Wigan 16 Hudds 20

sounded awesome on the radio. Many heroes and great team performance and spirit.
For those who went - how did the17 look in the flesh?
MOTM?

Sounded a great game on the Radio and it's a fantastic result for you playing with a depleted side. Well done.

Lovely jubbly, picked up the 5-1 Giants on betfair. I just had a feeling there might be a shock as

1) wigan were woeful against Salford (who are pants).

2) Don't rate shaun wane. An average player and no sign that he is anything more than a good youth teamcoach.

Well done Giants

Amazing what the kids can do given half a chance!!! Wigan showed last year at our gaff, Saints did it all season and now the Giants have a great result at Wigan.
Early doors and lets not get carried away cos will mean nothing if we go to places like Salford, Bradford and Cas and get turned over ala last season. But a very good start unexpected by most pundits and fans alike.
Hope the likes of Eaden, Fairbank and Walker finally get a fair crack of the whip.
Massive massive well done to the lads today.

Amazing result. Well done. Guess your in for a good season again.

Congrats on your win.

Your defence in your own 20 was superb.

Roll on Bill Arthur and sky at 10pm....

well i didnt see that coming....awesome today! every player from 1 to 17 played very well

tomkins still wondering which way patrick went!!! right infront of the giants fans like his try at leeds last season...awesome

shame on you that didnt go!!! the ones that were there though were brilliant today



cant wait till out first team gets on the pitch

brilliant performance by the lads, wasn't expectin that, we came out and tackled them into submission ... Eden was superb at full back, Jerry was a handful as usual and walker and bobby fairbank certainly staked a claim for a 1st team spot!
good support by the fans too and never got on their backs !
luckily my ticker held out in that last 5 mins ... great start !

How many giants went? Living in London couldnt make it but will be there Sunday!

200-300..

I'll hold my hands up & say that I went over to the DW this afternoon just hoping that we wouldn't get a tonking. However, what I had the privilege to witness was a team that was determined to win no matter what. Superb defence & some great attacking play too.

It was more about having a winning attitude than anything else. The young crop were great & Crabtree was an absolutely fantastic example to all. Robbo stepped up too.

A thoroughly well deserved victory for Fartown.

great performance by the lads today, i too, hoped we would give them a game and not disgrace ourselves but we more than stood up to be counted. our defence was brutal at times and our kicking game was very good,i think the fact that we had been written off by just about everyone gave us a boost and an attitude that we would not be beaten.
highlights for me were jerry smashing sky's lil darling and apart from his try he never came near us again! oh and larne's 2nd try, pure class!

I've been saying all week that we could do it, and we did.

No one MOTM today, there were 17. Brough's superb kicking, Grix a revelation at SO, George's try-saving tackles, McGilvary's catches at the end + his kick through, Eorl for playing 65 minutes. Leroy for playing the 2nd half with an injured knee. All the way through they were outstanding. With the team on display, this was a performance to at least match that at Headingley last year.

We even had to wait 75 minutes before the one man, 5 drives down the middle followed by a kick! The passing was slick, side to side, & changing direction.

If this is what NB meant by a new style of play and expansive rugby, then long may it reign!

The only downside was Wane's sour grapes on the radio interview when he said that 'the Giants have their style of play which slowed the game right down to their pace, meaning that we couldn't play our game'. Priceless coming from the kings of slowing the game down! Also the dummy runners were as near obstructions as they could be without the referee deeming them to be obstructing play - I personally thought that they were illegal and should have been penalised.
