12 Feb: SL: Huddersfield Giants v Wigan Warriors KO 8pm

[Gates1]

Thanks Jamie..

[chuffer]

well, getting a try on your debut has to help the 1-month trial thingy for foster

[chuffer]

why isn't foster kicking the goals? ellis's effort was zak-like

[Futtocks]

No conversion. A two-point game now.

[Futtocks]

Penalty! All square at 12 apiece.

[Futtocks]

Drop goal, and Huddersfield retake the lead with 10 to go!

[Gates1]

What's the point of playing a charge down specialist like Gelling of you aren't going to use him?

Wigan tactics all wrong today.

[Gates1]

Lack of any creativity in Wigan pivots looks a problem. With Tomkins out until April I wouldn't be suprised if Hampshire is recalled soon and given a shot.

[Padge]

Phew

[chuffer]

unbelievable....pockets pinched!!!!

[Futtocks]

Phew

Not over yet!

[Gates1]

Still time Dom.

[Padge]

Huddersfield will feel unlucky, rightly so, to have come out the wrong side of this one.

[BBR]

Harsh but fair play to wigan. Didn't give up

[Futtocks]

Huddersfield, with all their missing players, looked the better side for huge chunks of that match. And some of the youngsters were among their best performers.

[Gates1]

Not often you see mom from losing side!

Brisbane and the Roosters won't be losing any sleep after watching the last two nights matches.

Isn't that often the case though?  Young players bring enthusiasm and fresh legs, not to mention new skills.  They want to prove they are good enough for the first team.

It's all part of a devious plan to fool the Aussies into a false sense of security.  I'm surprised you didn't know that already!

[redjonn]

That last kick from Ellis gave Wigan the impetus due to Charnley quick and good play and subsequent aggressive running from Wigan. Unfortunate. I guess given same position Wigan would have either done a grubber kick, took another drop goal or but more likely an aggressive forward run and having Wigan have to work from own line.   Great display from Huddersfield but I guess that's the difference between Wigan winning mentality and Huddersfield.

 

Disappointed with Wade having to have dig at ref about PTB - it was same for both teams.  Wish RFL would heavily penalise coaches to an extend they don't comment on Ref. Leave it to us fans, pundits, and media.

 

When it mattered Wigan always managed to make big yards.

[Exiled Wiganer]

The better team lost. The Giants had plenty of very good players in key positions, and deserved the win. It will be an important fortnight for them - if they build on this, they are capable of putting together a long winning run. They can be very proud of themselves, their full back looks far better than Grix, and Connor has something about him. Their defence was superb - if Wigan did anything "right", and it was hard to discern much to cherish, it was picking and usin their big men. Plus, O'Loughlin for the millionth time makes a crucial intervention.

Hats off the Giants. They were superb.

Could be a great season, this.

An excellent post-match section with Luke Robinson on Radio 5 Sports Extra.

After expecting a towelling I can't complain at that result, but for a video ref call - that will absolutely be a try next week for someone else - we'd have won

Ellis and Connor looked outstanding

One more senior player on the park and we'd win that I think

Came across well pre match on sky I thought too.

It was consistent with a decision last night???
