I'll give Quins some credit - they came out and tackled & ran a lot harder in the second half; their enthusiasm improved. Both teams then got sucked into a midfield slog-fest and made loads of errors. However, we were 42-0 up and going through the motions, as well as trying some training ground stuff for the last 50 minutes, no wonder we didn't rack up a cricket score.
And just as I was singing Childs' praises, he had about 20 minutes of brain-farts. Some comedy decisions, including when Sam got dragged behind the goal line. He could be a top ref but he's out of his depth at times.

| We shouldn't judge our game by Warrington alone but their desire to keep going whilst on top is a real weapon for them but will count for little when it comes to the play offs.
We are so frustrating in those situations though. We look like a side that has total belief in itself that it's miles better then it's opposition most weeks but then that makes us switch off to a very poor level. It would never have cost us tonight against a side as poor as Quins(who were worse then Barrow last week imo) but it has in the past and will do again unless we alter that.

He did...the best bit being when he tried to give a Quins scrum after Sam's kick hit him. Not sure who eventually corrected him, but he must have got a call from somewhere.

| Sorry happy clappers but taking the first half into the equasion, I walked away from the game slightly fustrated.
We should have kicked on in the second half yet seemed to switch off and grind the result out at a slow pace and in a boring fashion. I wouldn't have had a problem had the second half score been the same and we we're throwing the ball about and trying new plays, but we didn't. We knew the game was won and that was that.
Boring and effortless attacking-wise in the second half.

| We did ease off. But if by doing so we leave ourselves a little more petrol in the tank for the rest of the season remaining, as opposed to Wire who go hell for leather week after week. Something IMO has to give, you can't put in 100% effort each week and expect to continue doing so. If by easing off means we have plenty of energy left come play-off time, them I'm all for it.
Don't also forget there was a lot of chopping and changing in that side tonight. And you do have to factor in that we have tough game in the CC next week.

Champions demand perfection!
We're getting better each week but are still a way off our best and need to improve. That doesn't worry me though as it'll come but maybe it should worry the rest of superleague. We've been a way off our best this season whilst Saints, Huddersfield and Wire have taken the plaudits yet if we win our game in hand guess who'll got top?
Top whilst playing way below our best.......watch out superleague.

Fair point....but you'll have to improve if your going to get a result at our place.
Consistency and momentum going into the business end of the season is the key...I guess you'll be building steadily towards that. I just hope we haven't 'peaked' too early.

Its going to be great to watch isn't it and in all honesty I can't split us, Wire or Saints at the moment.

| The most boring 50 mins of RL I can remember. First 30 mins we tore them to shreds, last 50 mins, boring. Really boring.
The Barrow game was dull but this was on another level.

he should have/could have put pat in under the sticks if he'd passed........in 1st half.
but he did 1 good thing tonight..........he told the ref the rules.
we kicked a grubber around half way line..it bounced off ref........ball went to quins.......ref blew up, as per rule.......and gave a scrum to quins........after sams ear bending he changed his mind and gave feed to wigan

true..........players switched off, fans switched off...........was like the dominant days in the 80s.........get on top...go through the motions.
i commented to my young daughter at about 36-0........"its ok watching us run in tries, but after a while it gets boring, and i prefer tight games like the saints game"

I think that is pretty much how I see it. We could have scored another 42 but decided not to.
We did decide not to let them have the last word and the last try we scored at the end of the game was IMO something the players wanted to do and to get over 50 but prior to that I am sure the orders were to take it easy. I suppose that's playoff football for you.

I agree about the standards bit.
My friends laughed at me for going crazy when Quins scorred.
We should have kept them scoreless tonight and letting them score is simply not good enough.

It's certainly correct that's it's my opinion and your opinion holds no larger standing than mine so we stick with that.
I really though, do believe they are the better Rugby League team - not in any way do I like that or want it but I believe it to be the case this year

| Very dissapointed with the second half, I expected us to push on and rack up 70-80 points which we should have been easily capable of against a terrible Harlequins side. I thought with the game already won Finch had his chance to really shine last night but failed to impress in the second half.

They did but that was nothing more than a bad day at the office.
If we win our game in hand we go top.
Hardly a ringing endorsement for what some are describing as a dominant Wire side is it.
I can't believe some Wigan fans have been sucked into the year of the wolf BS.
