A win is a win is a win… yes it is but was not very convinced on what I saw to-night .. in fact Hudds should have been 3 tries to zip early doors & Robinson was nearly clean through later on all in the 1st half as well! All a bit flat from us really performance wise

Most players I would give only 5 out of 10 except for Faz & Wills say?

Gelling was Gelling IMHO, snakes & ladders

Still in saying all this we have a brill home record but what do we take with us away…? Leeds ‘ere we come!

Great test, great character (after an awful first 20), great result in the end! No easy games at this stage especially when Hudds have a great chance of top 4, so superb win!!

Special mention to Lockers, Bateman, Charnley, MM, Sam P, Faz, Manfredi, Williams and Bowen again!!

Needs to improve are Gelling, Mossop, TT and Tomkins!!

The rest did enough!!

Absolute garbage.

No great forward running.

No skillful play.

No space created.

Completely boring as per usual.

I genuinely believe he could be world class in a few more years, just hope it is with us and not in the NRL. I wouldn't begrudge him going to that competition because for me he is that good!!

It wasn't absolute garbage but it wasn't brilliant either.

The ries we scored bar the last one were good and took some scoring against a very good Hudds defence. One of the few games this season I think where we have not tried to score off the same move every time.

The bad bits were the errors, penalties and the left of our defence which was shocking. Every try Hudds scored came from down that side including the last one as they got down our end by another break on that side of the pitch.

Final score Wigan 30 Gelling 22. :wink:

I agree tonight wasn't brilliant but some of our play at times was breathtaking, however some of our defence and in particular Gelling was awful! I think after 2 weeks off we are usually abysmal and lose but tonight was more about our character and desire which pleased me the most!
