I must admit i had the same thought, a big game today and against Huddersfield and he'll be hard to stop. When was the last time we had a 'man of steel' winner? He will be announced as a Wigan player though! Not just yet😟 and leading try scorer in the same season |

MR, I’d say Tui’s kicking game is definitely better than Lui’s. We’ve gone from bomb after bomb to a real variety of kicks and actually scoring from them. In defence of the defence- it was half decent until the last 20 minutes but the game was over and it was 26 degrees and like breathing soup so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Yes London’s Adebiyi did look a handful but in a team that was hammered.
Carnster, my only criticism of Tui would be that he keeps forcing the pass too often - as he did with the interception. Obviously not a natural playmaker which is why we need one next to him next year.

Obviously not a natural playmaker which is why we need one next to him next year. Yeah, he's always been a little prone to throwing intercepts wherever he's played. I think that is down to him wanting to execute the plays called rather than just making that split second decision to change it if an intercept is on. I think that'll improve with familiarity with his teammates, plays, and consistency in his position. I agree, that we will get the most out of him with another organising half next to him. Tui and Lui are incredibly similar players in that respect. Which makes Leeds decision to go for Lui a weird one. |

A great performance now let's back it up at the weekend.

Sounds like a great performance, particularly in attack. Nice to hear that Tui played well. Our push for the playoffs continues! We should be out for revenge against Huddersfield on Sunday.

A perfectly winnable game this and we should again go to increase the points difference as this might just have a baring on the last play of spot.
The sad thing about yesterday was that for me it's just about the final nail in the coffin for London, I know they are only 2 points behind but you just can't see them getting enough points and I think if we were honest we'd all prefer Leeds or Hull KR to go down.

Aye I watched them against Leeds on Friday night and they were very poor. Some of the tries were very soft, our backs could potentially have a field day. Still a lot of points up for grabs though. I'm hoping it goes down to the last game of the season (which you'd hope all kick off at the same time). Us against Hull KR and Wakefield v London could make for a very nervy afternoon - and thankfully not for us, for a change! |

I don't think London are dead and buried. Realistically, they need a win soon to claw their way back to the pack on 18. This will allow them to play Wakefield on the last weekend in a 'winner takes all' game. If London need a psychological boost, they should look at Wakefield's remaining games - Hull FC, Hull KR, Wigan, Warrington and London. Like I said, if London can close the gap (just one win) before that last game, who would bet against them?

Atkin made it too so a good omen for 2020. |

I really do hope that London stay up. Their points difference is their biggest problem.
I’ve always thought Leeds would have too much to go down but they are poor. I didn’t think they played especially well against Huddersfield, they’ve got no structure in attack still, it’s all the off the cuff. They didn’t even do the quick PTB and attack the ruck which was their only game plan under Furner. But they did defend well which will see them safe. With the individuals they’ve got they will pick up another win or 2
Hull KR should get the win or 2 they need but they can be really poor so I still think their at risk.
Huddersfield put in one of the worst SL performances I’ve ever seen the other night. Leeds were barely average and thrashed them. But they were whooped the other week and then did us. They could be in real trouble though
Wakefield are the other team that I think look shot. I think they play London in the last game of the season. Could be a decider if London pick up another win before then
