Agree top 3 forwards for me were HH Mossop and lockers, lima good aswell but hansen my mom.

Very true, but I was surprised with Finch getting it...any half back would have prospered with such dominance up front. Just look how invisible Roby & Lomax were, virtually all game.

And still Fielden & Hock to come...

Soz for the double post bloody phone!!, finch getting better everygame he and deacs exellent also.

The halfbacks or outside backs usually get the awards though because they stand out more. With our props being spelled I think it was easier to give it to a player who had an impact all the way through the game. Lima, Hansen and Coley (who looked like he had been caged for a fortnight whilst having Saints-meat dangled in front of his face - he really got stuck in) would all have been worthy winners. In fact any of the forwards probably could have got it, but Finch deserves it and hopefully he might get a bit less stick now.

This shouldn't turn into a 'I told you so' contest but Hansen was outstanding tonight and was at Castleford last week. He works overtime in defence but thats something he's always done. It's his attack thats really improved these past 2 years and he's putting in some cracking drives.

Class player.

not one player had a bad game, great performance from the whole team.

Top stuff from Hansen.

You could give every player his own thread. Even Tuson was far better tonight but I'd still expect him to make way for Hock next week.

Brilliant from everyone tonight, Finch's kicking would probably have tipped it for me tonight as MoM, but maybe just because the pack was so effective as a unit making it hard to pick one.

Immense, lets keep this intensity over the next few weeks and make a break for that number one spot!

Spot on, top 3 players will be very hard

Been saying so for quite a while. If Hock goes to prop and Hoffman leaves he will be a very important player for us in the coming season. If the Hoff stays the competition for places can only be good and any player who fancies taking HH's slot will have to be very good.

Deacs controlled everything. Just edged Finch Mossop HH and Lima. Coley's hit was ace though! Smashed him

I don't agree with that.

You mullered Saints, but they were shocking. I'm not trolling, I just thought you never got out of second gear. Defense was immense, back to the intensity you displayed for most of last season. But you held a lot back in attack IMO. I think you can, and will, play much better than you did tonight, if you need to, which you didn't tonight.

Agree totally.

Top top class performance tonight.

The first game in which our pack has truly dominated in my opinion. well played to all the pack boys especially Jeff Lima who played his best game in wigan colours.

Mossop was magic tonight. As was the rest of the pack though.

Don't forget the number 18 played well also! Oooooo o oooo!!!

On a par with the St. George performance. Just need to start playing at this level more often. Still think there is more to come.

We won the game in the pack last night - exactly where I thought we might lose it.

First time I've seen our forwards really dominate a decent opposition pack (and saints had a very strong starting pack tonight) - just shows how good they can be when the attitude is spot on.

Agreed. And if he played like that every game I'd pick him every game. Last nights game was an excellent display of how to play RL. Not just from Hansen but from the entire team.
Finch was fantastic, hands off to Lima too.

bang on, 16 games into the season and that is our first decent league performance, can we reproduce it week after week now?

that was the first time we have looked like the Wigan of last year.

Mossop is having a great season. He is already a top class SL player and has so much potential, I'm starting to think we could have another Wigan legend in the making here.

Same for me.

HH was awesome, hes a class act

for me he is the unsung hero of our pack

Seldom gets the recognition his hard work deserves. Quality player.
