Peet said their game plan was to keep it in the forwards more and punch holes down the middle which that did - so it was different to the usual route of scoring tries further out wide.

A few passes when we did play to the wings did go to ground but that's understandable since we had a new HB pairing and Zak playing out wide. Farrimond showed up well for a first proper run out and good to see Hampshire get a game.

Mago showed up really well, nice hands and good minutes again.

O'Neil really looks the part, both from a 9 and a leader now. Really determined, good talker and good distribution

Great to see Junior out there, came back sooner than I thought and very good timing for being match fit for the GF game.

It would be nice to see zak get a few games in the centre to see how he goes, looks quite a prospect and we need to keep a balance of playing him to keep him happy and our first choice centres on the pitch too.

Ref blew far too often which spoiled the game a bit, especially for incorrect PTB's most of which looked OK (for both sides).

Despite the score I thought London put a pretty good stint in and looked sharp in a number of areas.

Said recently that Mago is like a new signing, mid season last year I would have got rid. It seemed that his effort and attitude into getting into shape becoming of a rugby player as well as his minutes on the pitch were severely lacking in all departments. Rumours were he had been sent away from the squad to train on his own, then following a couple of moderate to better than average performances an announcement of a contract extension was made, much to the dismay of many on here (me included) and around the terraces. Most of us assumed his mild improvement was to gain another contract and he'd slip back into his old ways.

Well he's certainly made us all eat our words, what a stunning turnaround. One of our best players on the field, looks like he's enjoying his rugby too. Fantastic to see.

Staying in England for an extended pre season was a pre condition of the new deal I believe. If he stays longer term hopefully he maintains this level of conditioning.

Agree with all the comments about Mago. He has a good pair of hands and can pick a pass; that is such a bonus in a prop.

Mago joint second in the Man of Steel voting, which is certainly a position I don't think anybody would've expected to see him in 12 months ago, even if it is only 4 games in (Realistically on a points per game ratio he's top given we've played a game less). He's turning in to a huge success story for the culture at Wigan and how it improves people.

Massive praise for the lad atm. I know it will always be in the back of my mind is he playing for the contract but could he say about anyone really. He looks a new player and I’m starting to wonder if the club have decided to slim all our props down to get those extra mins in them. Cas and that last game have been his stand outs. He knocked a few holes in the Penrith defence as well. Hopefully he gets rewarded with an extended contract
