00:00Leeds Rhinos have been beaten here at Wigan Warriors tonight, 22-6, but certainly not disgraced, it was always given me a tall order with the top team that Leeds put out, a very strong Leeds pack, but a really makeshift back line, and other than two spells of five minutes where Wigan scored all their tries, two in the first half and two in the second, it wasn't an awful lot in it, Leeds really threatened the Wigan line, which is a concern obviously, but they were without.
00:30Hockey Miller and Jake Connors, so that was to be expected, but they avoided a milling with a lovely late try, I hope Jack Tindfield had a good game that half-back, missed a couple of opportunities early on, one in the first half where they made a line break and created an overlap with Robbie Coughley and shortened his pass, and that was just before the interval when they trailed 12-0, if they were in 12-6 or 12-4 at half-time, it might be a different story, Wigan had
00:59and Bevan French to Colin, who is obviously the best player in the competition, Leeds' ex-factor player Connors was missing, but I think they can take some positives out of it, it was a tough night for young Max Simpson, but he's going to benefit from the experience, I thought Chris Hankinson also at the full-back struggled early, but he made a good catch in the second half, and really growing confidence after that, I thought, and he scored moves his try, so well done to him for that,
01:29I thought, and I thought, and I thought, and I thought, and I thought, and I thought, that Leeds have got no major injury concerns ahead of next week's play-off, on Saturday, against St Helens, and it's likely they'll have the four players, key players, who's tonight back, including Ash Hanley, and Okinawa's also going to be available, as is Ryan Hall and Connors, so it'll be a different story next week against the game, an exciting week for Leeds coming up.
