Shows how important Houghton is, fair play to Washbrook 70 mins at hooker, when he hardly plays any minutes. Need to deal with kicks better, as three if there try's were from kicks.
Had chances to drop a goal when 22-4, that would have killed them off.
Got to take your hat off to Wigan, fantastic effort.

Concerns over Houghton and Kelly though.
Yup, up against 0 at half time, then seemingly collapsed, but 2 points is what counts

Well well. A win away at the champions losing the Man of Steel early and missing Watts, Tuli and Carlos. Cue went on the rack too early, granted, but to be 2nd after 6 games. And having outscored the opposition trywise in our one loss must seem like an OK start for those bleating about Radford's pre season strategy.

Bloody good entertainment, gutted we didn't snatch it in the end but considering it looked like it was going to be a real drubbing 2mins into the 2nd half can't complain. I thought you played some really good stuff in the first half, chalk and cheese compared to when I saw you against Saints and your scramble defence at the end was outstanding. Great game !

Agreed. We made metres for fun and should probably have had more in first half, you showed your champion credentials in the second, a nail-biting finish. Very good contest although Radford's not impressed with our handling and the pressure we put ourselves under.

We made a safe game very interesting, and got away with it.
Be happy. Away wins at Wigan are not a usual occurrence.
It's not really wines whines tho
Tonight if we had same injuries as wigan we'd of missed Shaul Tala Carlos Fonua Griffin going off injured in game Watts Houghton Taylor going off injured in game Sika Ellis Mini And weve still nearly got done. . They've just got something wigan. So tough and resilient. I'd not be shocked if they were treble winners this yr tbh
