The stats show just THIRTEEN tackles missed all game. Compared to 36 missed by Wigan. 8 of our players kept ‘clean sheets’. Mellor and OB putting in 34 and 35 tackles respectively with none missed!
Fantastic defensive display. Let’s hope we can recreate that next Friday!

huge shift put in from those two

I think fair amount of credit needs to go to Rick Stone.

He laid the groundwork for this current turnaround.

Reading the Wigan fans forum. They were blaming us for watering the pitch, causing them to lose ball control. Blasting Hewer for giving Giants penalties following crowd pressure. And Hewer giving Giants a penalty every time Broughy told him we should have one.
Quite hilarious reading those comments. But there was one Wigan fan who said that first Wigan try shouldn`t have stood (knock on). Which we all suspected.

Massive, Massive win. Broughys game management in the second half, particularly when Lawrence was in the bin, was excellent. He takes a lot of stick from some quarters, but in my view he's still got it and I'm pleased he's signed for another season.

Wigan were made to look ordinary last night. They couldn't get past us either down the middle or out wide and eventually their strike runners stopped trying. That's when Tomkins started to really go for the ref at every opportunity, luckily Hewer didn't listen to him but f that had been Broughy the ref would have binned him I'll bet. Even having Bruno in the bin didn't have any real detrimental effect to our attack or defence and to be honest t looked and felt as though we were one player up not Wigan. More of the same next week and we're safe. COYG.

And nothing about certain Wigan players mouthing off to the ref.Wigan play on the edge every game they play and certainly don't like it when its done to them.Just watch the disciplinary next week I'll lay odds no Wigan player is charged but I wouldn't put money on Bruno getting away with it!!

It’s three years next month since Bruno was up before the disclipinary- he has an excellent fair play record. If they ban him it will be a travesty!

Agree Turner has looked great back in the centres. His line as a dummy runner early in he second half created space for darnells try and gave us that bit of a cushion
