Took total control tonight. Best game for Wigan IMHO. Kicks were superb.

Well done all the boys.

Deacon was indeed superb, back to what he was like in his Bulls days.

Happy for him, as a bulls fan.

I agree, his kicking was pure quality.

Sounds like Richards kicking wasn't bad either!

Hard to pick out anyone who did*nt play well for wigan tonight,,,,,very good all round..

Absolutely magnificent tonight. That's what we brought him in for, to start at 7.

It's useless bringing him off the bench to 7 and moving everyone around when the hooker goes off.

exactly what we missed last week! Well done Deaks!

Shows what he can do when he's not stuck with all the responsibility on just his shoulders, like he so often was at Bradford.

Quality, he needs to start next week



In hindsight probably not a good decision to get rid and ship out Orford. Although to be fair Deacon has had his fair share of injuries

He was a very shrewd signing, and him coming into form at the back-end of the playoffs is a good thing. Bradford would kill for him at the moment I reckon.

Start him next week and see what he can do against a good team. Hull were poor tonight so lets not get too carried away.

Credit where its due though his best performance in a Wigan shirt.

I didn't say starting him makes him a world beater, just that if you play him you have to play him from the start.

We can play rugby with or without him we have proven that this year. Be useful to have him around going into the playoffs in case one of the halves / hookers get injured.

Yes but our line defence isn't that good against the top teams, play well away from our line. None of our halves have had their kicking boots on this term, so even if he adds that it will be a massive bonus.

But Hull were awful so lets not get carried away, nice win though anyway
