Morgan Escare could make the difference.

Had a solid game. Been pleasantly surprised with his start to the season. We need to give him a contract extension as soon as possible before he gets snapped up by someone else!

Outplayed by the Pies, both teams shocking with ball in hand & the Hunch Back of Oldham did his best to only give us 6 or 7 at best instead of the 10.

Didn't see anything to suggest Wigan were World beaters or Leigh whipping boys either.

I think/know that Wigan had the edge on pace & game management, kicking game especially, 2 drop goal attempts 1st half though .... seriously.

How did Gelling stay on the pitch after deliberately kicking a ball on to stop play when Wigan were defending their 20 ? The most obvious professional foul play to stop the game & buy time for their defensive line to get set, should have been in the bin.

Having said all that, I don't think we ever looked like scoring, to much cheaply coughed up ball, especially 1st/2nd tackle on attack within Wigans 30.

We live, we learn.

Think 12-0 would have been a truer reflection of this awful game, when we (Leigh)had the ball, I was so bored.....'one man rugby/crap kicking game' Zzzzzz

Easy win against what looked like an amateur team..wish we could play those easy beats every week...easy win for the World Champs without leaving second gear...

Completely agree terry , while it was a 6 point game I was ' OK ' with conservative possession/field position play , once it went to 12 we should have opened up and chanced our arm

Bottom line is we are a SL team and we have to start believing it and fearing nobody , we don't know where or when our wins will come , so every game is a win if we believe we can do it , it really is that simple
