It is a fantastic gesture for a great guy both on and off the field. Rob's issues put everything into context, at the end of the day it is only a game of rugby league. I hope it is a good contest tomorrow but more so I hope the money raised helps Rob and his family, if only in a small way.

I never thought I’d say or think it, but I’m starting to like Wigan.

Other than the bottle job on the red card and an obvious forward pass miss, I think both games today were reffed to a more consistent standard, the new 6 more rule was barely noticeable. Let's hope they continue with this approach tomorrow.

The number of kids Wigan bring thru and the quality of them is incredible and a great credit to them.

We can all knock Wigan but its a fantastic RL club and fantastic RL town.

If only every club put the time, effort and patience into young players as Wigan, Leeds and Saints the game would be in a better position.

No surprise we’re the only teams that have been winning at old Trafford.

I’m expected a response from you lot tonight. Hardaker vs Hurrell in the centres will be interesting to watch

If Walker is fit Myler doesn't play anyway - Crosby will never play and I doubt you will ever see Stevie Ward play this or any other season.

I have sympathy for Crosby, but it's been a bad time for both player and club
