Having looked at the league table this year and seeing how we have won more games than we have lost, I'd pose the question do we really need Hansen at all?

Yes.
He'll be one of the first names on the team sheet when he's fit.

You're right, it was more tongue in cheek regarding a point that has been raised before

Hansen might be behind Farrell and O'Loughlin in the pecking order but he's still streets ahead of Tuson, Hughes and Burke. Lets not forget that we've been beaten by Huddersfield and Leeds, drew with Wire and Cas pushed us close. Plenty of room for improvement, even if it is a decent start given our injury situation.

We did play Catalans as well and that wasn't a bad result.
I'd take that score for Friday anytime!

I think he missed a tackle near the end of the first half! Get rid!

Definitely missed one today. Somebody got on his inside about 40 metres from their line about 10 mins before half time.

I'd make him do 20 laps in training to make it up to everyone.

Absolutely.

Faz has stepped up several notches this season for sure and his stats are freakishly good but of the two I am certain HH hits harder and is equally a defensive machine himself.

What I am enjoying about Faz's play this season though more than the defense is his running on attack. He did it again today and it was him who's diagonal run along the centre slot ultimately set up a Richards try.

The defence stat was always wrong according to the Wigan RLFC in house statisticians which says a lot for the quality of OPTA. He did miss one today but still played superbly.

Another quality game from Farrell today.

He'll never make it
