[quote="DannyT":112q29ze]Was expecting a tougher game and we lacked sharpness and a bit of confidence in the first 25 mins or so but then found a bit of a groove and Hull couldn’t live with us in the back end (thanks to that daft short drop out too). Thompson is a machine, I’ve ran out of any superlatives and absolutely take for granted that he just turns up and is what he is. I think he’s dragging Byrne along too which is good because I’ve never been a fan but we need him with Havard missing and Dupree/Hill not doing much this week or last. Made up for Walters, we need him fit and firing so that edge can have a threat that Farrell doesn’t seem to give us these days. Miski and his finishing again though makes him look awfully unfit so some benefit of the doubt with his knee being strapped up but concerning long term. Hope everyone who is going to Vegas enjoys it and we treat it like a cup final. If we do, I don’t see Warrington living with us on that narrow pitch.[/quote:112q29ze] Thompson is one of the best props in world rugby, we took a massive risk signing him (I thought a risk we didn’t need to take) with his injury record in Oz and thought we might treat him a little like Lockers in his last few years and keep him wrapped up for the big games and business end of the season but the guys a machine and has stayed fit which is amazing.

Peet has admitted in his Wigan tv interview he didn’t get the timings of subs quite right last week. Nice to see all 4 get on early this week. Dupree had his best game for a while and Walters was a massive handful. Walters on the bench makes too much sense given his versatility.

Very impressive performance. Luke Thompson is unbelievably good. Thought Jai Field had done his hamstring chasing back Barron but seemed OK a few minutes after.

It feels like we've sorted of forgotten how good the lad can be because it never really got going last year for him but that's the sort of performance he's capable of. To have an absolute handful on the bench, alongside somebody like Mago could be a nightmare for opposition teams. You try and deal with guys like Thompson and Nsemba and think you might get a ket up and then lads like those are running at you.

Just been reading the Hull board (so good to see fans able to compliment the opposition, especially after a drubbing like that btw) and someone has posted that Wigan completed at 99% and made 1000 metres more than Hull last night. Outstanding.

Also watching the game back on YouTube, the gap in our line for their break from the 20m restart before their try was incredible [fimg=853,480:1vwsr59t]https://i.ibb.co/LXvzyQ7M/Screenshot-2025-02-22-124816.png[/fimg:1vwsr59t]
