Leigh are the bigger/better RL story here, and rightly seem to have approached this week with some trepidation. Even the leopard print maniac has kept relatively quiet. It’s, of course, all about going there and doing the job before you start the party.
Rovers players on the other hand spending *an hour* being sung to and taking selfies for their send off, then stopping at the top of the lane to see the oldies in the care home as well, anyone would think they’d already won it. I work in Manchester with a few Wigan fans and they couldn’t believe it, still they won’t back Leigh any time soon.
Hull were probably guilty in 2013 of making too big a deal of getting to Wembley and then getting overwhelmed on the day.
I hope Rovers lose and when their ground is a new build estate they name a street Briscoe drive.
