Just a massive win today.

After a turbulent few weeks we needed it.

Just heart and guts on display just like the wins against Wire and Saints in April.

Now we have a few weeks to really hone the spine combinations before the semi final.

We seem to have a cracked the code on Warrington. Get the half backs to turn the backrowers back on the inside so their props have to make tackles then didn’t expect to have to make. Get big line speed on them as there backs aren’t great ball carriers, forwards are naccered from defending, they realise they aren’t making yards so force passes which lead to errors.

Simple but seems to be the blue print.

It was a game for work rate forwards today, Havard obviously amazing but Smithies, Shorrocks, O’Neill and Faz really stepped up too.

Glass half full view on the season now. Good chance of getting to Wembley and hopefully get a few league wins together and move back up to the top 4.

Dont doubt your information but just feels a weird one. Powell just seems the hard working family man type who’s been loved by his coaches and team mates.

Peet confirmed he was dropped last week for selection reasons but has been playing hurt with a shoulder injury all year. Now had an operation that’ll keep him out 4 weeks.

Peets kids both had Sam Powell shirts on so maybe they are friends again

O’Neill had his best game for us yesterday IMO but I’d still have Powell over Cust of the bench in a perfect world.

Famous win yesterday. To me, its always worth buying a ticket, because you just never know whats going to happen! Fought for their lives in every single tackle and its a performance to be proud of. They could of easily gave in after that red card off the back of last week too but they didnt, wonderful to see.

Think everyone at Wigan has always known Havard's potential and he absolutely showed it yesterday. The best performance from a Wigan prop forward in years. He has a big big future if he keeps playing like that. Thought Shorrocks was superb too, worked his socks off and made lots of cover tackles which stopped a lot of half breaks. Special mentions to Smith, O'Neill, Smithies and Faz who were all excellent.

Fantastic heart and grit to win that game. We saw from minute one how much we wanted to win that game.

A real coming of age performance from Havard. Just immense. Also, how good was French in defence?! We've stepped it up this year when we've needed to in big games, and it bodes well with players to come back over the next few months.

I hate the home cup/playoff games were everyone has to buy a ticket and it’s always an embarrassingly poor crowd but bit the bullet and got a ticket. So glad I did.

Not many there but the fans who were there were great and really got behind the team, celebrated every error like a try, supportive even after Wire tries.

Special day.

I also thought French was very good yesterday, really bent his back in defence, probably made more tackles yesterday than his whole Wigan career to date, wont get the headlines like he usually does, but worthy of a note is dispatches.

Agree with this. He did a lot of the tough stuff while looking composed and calm in attack. Be interesting to see if Peet sticks with him there.

3 match ban for Ellis misses Salford, Huddersfield and Wakefield.

Back for Warrington at home week before Semi

3 matches for that

Doesn't seem too disastrous then, we should still be winning 2 of them 3 without him imo.

I agree with gareth too, 3 matches seems excessive for what was (while really stupid) a seemingly light headbutt & after also being shown a red.

Whilst on disciplinary matters, Grade F questioning integrity of referee for Griffin, could be sat down for quite a while, Grade F for the Leigh player with the spear tackle

3 games for that seems excessive (especially when you consider it’s 4 games in reality) to me but that’s the modern game. Raise none ball carrying arms in tackles and nothing, clobber a half back around the head late and get 2 games but move your head towards a player squaring up to you, with that little force it’s embarrassing calling it a head butt and you get 3 games.

Only himself to blame but it’s all a bit confusing at the moment.

How Hardaker has only received 1 game for a suplex Kurt Angle would be proud of, I don't know.

That Hardaker one is another. Compare that to what Isa got 2 games for in the Wakey game!

When people call them out as bias against a particular team, I just don’t buy that. The disciplinary aren’t bias at all IMO but they are wildly inconsistent and seem to focus heavily on certain issues, while giving huge leeway on others.
