Job done. The line speed in the first 15 or so was on a level we’ve not seen for months. We’re unplayable when we defend like that. Bevan seems to have dusted off the cobwebs too.

Job well done, credit to HKR, thought Leigh would've given them a game tonight. Coming off the ground did they announce the Salford game's been moved to Thursday, couldn't make out what was said?

The intensity in the first 15 was up there with the Penrith game.
All the players deserve credit and mentions however Keighran has been a bit marmite for me this year but he was outstanding tonight in my opinion.
Exactly, you can't be at your peak every week. Sometimes you have to train, fitness vs fresh etc. Just 3 more to go, with a week off. We will be peaking perfectly.
Very good nights work. The team is getting it's cohesion back in defence and attack. Many individuals were good but French is just a different level. The days of debating who the leagues best player is have long gone.
Couple of years ago, all the pundits were banging on about Brody Croft being the best player in the comp. Haven't heard that lately. Very pleasing tonight, if not perfect. As I said to my neighbour at the game, French can remarkable things, and he manages to produce a gem in nearly every game. He really is a very special talent, and the term 'born with a football in his hands', applied to the likes of Latrell Mitchell, apply equally to him. You can't coach that, and we are lucky to have him. But all that happens, of course, when you have forward dominance, and we were always on the front foot tonight.
The Brad O’Neill podcast and Ellis interview on Wigan tv, both alluded to peaking at the right time for the big games.
We’re clearly moving through the gears.
3 wins away from immortality.
RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!

I'd add Ellis who I thought was on a par with French as best player on the pitch tonight.

No mention for Miski, he was near perfect tonight. I do agree though, we are in the groove. It will take a good team to beat us.
