remember having a blazing row in the South Stand at Headingly when Edwards copped virtually non stop abuse when putting in a cracking performance for England v South Africa in a World Cup game, now Edwards was no hero of mine (put him in a Wigan shirt and he was the biggest shyster going

) but if the players play for the country your supporting I'm a firm believer in you give them 100% backing regardless of club loyalty.

He's been booed at several England games including at Leigh, Leeds and Hull.

Fully agree.

If you think the referee was to blame then Leigh have no chance of ever getting anywhere. The referee was generous to Leigh tonight. He made allowances. It is a very simple rule, if more than one player is part of a tackle you cannot strip the ball. Imagine if the Leigh players had engaged their brain and stopped stripping the ball. Penalty count half immediately.



No slaughterhouse near the DW

I really pity you, I really do please contact childline on 0844 089776887678

I thought the Ref did us no favours by being a bit to keen on with his no holding on in the tackle which caned us with penalties or which allowed Wigan quick PTB's that they ripped us to bits outside from for try after try in the opening 20 in each half ( thought we held our own in both 2nd 20's though ) .



Good finishing though .

Made up with the lads last night, think Briscoe and Riddy deserve a special mention.

Brierley & Parker played well too.



I can't believe how big and strong Sam Tomkins is compared to a couple of years ago.



On the positives Wigan didn't really get anywhere through our pack, but the flair of the half backs and pace, strength out wide was way way too much for our slow back line, but as we've all said in recent weeks we need more pace out wide.



1890 Leythers there in the north stand (plus however many were down the side), and every single one should be there for the bigger game v Batley next week.



Flute song...only negative from the night.

Did you go to Hull KR over Easter? I was wondering how they would fare against "the best Championship teams", or even against us?

Wahey.



NON RELEGATION LEAGUE in capital letters.





Bingo.

I too was also very proud of the lads and our fans. However i do not like some of the songs we sing, i really dislike the flute and then in 2nd half a rendition of your going home to **** your sister. However overall happy today unlike after the shay shambles
