Pathetic wing play from Thornley.

Agreed, but it was a stroll in for Field had he kept hold too. Poor play after great set up.

Due to several reasons this is one of the first games I've been able to sit and watch this year.

We're pretty bloody good. Not sure what some people have been moaning about.

Chuffed with. We were down towards that Wakey end and it was a partisan atmosphere that first half and Wakey played really well. The amount of desire we showed and pressure we soaked up allowed us to do that in the second half. It was a proper Wigan knock out performance for me.

Great to get a glimpse of what Field and French could bring as well.

Nice to score some great tries. We could barely make a break last year.

Credit to Peet and the coaching staff.

Most pleasing aspect for me was French, quiet last week and had me thinking maybe to not play him on GF and bring him in Easter Monday.

Today performance put that idea out the window, looked close to his electric best!

Also good performance from Joe Shorrocks whose been working hard in the reserves.

The bench had a huge impact on the result. The starting pack defended so well and then all 4 of the lads on the bench came in and put dints in the Wakey line. I thought they made the real difference between the sides and it allowed room for Field and co to play in.

Very happy with that performance - especially the defence. Attacking aggression good too when we needed to re-start close to our line. The attack was potent but I reckon we bombed at least three tries so there is still some improvement in us.

Very pleased with the win, but think saints just have a bit too much for us as they don't let up for the Full 80.
Really hope I'm wrong tho

Obviously the best team won, we might have been able to give you more of a game with Tommy, Millar and Big Dave
playing. Good support from you guys too. Best of luck in the Semi Final.

Agree with all of that and said on the way back how much our defence has improved.
Hopefully no injuries and with Ellis back a good problem for Peet and his staff to have.
