Many good, fair-minded comments on here tonight. I watched the game on Sky - M62 closed - but with no sound on but for karaoke.

I think our resilience and determination or sheer will to win were tremendous, but am not sure if we'd have won without the 2 sin binnings. Still, I accept refs' decision when they go against us, so am happy to do the same tonight. "Look in tomorrow's paper "

I've already said that Wardle was my MoM, but Paddy M definitely turned the game round, and lifted the whole team. Junior had his best game for us, and Marshy and Field deserve mentions too. Bevan is coming back to his normal, outstanding form - I hope Harry Smith follows suit. Forber impressed at times, but understandably has things to learn, particularly on discipline.

Finally, Thompson should be given a match off next week - he was good, but not his best, and too much has been asked of him this year at 60 to 80 minutes a match for many games - give him a break, we need him for the GF.

Thats what I was thinking and couldn't put into words, we just suffocated them after they went 20-8 up.

Liam Marshall was excellent. Such a humble player. Awful head wound too!

Jodie Cunningham? Whats the point?

Jon Wilkin really hates Wigan.

Peters was a sore loser. Does he really think Matty Peet coaches Wigan players to fake injuries? Pathetic.

On the edge of my seat all night, probably for SuperLeague the best game of the season.

Harry looking scratchy but fresh in, also don’t think Harvard played the best.

I’ve got a feeling it’s all going to click next few games at just the right time. As someone suggested (sorry can’t remember who) Thompson should be rested. He had a phenomenal game tonight and is arguably one of the best signings we’ve had of late. Great to see Miski back on the scoresheet, hopefully see more from him too.

Come on the Wigan!!

Wilkin and Carney need to go for me. Wilkin just talks pure garbage and looks like he’s been drinking most weeks on air. Carney either just solely hates Wigan or just hates SL in general.

Correct. It was stupid from a seasoned professional.

The amount of times the ball is being caught flat, players unorganised, ball hitting the deck.
Mate, HKR were offside all game. If I was coaching any team then I would fine players who don’t lie offside, teams never concede more than two penalties for this infringement. It is common sense. I don’t know what touch judges do.

Could not get Wilkin flapping his gums on the Miski "tackle". Either it was good solid tackle and it hurt Miski (not one for play acting) or it was a shoulder charge and foul play and hurt just as much.

Come on Barney, that’s like saying if we don’t drop the ball and give away penalties then we win easily. Our forwards dominated their pack.
