Yeah, it was petulant by Connor, nothing more really but should have been a Wigan penalty. Couldn’t believe they tried to make out that was a natural position to have your leg when catching.

Partington. Pointless.

How many stupid penalties...

Singleton, Partington, Powell and Smith. We are playing with 13 players with those 4 in this team.

Tonight, arguably Singleton has been our best prop, Powell looks sharp and has been better than Houghton, and Smith has done more than Cust. Mind boggles.

Mago needs a big 8 minutes here

I’ll argue. Byrne and Havard have been better. Both halfbacks have been poor and slow. Powell and Houghton are exactly the reason Super League is at the level it is. Honest and very limited plodders.

Blimey, Smith has saved us twice

Lucky to get the win there IMO. Attack was very one dimensional and lacked fluidity. Jai Field dug is out the proverbial again which isn’t a good thing.

Smith/Partington were very poor. I am struggling to see a future at Wigan for either of them and that’s a huge turnaround from what I was saying months ago about Smith.

Still, 2pts in the bag and a confidence booster building towards hammering those lot from over the hill on Good Friday

I actually thought that was a pretty good game, high intensity and good defence from both sides. Hulls front row pretty dominant and we struggled at times to make yards but after the Field try to level it up I thought we looked the likely winner and all the momentum was with us. Field is just a game winner and we are lucky to have him, he just needs a tiny gap and he’s in.

Before this game, most people were saying that Partington was much improved this season; certainly at the end of last season I didn't see much in him, poor discipline and not enough go-forward. But he has been better this year, if he's had a poor game, I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath-water. I remain unconvinced about Harry Smith, though. Hope Marshall is OK.

I’ll give you Havard - very good second half, poor (with Mago) after the first interchange.

Byrne & Singleton were both very good from the off - personally I couldn’t split the two for their first spell together. Byrne didn’t offer much when he returned.

There’s not too much more Powell could’ve done attack wise. We didn’t have many sets with quick PTB, and when we did he got us rolling very well (albeit without running himself).

Drop goal aside, I think Smith was the better of the two halves (agree neither were great). Most of the kicking, an assist, another would be assist to Isa which was an absolute walk in without the dickhands.

If we’re singling out individuals I’d go Isa, Partington, and Mago as the ones who offered least. I can see a back row of Farrell, Bateman, and Smithies once we have some centre options back.

Great game by both teams. Can’t fault the lads dug in and grinded the win out. Could have really done with Ellis tonight. FC in the form they are in are a scary team to go up against, power up the middle with pace on the outsides they are looking some outfit

And I don't really side how Willie Isa retains a place in the starting side.

Can anyone see who it is doing extra fitness on the pitch? Is it Mago or French?
