On my return home from Old Trafford last night and watched the entire Sky Sports production. I spent the first hour laughing my head off at Phil Clarke's wisdom.
After the game I think he mentioned that he thought Leeds were the best team of the last 40 years. Was I dreaming at this point?
His exact words were "arguably", so at some point he will almost certainly argue against that they're not.
Keep that door slightly open Phil.
Honestly, I don't think it was a particularly good game. There were some intense periods but there were a lot of unforced errors. Wigan were effectively shut down for long periods of the game and when Leeds scored on 63 minutes they crumbled. The last 15 minutes were probably hell if you were watching live but on replay Leeds killed the game stone dead and Wigan had no ideas and no gas left. Most of that last period was played 20 metres from the Wigan line.
If I were Wane I would have been wondering where all my leaders were hiding. Apart from giving Mags a trademark facial while he was on his back the Wigan skipper did a Leon Pryce. Only George Williams looked a threat.
