Great spectacle for all Wigan fans, excellent free flowing rugby league.

Notable points:

Sam is becoming 'Hayne like' his link up, he understanding of the, his speed, his step are outstanding. If I was being really picky I'd say a little greedy at times, but wow, he's becoming, if not already one of the best in the world. Keep him at FB for me, his link up from a little wider is incredible.

Good to see Tommy used as a 9 and 9 only, IMO we looked more lively when he was at 9. Cracking game from him.

Pat, what a game. Did far more that score. Both he and Charnley provided excellent workrates.

Charnley is always learning and developing. First half nearly was caught out by Dobsons excellent kicks, but learnt and didn't let it happen in the second half.

Carmont-think I will shed a tear when he retires, another classy, skillful and professional performance



We won't always have it our own way, KR did play most of the game with only 2 subs.

Also I found it particularly pleasing to see the successful link up between Finch and Deacon. Some Barrett esq passing from Finch, he's setting into the team well. Great to see his class coming through.

Leuluai was much better at hooker and much better starting there. McIlorum was below par again and that's the only real worry I had from this game; he'll never be a top hooker if he stays inconsistent.

Charnley looked dangerous and was very aggressive with his runs. Prescott and Mossop were excellent in the front row and really dominated. I also thought it was noticeable how important Sean O'Loughlin is to the side. With Leuluai and O'Loughlin off the team looked poor and stopped scoring. As soon as they returned so did the points.

The Carmont try towards the end of the game was one of the best I've ever seen. It was so well worked and beautiful to watch. Had the names of the players involved been Lockyer, Smith, Slater etc. people would be raving about it.

Lockers is one of my favourite players at Wigan. massive in defense and can pass like a half. Someone who wouldn't look out of place in the NRL.

I agree about Prescott and Mossop, both developing very well.

Yeah, shows how much we missed Hansen

Yawn.

Mossop will play for England against the Exiles. Prescott might join him too.

Thoroughly enjoyed the match.

thought we were shocking apart from the first 10 of the first half and the last 15 of the second..Will watch it again

sorry guys, until the last 15-20 mins we did not play well. the scoreline did not reflect Wigan playing 'great rugby'. HR played the majority of the game with two interchanges and were out on their feet. Had we given Warrington that much possession and territory they would have torn us a new ass hole...period!

I do wonder why rather than get the ball wide we are going up the middle, that is confusing. Joel tomkins needs to improve at centre quickly. He is doing nothing there in my opinion, dragged into touch yet again, when will he learn.

I'll agree that Joel needs to straighten up a little when the ball's drifting out but his coming back on the left hand side of the field to support the Carmont try was outstanding link-up play.

He's far from the finished article but given it's his first season there I can't complain. Wonder if Gary Connolly's at a loose end and fancies teaching him a trick or 3?

Idont think we were shocking at all. to only let in 6 points shows we stuck to the game very well.

He makes errors, but it's a little harsh to only mention his dragging into touch. He was heavily involved in the last bunch of tries.

We can put that win entirely down to fatigue by the opposition if we want to, but that's never always the case. Besides, Rovers had plenty of possession and territory early on, but aside from that lovely kick by Dobson, they never looked like scoring. That was down to strong defence by Wigan.

I certainly never expected a 34 point win tonight.

Agree with Cherry. I also felt sorry for the Hoff after that early knock on but he still worked his socks off.

We look a lot better with Carmont in the team I just hope we find a good replacement when he retires.

I didn't expect it but I was hoping.
We are now second in the table.

Heard one or two more mentioning Matt King. Can't see it though.

and non existent attack from KR...lets get real here, they were as threatening as butter knife, I hate to mention our friends down the M6 again but they have set the bar this year. They can attack and would have posted more points. I hope Wigan are simply pacing themselves for the end of the year but I do not think if we played them next week we would beat them.

why does every frikkin thread turn into a dire thread. if i want to read about the dire then i will go onto their forum

I dont really rate him and he will cost a packet.

I disagree, I thought we were excellent throughout. KR were out on their feet because our pack (especially Mossop) completely dominated them (and it was a great hit by Tommy that put Clinton out). Our left side was ripping them apart at will all game, and our right side joined in second half.

Apart from that one, well constructed, try, they never looked scoring, despite Bentham's frustrating refereeing, yet we could easily have had another 3 or 4 with a bit more luck (and composure).

because we should compare ourselves against the best and thats them on current form, when we sit here saying how f&cking great we have been tonight when we have not a reality check is required! so if you want to ignore the fact they dont exist and we are the one and only, go ahead.

I hope we stuff em into the middle of next week but I cant see it currently.

Yes we know there are there , every frikkin thread says they are there. WE KNOW THEY ARE THERE, that does not mean we have to derail every thread and bring them into it

sam.......getting better at llearning when to run, when to pass.......first try alone was worth entrance money
charnley.........reminded me of Billy Boston when he was biggish........hes like a tank........and he'll get better
Joel........briliant at swswitching wings to play as extra 2nd row and create overlaps
tommy.......right position
deacon.......passing wasa awesome
finch.......had a stormer
paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.............was paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
carmont....showed how much we missed him last week
rest of team..............brilliant

overall...scrappy in parts....can still improve

It's a strange contention that Hull KR's failure to score had nothing to do with Wigan's defence. But by the sound of it, your mind is made up not to be pleased by tonight's performance despite the clear improvement we've seen on the last few weeks, and the much more telling contributions from Tommy and Finchy, so I guess I'll leave it there.

oh ok, we were f*ucking amazing tonight, no one holds a torch to us,the double will be no problem, bring it on. every player 1 through 17 was awesome could not ask for more, we clearly toyed with KR effections betweeen the 10th and 65th minute.
