Wigan v Leeds - What a game ! *spoilers*

[JasonE]

An absolute thriller,

Spoiler: spoiler

currently Wigan leading 23-22 with 5 mins to go after leading 17-0 at halftime.
Fielden almost back to his best which could be good news for England, McGuire dangerous for Leeds in the second half.

Spoiler: more spoilers

With Sinfield off the field injured, Rob Burrow misses a 40 metre penalty goal which would have won it for Leeds on the fulltime siren, but he missed and Wigan win. Hock on one leg - outstanding.

 

[Johnny_L_O]

Yes, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Spoiler: spoiler

As a Leeds fan I'm a tad dissapointed that the kick fell wide but

I love games like that. I was shaking when Burrow was lining up that kick.

I've edited the original post in case people haven't seen the game yet - a must-watch really for any Aussie viewers who can.

Sorry mate, tend to forget about that over here in Oz.

Sounds like a fantastic match - looks like the replay is Thursday 6:30pm Fox Sports 2 in Australia, followed by Harlequins-St Helens at 8pm.

Did timmy play?

 

[bartman]

No Tim Smith for Wigan until sometime after 15 July, as although his work permit has been approved he is now waiting on the visa clearance from the British High Commission in Canberra.

22,000 crowd as well...

Looks like there will be a three-way struggle for top place - pity the Dragons have such an inferior +/- in comparison to the others.

 

[bartman]

Catalans are on an odd point though I think, which could make the fight for the top two positions interesting...

 

[stormtragic]

sounds like a great game...big crowd too just what wigan needed

 

[dogz08]

just watched the highlights of the game looked exciting, but it dident look like there were 22.000 people there, there were alot of empty seats for a 25.000 seat ground

 

[The Tank]

Yeah the ground looked half empty. I reckon about 13k.

 

[roughyedspud]

just under 15,000 was the official

 

[dogz08]

they must of made are mistake cause it said on the super league site 22,000 people

 

[Evil Homer]

They did, it was announced at the game as 14.9k or something like that, which to be honest was a very poor crowd and below Wigan's average for the season.

Just a reminder for Aussies, this game is showing at 6:30-8:00pm tonight (Thursday) on Fox Sports, followed by the Harlequins game.

 

[JasonE]

Danny McGuire was fantastic in the second half, was great to compare him to Leon Pryce in the game which followed.
Two different styles of five eighths but both produced classy efforts.
