Wigan had to do some energy-sapping defence there just before half time.

Aye. Hastings in particular is a marvellous player. Saw him live in Ealing and he left a deep impression on me. He’s a puppet-master pulling all the strings. 

When he was getting all the plaudits at the back end of last year I held off a bit because I wondered if it was just a case of a big fish in a small pond who would be found out in the big games against top opposition.

Since then he has more than proven himself. Wonderful player.

Hoping Salford can finish the job here

Mostly play going up the middle.  Pretty pathetic penalties given early doors by ref. but Wigan will need to get more of a go forward from the rucks than they are doing at moment.  But given disorganization at 7 and 9 that will be difficult.

[Man of Kent]

If Hastings is the England half-back, do we win the World Cup in 2021? We’ve got the best forward pack but...

[Gates1]

Wigan just aren't the same team since the 'head rubbing' email.  Pretty much rendered 2 to 3 players useless!

[DavidM]

Wigan have got a game plan ?

[Man of Kent]

Failer thinks so

[andyscoot]

Game over. That has to be a try. 

[Man of Kent]

Might be hard to overturn...

[Pigeon Lofter]

O my days!!!!!!!

[RSN]

That's a try all day, no way you can turn that down. 

[DavidM]

[Damien]

Has to be a try, video ref can't overule that

[Man of Kent]
