Leigh have had a couple of games already haven't they? Beating Saints in the progress?
I thought we looked far more assured despite the ring-rustiness. Not exactly fluid on the attacking side, which was understandable for the first full paced hit out, especially in the rain. Looking mar more defensively cohesive than we did this time last year, and also handling the pressure better the things don't go our way. Shame about McGuire, hopefully what he said wasn't too bad and he gets sending off sufficient. Especially when you think about some of the dangerous tackles that players get away with. In a way I'm glad he gets a bit passionate about the game - something we've missed the last few years in on-field leaders. As long as he learns to channel it in the right way after this little misdemeanour.
I thought at times we looked quite decent with ball in hand, particularly the last try we kept it alive. The double kicking threat from Williams and Drinkwater looks handy. Ratchford looked sharp for his try.
Leighs break down the middle just before half time was a missed tackle from Kasiano I think and we werent lined up quite right. Leigh were well up for the game. The ex Warrington players were pretty anonymous I thought.
Little bit of biff as passions were raised which was nice to see.
We looked fit and conditioned.
