Men against Boys tonight.....and the Boys won

Stevo didn't seem to enjoy Leeds winning, but hey ho

Tonight reminded me of playing football when I was younger with the 'Goalie when needed' rule where anyone went in goals. Tonight Leeds played 'Hooker when needed'

Nice to see Webb back, and he clearly enjoyed it.

Well done. Bring on the Scousers.

Should be a good game next week! Especially if Senior and diskin are back but i am concerned about Ali!

It worked didn't it! If we play that good without a 'recognised' hooker, how good will we be when we have Disko and Buderus fit?

Thought we out played, out thought and out muscled Wigan tonight. Though the two disallowed tries for Wigan going the other way and it could have been alot closer.

Word of the season, defence.

Great effort by the boys tonight i expected a tougher game tbh but when we turned the heat up the pies(including skeletor) couldn't handle it!
Again our youngster's stood up and our centre's put in another strong display imo great to see webb back and what footwork from kylie
Roll on next week.

Quality wise it was a very, very poor Wigan outfit tonight. Leeds were a bit better but jeez how long is it going to take to get a decent game of Rugby League on this season. Early days and I'm really not that bothered as long as the results alright but it would be nice to see a quality game sometime as well.

As for the centres, Gibson is offering very little. No pace, no size, no power, no presence and no comparison between him and Watkins. It should be easy to see why Gibson has struggled to get much of a run for such a long time even when available. Watkins was loose tonight with a few handling errors but shows glimpses of what he could be and if he keeps himself fit and grounded he will have a big future, hopefully with Leeds.

I note when Lee Smith went to three late on he over-read a Wigan play that allowed Hock to get on his outside for a walk-in. A shame because his dummy half work in his first stint meant Diskin, Buderus and McShane weren't missed.

They were poor because we made them look poor imo tvoc.
I honestly don't see what the problem is with gibson mate he's still coming back from a long time out and imo put a good effort in tonight!!
