Miski is a solid winger who is great running the ball out, he’s a little barrel of muscle and makes good yards, he’s a great 3rd choice winger but I’m not sure he’s the best use of a quota space so presume he will be let go when his contract finishes?

I am not sure that you are right about Miski being our third choice winger. We have definitely seen the benefit of French moving away from the wing. French’s yardage out of defence is poor he is much more suited to playing fullback. It is no coincidence that our three quarters are now making far more yardage. Having French and Field, who are first class players is a luxury. We only need one of them.

Fair play on the win not the game I thought it would be, I took a lot you felt the need for the drop goal to make sure, we had chances and just was not at it tonight, still top and I think we still be next week so long as we lost no more players. Good turn out from your fans and hope there was no scrotes to spoil your journey hope.

Wigan were far the better team. We have showed the rest how to beat you. To be honest, I was confident of the win after your performance last week.

Three great wins, and performances in a row. Energy and intensity has been tip top and got the rewards.

Look I'm sure every team is thinking similar sentiments currently, but best thing for me is I genuinely think there is loads more that can come from us. Few players out, and a fair bit still not clicking and sometimes not turning dominance into points. If we can just put the finishing touches to the standards we've been setting in recent weeks then oooof.

Our defence is outstanding.

Faz is a machine but I do sense he’s carrying a bit of something. Not that he’s not playing well enough but he looks just shy of his usual Herculean, freakish, sub human best. If there is something, there will be a decent opportunity to rest it against Wakey. We can’t go with too many youngsters but there’s a chance to give one or two a go and rest a couple of lads, who have run their blood to water these past few games.

There is nothing wrong with Faz.

Plenty of posts by Wire fans on this forum when they were undefeated not so much after they were giving a schooling tonight.

Be fair ... they thought they were going to go all season without a loss. Twitter told them.

We didn’t think no such thing.

If you would have told me last year we’d win 8 in a row and Wigan would only narrowly beat us to start this season I would bite your hand off.

There is now way in a million years Peet only plays one of Field or French when fit, nor should he.

Field will play 6 moving forward I’m sure.

Cust is becoming the player we “don’t need” at the moment with the form of Miski, Field, French and O’Neil.

I absolutely agree though that we are a much more balanced team with Miski on the wing and French at fullback. Having 2 concussive carrying wingers suits our game plan way more than having French out there on the edge.
