Surely Partington best numbers in his senior career. Shows how the bench changed the game.

Not many prop forward groups I’d swap for our guys in the league this season. Probably top 3/4 group (Saints, Catalan, Hull probably up there).

Was probably bottom 2/3 last year.

I’d be sad to see Ollie P leave. The lad is Wigan through and through but you can’t keep them all I suppose. You add Cooper in to the mix next season and it’s as good a prop rotation as I can remember us having for a long while. They’ll be fighting each other and you can already see that. It was a statement performance from Partington and on that form why couldn’t he got for Mago’s place, Byrne’s place etc. He spoke so well after the game as well, saying how by him playing well, it can hopefully force others to do so and if he still doesn’t get picked then so be it and he’ll still be doing a job.

And that in itself is quite a thing, considering where we were last season.

Great numbers again from the front row. Havard we've come to expect (which in itself is ridiculous for a 21 year old prop!) but Partington at 100+ too is a great effort. Byrne and Mago having a big impact with 11 and 9 metres per carry.

Our pack seems to be getting better week on week.
