I thought it was a very determined effort from our boys - not the best by any standard but more than enough to see off a very determined Harlequins team.

David Howell's elbow on Sam Tomkins was nothing short of disgusting IMHO.

David Howell was disgusting, completely unprovoked. TBH a punch would have been less disgusting imo.

Thought Amos Roberts tonight was fantastic in particular, has grown in confidence the last few games and i believe we are genuinely starting to see the player we expected.

Also thought Riddell was improved, but the stand out players were Roberts, Bailey and Carmont.

Agreed. AR is turning into a great player for us, Bailey was solid from start to finish and was involved in someway in nearly every try.

Thought it was an all-round good team performance, not many stand-outs but I'm pleased to see that finally we seem to be working as one unit.

First of all, what a boring game.

Secondly, I thought Lockers, S. Tomkins and Tommy played very well as did Phelps and Bailey.

To finish with, Ganson didn't do much wrong and finally, I would like to ask the woman sat in front of me to douse herself in something more fragrant than the cheap perfume crap she had one. My lips went dry from the aroma.

Had a good outing at the JJB then?

It was alright. I'm bunged up with Hayefver and the ONLY thing I could smell was the perfume. It was like she'd had a bath in Asda Cider.

Good for 15 minutes very average at best for the rest against a very poor Quins. Seemed to be a case of typical Noble tactics, we went out there did enough to win the game then simply shut up shop and let them come back at us.

Locky was superb again easily the best player on the pitch, Bailey was very good as was Roberts.

Pryce still flatters to decieve showed his power on a few occasions in defence and going forward but is so badly unfit it is ridiculous, questions need to be asked of the staff as to how he has been allowed to get in that shape, he is blowing too much to get in the right positions or help out more on the drives.

Over all very dull game but a decent win for Wigan, again ther game tonight highlights the bigger issues with the SL.

We were great first half and went off second.

To only win 16-6 in 40 mins against 12 men was rather poor tbh. The win was all we needed though so I am happy.

Great effort and there was some very positive performances.

No complaints from me. Actually except when i saw the replay of when Sam got sin binned it looked like he was just saying 'ok sorry' with his thumb up then Ganson just put him in the bin for that

Both the last 2 home games against Quins tonight and before them the Mighty Salford have been very similar in that they've been all but won after 20 mins which has led to the rest of the game being scrappy and not the best to watch.

I'd settle for it every week to be fair though

That was pathetic of ganson

can be expected from a wigan fan but I thought he milked the situation

but that's just my opinion

Not to mention all the shocking knock on calls and forward passes from both teams.

It was.

Trust me I know Ganson (very well).

Not unexpected but woeful.

you run and let someone elbow you in your face and see if you milk it.

I thought that tomkins was very lucky to not get seriously hurt, cheekbone could easily have gone there imo.

tell that to sculthorpe he's still licking his lips from the studs from his boots, don't get me wrong the lads quality but that was a dying swan if I've not seen one before

Yeah being blasted in the face by someone's elbow...Yeah he well milked it.

My lad had a theory that Sam T was sin binned because Ganson saw the Saints score and had a hissy fit because we were all chuffed.

yes he did, manage to get up and have a dig himself

Think you are way off the mark there, Howell made no attempt to tackle him, he simply threw the elbow at Tomkins jaw, one mof the worst i have seen personally, up there with Cassidy on Morley. It was a deliberate calculated head attack in my opinion, no attempt at all to make a legal tackle.

He will get 3-4 games minimum.

may not of been legal but never said that Howell was innocent, but had Tomkins got hit right, he wouldn't of got up and then jump on Howell in the fracas, I personally think he is showing his immaturity as a young lad, it wasn't a Mike Tyson howlizter was it

Mate he came back into it very late in the fray once his head had cleared, as he was so ed off and righfully so. if you get hit on the jaw by a loose flying elbow. It was a deliberate head attack no attempt at a tackle at all.

Throwing an elbow at the jaw like that is about as bad as it gets the contact does not have to be significant to cause major damage and leave you concussed.

so its immature to get up off your back after someone as cleaned you out and have a go back. bet all the bullies had a good time slapping you daft didnt they. just imagine them hey up heres snowie lets knock seven bells o e out of him he thinks its immature to hit back oh dear me

I will watch it again tonight , but I don't think that a rugby players instincts is to smack someone on the face intentionally with a forearm smash, there a few players that go leading in with the arm raised with the ball just as bad in my thoughts, there seems to be too much head high tackling of late

On first view at full speed i was with you, but on the replays he clearly throws an elbow, not even lead with it, he thows an elbow right at Tomkins jaw. Was like a cheap shot in a boxing match.
