Pretty sure they was booing the ref for the forward pass that led to the try.

It wasn’t forward.

I watched the Cas Leigh game as I thought the Wigan match would be a cricket score...

Castleford were well in the game for quite some time in an error strewn half which was being talked up by the broadcaster to something it wasn't (I nearly switched channels to BMX slalom badminton finals but didn't)

As the game wore on Leigh got their act together Lam deservedly MOM floating passes to Charnley they look decent ball in hand and just as importantly defensively strong gang tackling everything and anything.

On their day Leigh are a danger and a match for anyone who's not prepared to match it with them

Exactly why I said on this or another thread some days ago I don’t want Leigh to make it into the top 6. They are the team I fear most currently.

I’d rather Wigan win on Tuesday for that very reason.

Considering the off field turmoil they have had to deal with in terms of players futures they've done brilliantly. Key for Leigh will be keeping players fit, they seem to suffer more than most when they have key players missing.

Which is fair enough although to be the best you need to beat the best/whatever is put in front of you.

There's a case to be made for avoiding a few teams in Play Off rugby contention and daft as it may sound Salford have had a bit of a thing over us recently so if you could engineer it you might swap Leeds in for them but as we know Play Off rugby brings it's own pressures, the one off format amplifying potential problems with form disciplinary and injuries.

All I can say is at this moment and without getting ahead of ourselves, there might be a few wanting to avoid us.

i can understand the leigh hesitation, lots of bad memories of them from last year, plus the mcguire issues, i think its something we need to get over, i think leeds will take saints spot, saints dropping like a stone.

Wigan will win because Marshall is a rat. Was at it again last night constantly trying to get penalties. Worse than Charnley or Connor.

Saints players celebrating tries against Hull like they're winning the grand final.

Fans celebrating like they won the grand final against a team that only as 3 wins Wellens is safe now.
