According to Barrie Mac we're not an expansive team.

Try telling that to Harry Smith.

Seemed like he’d been drinking tonight. Stumbling over names and talking absolute tosh. He said before the game and with a straight face ‘when Wigan and HKR are at their best, HKR are a better side’. I’m loving what HKR are doing but let’s not talk daft. There is absolutely no evidence that suggests that is the case.

What the hell is it with 12 men? We just seem to go to pieces and I agree with Cruncher, if that first Ryan Hall effort was a try then I'm a Dutch Man and I'm not because I was born in Newtown!

Another great example of just how much of a shambles it is sending the decision up with the prejudicial ‘try or no try’ attached to it. He didn’t get it down, as clear as day IMO but there was about a 1.3% chance he got a finger tip on it, so they give it.

Superb comeback

Also looked like a ball steal on Smithies on the set before we scored the winning try.

Let's be honest, they were trying to do the same thing with Leigh until it became embarrassingly obvious that they weren't in the same class as Wigan.

HKR's second half comeback added grist to their mill - they were popping corks they were so excited. It was worth winning just to take a leak on that pathetic bonfire.

Oh behave. I bet you was bricking it behind your TV screen when French went down after knocking on, lose him and its curtains for Wigans season.

And fwiw, we shouldn’t have been given the chance to get back in that game at 14-4, but somehow we did and should’ve held on to win. Oh well.

Well you're not wrong there.

Not sure what I enjoyed more, the stunned silence of the Hull KR fans or Clifford the Big Red Dog trying to cheer up their players.

Have we forgotten about Field..and the bulk of a starting pack that were all missing tonight.

Not necessarily on here but I’m stunned on social media “fans” are unhappy with that performance tonight.

Missing a pack and a key strike player, against a team flying high in their own backyard….all the makings of a great win in my opinion.
