It was a fantastic performance by a team who simply wanted it more than their opposition today.
We were playing for survival and I think despite what WP says all but assured that yesterday which is fantastic.
Wigan were off form but it was Trinity’s excellent game plan and execution of it which caused this. They totally frustrated the Wigan team which spilled over into some poor discipline from them at times.
Trinity totally neutralised the key threats and strangled their creativity.
The main game plan for Wigan seemed to be run round like headless chickens then give it to Field or French and expect them to create a bit of magic.
Arguably yesterday in my opinion was one of the best displays I’ve seen at Belle Vue in some time.
Great result for the club, it also means Wigan will be out to set the record straight vs Toulouse next up which can only be a positive too.
Finally it hopefully gives any players we are looking to recruit/retain for 2023 some confidence to sign up so we can start putting together a competitive squad moving forward.
I know we have discussed next year’s recruitment before and this was the thing that was annoying me about leaving it so late on in the season to seal our survival. I know we haven’t sealed it yet, but we are in a better position than a month ago, like you say hopefully this will give players the confidence to sign.
