| Williams pass to Bowen for his first (fantastically taken) try was worth the admission money (well If we'd paid any) alone!
Maturing at a rate of knots is Williams.

| Good win and a good crowd all considered. Can't believe how controversial this became!

| Well that was a lot more than last week's trip to London! But of a shakey start but we played some great stuff in the second half. Bowen was imperious, Williams had some lovely touches although he did make a couple of bad errors. Gildart looked full of confidence and did everything asked of him, scoring one try and making another. Great to see a bit of spark and invention in our attack.

| Good 2nd half from Wigan. Bowen had another good game, made a great break off his line. Scott D was laughing at him as he caught him 20-30 yards out - quite amusing.
Gildart showed some nice touches in attack and did well in defence .

Great post. Bowen and Williams are our real attacking threats and both have to play well if we are to win at Old Trafford.
Williams is just getting better game on game, If Smith brings his, normally great, playoff kicking game we'll be great.
Bowen after a laughable Saints away match has turned it round and if he carries on this form til the end of the year he'll leave with fond memories from his time here. Would love his to get that GF winners medal his career deserves.
These two creative players, Smiths good kicking game, forwards to up the line speed intensity (like they did last year at this time) and the wingers to carry on finishing, I think we can trouble Leeds.
At the moment Grand Final wise I see it Leeds 60% Wigan 30% Other 10%. Hoping for another Wembley hangover!!

I'd put Saints well in the mix after last night. Their line speed was impressive and when they play with that level of intensity and aggression they're tough to stop because they have some really big forwards.
Their style doesn't suit us and I feel they have the edge yet I believe we can get over Leeds because they play a risky offloading game that will always give us chances.
Huddersfield in the semis followed by Leeds in the final would be our ideal route IMO.

Didn't see last nights match but yeah probably underrating them. Just what they served up the first 3 weeks of the 8s was just awful!
Agree I'd like the semis to be Wigan vs Hudds, Leeds vs Saints. Wigan Saints is always a coin toss it seems!

They looked back to the Saints side of the early season last night but it's tough to really judge against a Leeds side who's minds were clearly elsewhere and had rested players.
We've secured a semi final now anyway regardless of who we play so we're in the mix and playing pretty well.

I totally agree, Saints have not really shown anything to suggest that they can be taken as a threat. But who knows, i sense this will bite my bum..

| Leeds were poor Friday definite hangover from the CC and they had key players out, they were there for the taking. Saints did enough to win but we're not convincing Wilkin seems key to them and how they will fair in the playoffs. Match the pack and their backline struggles. Looking at points difference there is only 26 between Wigan and Leeds, Win the remaining games and Wigan have a good shot at top place.

That pass had my daughter leaping up with amazement - and she isn't one to overtly display amazement.

Your arithmetic is a bit out by a matter of 70 points. However Leeds have two away games at Catalans (never easy) and Huddersfield so who knows?

| I know people are praising Bowen and Williams (quite rightly) but I would like to give Larne Patrick a big rap also. Play him in the second row he's a different player. Never a prop in a million years.

| Speaking of "if I'd paid for it", many thanks to the Wigan fan who gave me a spare complimentary ticket as I walked up The Den ticket office ready to buy one.
Made a good start to the afternoon.
And yeah, Williams' pass! The lad really has got a touch of class, hasn't he?

| Quote ="CyberPieMan"Nice win.
I'd like to see the breakdown of ST, casual, home & away and walk-ups. It'll only be a success if there's a good proportion of the curious and potential converts.
With everything being geared towards the other side of the capital, Sky showing Fax & Salford and the ODI on 5LiveXtra, the only comentary was on BBC Manc. We never stood a chance of this being as high profile as IL might have liked. I'd also posit that many of the Business Club that were persuaded to go along for the odd languistine ciabatta are wondering whether they're going to get value for money.
The concept is valid, the timing and =#FF0000location weren't.
Can we now get back to the serious stuff please.'"
I presume you didn't go.
From my experience yesterday, there was nothing wrong with the location. We were treated very well, politely and helpfully by the staff at Millwall. There were probably more [upaying[/u spectators yesterday than what would have been had the game been at Wigan. The time to judge will be over the next three or four years and see if it grows as an event.
Fans had better get used to it, because it will happen.

Getting too excited, the points gap is like an extra point, always thought Leeds would need to lose three games . I can see the Giants troubling them but Cas could be out of it by the time they play the Rhinos.
