Never got out of second gear and didn’t have to. Good exercise for next week in that it was a fairly low intensity game.

Second half both teams were clearly just going through the motions with an eye on next week. Scrappy, forcing the pass and generally poor.

Whenever Trinity came back at Wigan they just upped it by having more quality in the team.

Think if Wigan had consistently gone at the very inexperienced right edge all game like they did in the first 15 it would have been a cricket score.

Job done and on to the next one.

Be interesting to see their try’s back to see who’s at fault. From what it sounded like they were some bad defensive reads from Wigan.

Still good win for us posting 40+ points. Should give us confidence for next week. Should be a good game next week. The form we are in we should give any team a run for their money.

Some very lazy defence at times.

Once we hit 18 after about 12 minutes you could see what was going to happen for the rest of the game.

Some great stuff today and some truly terrible. 40 points from a very patchy performance isn't a bad place to be.

KPP is one of our best players and needs to be in the starting 13 every week and luckily I think Peet realises this.

What an athlete

Not been today (bad fan), any injury/disciplinary issues ?

Not that I could see.

Sets us up nicely for next weekend.

Very enjoyable in the sunshine, though, and a good showing of Wigan fans. French looks to be having a whale of a time. We'll need to tighten up the defence next week obviously, but not too worried about that.

Tommy out for a couple of week but sounds like Cust will be ready for next week according to MP on Wigan TV

What happened to tommy?

I’d like to see Cust coming off the bench next week. It’s a big game but could open the score up when there’s a few tired bodies.

I spoke with Darrell Goulding last week, after the Toulouse match, and he told me that Tommy was a week or two away. I wouldn't be surprised to see him play next week.

I feel French at fullback with Field in the halves is starting to tick, the acceleration Field brings is great for either standing a man up or pulling a man in and creating that extra yard for those outside him.

It'd be tough on anyone to be dropped next week, if only one of Tommy or Cust returns next week, Miski is the one to miss out, tough call after 6 tries in 2 games.

We also have Ellis and Smithies coming back in to the team. We are definitely looking good for this game

Big call chucking Cust back in against Saints after a month out, ease him back in the week after

Be bonkers to move French from fullback atm - Field will be able a make a big impact from 6 over time. Not sure how Cust gets back in just now although I'm sure a spot will open up in time. For Magic though I think we're probably better off going with four forwards on the bench.

I think we will go with one of TL or Cust off the bench as it gives us so many potential options across the backline and at 9.

Off today I would do with Shorocks to miss out with Bibby back in the centre and Isa on the bench and Ellis in for Partington.

7,003 fans on today .

Partington might find he is up on monday high shot.

Calf strain in training this week, be a few weeks.

I think French is a better fullback than Field, links into the line better providing try assists more often but I feel we’re a better team with Field 1 and french on the wing.

Not convinced with Field in the halves, he’s a big target in the defensively line and isn’t really a kick threat. It’s fine in the low intensity games to play him there (actually it’s exciting seeing french and field being around the middle of the field).

In the big games I’d like Cust/Tommy and Smith it the halves with field at FB and French on the wing (with license to roam).

Crazy that I now view Smith as the undroppable half back. Goal kicking helps.

That being said next week id stick with what French 1 Field 6 with Cust maybe bench then returning next week.

He’s done some job Harry Smith to get in to a position where very few people would leave him out their best 13. I sit and think about our best side and he always gets in it and then I start choosing between Cust and Leuluai. To think he’s done that under the pressure he was under coming in to this season is extremely impressive.

Agree Re. Smith, when Tommy and Cade are fully fit it will be interesting to see how we juggle those 3 and French and Field. Smith has been outstanding this year and has showed some very impressive mental resilience to maintain his confidence through a very difficult last year - and a tricky start to the year.

I think Smith has to stay in the team. I think Tommy on the bench swapping for Powell at 9.

Unfortunately i haven't see enough of Field at 6 to see how long term a prospect he is there - my assumption is Cade and Smith will be the preferred longer term pairing, Field back to FB and French back to the wing. Very difficult choice between these two but I think French better on the wing than Field. Possibly the French contract situation will determine who gets the preferred spot at FB.

It's a complicated decision that Peet has to make and I'm sure he'll have one eye on 2023's combinations too.

For me, I'd want Cust back at 6 and continuing to build that partnership with Smith. He's got another year + one (not sure in whose favour) and that's the long-term partnership imo.

Depending on French's future, Field at 1 makes long term sense. That being said, French is in rare form at the min and some weighting has to given to this season. Saints look strong, but it's not OTT to say that with an extra injury or two it's a wide open race.

Field on the wing could be an option. I'm not sure what his positioning is like, or how much time he's spent there tho? French has plenty of experience on the wing, so that might sway the decision.

We’ve got so many options. Field has done a pretty good job at six but it’s clear as day that fullback is his best position. The way French is playing though makes it a real possibility that Field could see some time on the wing himself. You’ve then got Miski in great form, absolutely smashing metres out from our end.

Great problems to have!

One thing you do need against Saints is to be able to make yards coming away from your line - and with Thornley out Miski is doing a job there......but French is pretty handy and making yards in tight spaces too so I think he'll be most likely to move over to the wing spot.
