Home sweet home 

Very good performance all round - everyone - Lisone apart - made a contribution.  


The forwards were excellent and set a platform.  Not sure about the centres really work and Hall it looks a season too far.


Sinfield looks like a different player this year he added some quality when he came on and Lumb will be an international when he bulks up.


The defence was very tight all night and the willingness to chase back was admirable.


On Wigan - Smith is a class player

Looking at the stats our completion rate was only 66% and Wigan's 90%, despite that we still made 300m more. Half the ptb in the opposition 20 too.


Cut down the errors and the foundation is there.


Miller, Mik, Gannon and Jenkins have some pretty impressive numbers. Jake Connor involved in all out points, inked in at half now surely.

A good all round team performance, as it needed to be to get the result. No passengers apart from Lisone’s limited input, and some pretty strong performers out there. No mention of Bentley as yet, but I thought he really took the fight to Wigan in that 1st half, defensively and with his carries. I also think Miller is underrated in some aspects of his game, he reads well defensively, gets through a ton of work and is a durable fella. He’s made a big difference bringing the ball back. Lumb had another really good game and the pack  more than held their own which is encouraging. We are still struggling with the ball in hand near the opponents line and that’s a worry, so Jake Connor’s kicking from half back is going to be vital until we find a cutting edge. At least we look like we have something to build on and can at least look forward to The Wire game.

Agree with all the comments.
Watched it back this morning.
A great performance and a brilliant game to watch.


It's really showing what a quality coach BA is.
He's prioritised the line speed, the defence, the intensity and the workrate of the pack - and it's tremendous to watch.
Second week in a row we have matched the best two packs in the league.
Oledski looks a different player with a better pack around him.
Jenkins and Palaasia just look like very good signings.
And Bentley always gets some stick, but my god his workrate is incredible. He sets the tone.


Croft had his best game.
And it just looks like he will work well with Connor at 7.
Especially if the pack stay competitive.


Miller adds a different dimension.
Shame he's not quicker, but he's very elusive.
We just have to accept the occasional 'sevens' style brain fart.


I'd like to seem more of Jack getting game time, even if it is a stint at 9.
He's definitely got something.
And Gannon and Lumb are already giving a glimpse of the future - both will be regulars.


If we can go and back it up with a performance at Wire next week we have much to be optimistic about.

Oh and btw - it was brilliant watching Mik give Wilkin stick in the interview after the game. Superb!

How many minutes did Lisone play ?
I see O`Connor made 50 tackles.
Does anyone know how many Bentley and McDonnell made?
