Deffo deserves MoM after that performance

Brilliant performance.

Leuluai and Powell were immense in defence as well.

Great game. Thought all the forwards played well tonight, big wraps to Liam Byrne what a monster.

Oh, and a brilliant cameo from Clubb with that tackle!

Passion and 100% commitment. He had a great game. Belting people all game.

Tony Clubb with the tackle of the season.

Partington & Byrne I would play ahead of Navarette in the future. Smithies looks a real talent. So impressed by him.

I actually thought Clubb was MOM. He was all over the field in that second half but Isa was very good.

Navarette has played really well recently and I thought he was aggressive again tonight. I doubt we’ll have enough bodies to think about dropping him anyway but he’d be well down my list. That’s not to say I’ve not been impressed by Byrne, Partington or Smithies. They’ve all done really well for us and I thought Byrne especially did well tonight. It was a real statement by him and he looks like his confidence is building.

When Byrne came into the side I wasn't convinced he looked up to the pace (unlike Smithies, who looked at home from Day 1), but he has really grown up the last few weeks, and another great effort today. And yeah, Willie Isa was immense in a solid defensive performance all round.

Nobody has mentioned Farrell but once again he was machine like and just did his job quietly but brilliantly. This guy is so underated and does high quality work every week in attack and defence.

Yeah he was very good, and I guess we'd better give a nod to Marshall who took his chances very well. On his second try, though, I couldn't help but think, if the situation were reversed, and it had been our no 7 coming across in cover instead of Sneyd, the Hull winger would have gone into the first row!

Just watched the interview Isa did at the end of the game.

Sums the lad up perfectly.

No personal credit, even said he didn’t care about MOTM award and just talked about the team, how important the team is, and how he was just happy to do his job and contribute to the team effort.

He is never going to go down as an all time great Wigan second row, but without doubt he is one of those players that has the toughness and mental conditioning that the others in the team respect and who they know they can rely on when it gets tough.

I said last night watching his interview that he’s in to his fourth season at the club and he’s probably never been seen by anyone as being in the first choice 13, yet he just keeps racking up starting appearances. He does that because he’s durable and has a great engine and whilst he keeps banging out these 80 minute performances, his fellow forwards drop around him.

He’ll not be considered a starting 13 player in 2020 but no doubt he’ll rack up another 25+ starts.
