Great to get the win with all of those first choice players out. When we hold the ball and minimise the penalties conceded we're a good side. Sort out the defence and we'll be in with a shout of a trophy this season

Also I can't belive it was 2009 the last time we beat them at home

I'd written this game off when I saw both the sides, but was proven wrong, and happy to be too. Before the match I thought the Wigan forwards would be too strong for us but our lads really stood up. Some top individual performances out there too.

Hopefully a massive confidence booster for the tough run of games ahead

Talanoa made a big difference as well. Got the sets going on the front foot. Him and Fonua play a big part in how we play.

Spot on. We've missed their efforts big time. They make good meters every time, play the ball quickly and probably win a couple of penalties a match

He doesn't just run it in though. Always looking for the gap and weaving on his way to the defensive line. He made good yards and confused the defence too. Good tactic in my view.

Fair play to him . he had a really good game

I guess this means if you throw a punch and miss it doesn't count.

No mention of his kick on Michaels.

again they penalise outcome as opposed to what a player actually did/meant.
IF Minichello's arm had being broken it could easily have being a 4 match ban. it wasn't 'accidental' therfore a ban would have sent out a clear message that striking out with the foot or indeed going in with the kness as we see too often against prone players is not acceptable.
More weakness by the panel and yet conversely they continue to fail to see how the Watts/Gayle incident and others like it are by far the lesser by comparison.

For all Wigan's thuggery and attempts to bend joints in directions they won't go the only player who is going to get suspended is Farrell for abusing the ref! It really does show where the RFL's priorities lie, plays designed to hurt players (and the hit on Rawsthorne in the air by a player that wasn't even looking at the ball let alone challenging wasn't even mentioned as well as Tierney's other kick) are obviously of less significance than words alone. Now dissent does need stamping out but the sin bin is sufficient punishment in this case and I'll bet that this is the one piece of foul play that would get their coaches disapproval, it never pays off unlike their planned grubbiness.

sadly I can't say I'm at all surprised by the usual disciplinary whitewash for the cheating pies though, expected it and the only interesting thing about it is the "justifications" they come up with for letting them get away with it again.
