Those 4 tries were just soft defence. Wire were never in this game tonight. We were dominant from the KO to FT.

Harry Smith is putting his doubters to rest week on week. A brilliant performance from him and improved again from last week.

Now then, we have a date at Tottenham to book next week!!

Fun to watch and a complete 180 on last year in terms of entertainment. Still have mixed feelings though - felt our defensive line looked very loose and a few too many handling errors. Despite the scoreline we'll need to be a fair bit better next week.

French was good in patches but looked knackered. Great to see Harry Smith play well and start to look like he might be a long term 7.

Put the cue on the rack after 60 minutes with the game won and a semi-final next week so wouldn't worry about the last two tries, however Ellis seriously needs to up his game on defence.

I don't think Wigan needed to get out of 2nd gear really tonight. Easiest game I've seen against them in many a year.

Sets us up nice for next week.

Agree re Smith. I’m his biggest doubter but he is at the moment making me eat humble pie.

Long may it continue.

Wonder if Thornley might get done for the late shot on King. Was a bit worried Mago was going to throw a punch after losing his rag a bit but surely a couple of pushes won't get him a ban.

Lomax and Hopoate getting scans on injuries and apparently Percival might be looking at a ban.

Any news on Field? Tonight at the game I heard:

He's pulled his hamstring.
He's twinged his hamstring.
He's ill, got Covid.
He's ill, had the $hits at half time.
He's fine, it's precautionary.

Peet after the game said it was always the plan to bring him off at half time as he was carrying a few knocks but he will be good for the semi.

A planned rest according to Peet.
