Shhhhoooooooperbbbbbbbbb

Mickey is going to have a big bearing on our season.

Must admit I shed a little tear at the end of the game - new era is here!

Well done, you were superb. I think you'll win more than you lose at home if you can keep the atmosphere like it was tonight. It was refreshing to see how committed and enthusiastic your players were. Enjoyed the ground too, nice setup you have there.

I won't go into how bad we were on here, but Leigh were far and away the better side tonight. Good luck with the rest of the season.

Magnanimous in defeat there Saddened .....

Refreshing to have an opposition fan feel we won't get hammered every week.

FWIW, I felt the game was fairly even stevens, penalty count against Leigh was high, deserved or not I'm not sure.

The difference for me was Micky Higham & our last 'gasp' tackle, must have denied 4 tries tonight.

Great crowd on, 9012, there will be established SL Clubs that get nowhere near that all season.

Hope to see 3 > 4,000 Leigh fans at Wigan next week.

Onwards & upwards

Still a bit flat after that - a big win but just some things that still niggle.

Negatives:
- Thaler
- Our discipline
- After a 40-20 why the hell do we chuck it about on the 1st tackle, need calmer heads.
- AJ needs to stop being drawn off the wing, maybe he feels confident he's got the speed to catch up but its creating holes.

Positives:
- Great crowd, 9012 (?), well done Saints for coming out and North Stand was so loud my ears are still ringing.
- Our forwards were great, though Hoppy looked gassed quite quickly.
- Played fairly smart
- In fact the whole team were good, I think its now hitting that it was 2 points lost against Leeds.

MoM for me was Reynolds.
Hock, Green, Acton stood out too.


The interchange between Pélissier and Higham is fascinating.

Éloi gives that more speed, a kicking option, tackles above his weight and yet it seems the team is held together when Mickey is on, the crowd and the team react more confidently too.

To win against such a penalty count, was amazing
