Super League: Wigan Warriors 44-18 Huddersfield Giants: Liam Farrell shines in comeback

Wigan Warriors coach Matt Peet said:

“Huddersfield came to play. They’ve been leading in all their games at half-time, and we were aware of that.

“We knew we’d have to be good for the first half and beyond to get over the top of them, and I just liked the way we went about our business.

“I thought the crowd played a big part, their energy probably lifted us in key moments, so credit to them, and yeah, I like it.

“We’ve got a good record when we go ahead in games, but it’s also good to face a different test sometimes. We spoke about it being a good challenge for us, and we didn’t get carried away one way or the other.

“I think they [the players] have enjoyed this week. They look after themselves. They’ve not made too much of a thing about it, to be honest.”

Huddersfield Giants coach Luke Robinson told BBC Radio Leeds:

“I need to go in the dressing room and ask some questions, and I need them to come up with some answers, because we are putting ourselves in a position to win games.

“Every single game we’ve played, we’ve been winning at half-time and looked really strong, and then we come out and make some really silly, selfish decisions.

“We ripped the ball, then another where we took somebody off the ball, and we don’t deal with kicks. The game was in our hands and it’s so frustrating.

“The game was ours to be won. The 40-20s killed us as well, when we looked like getting back into the game – it zaps your energy and takes away field position.

[On Clune’s performance]: “He’s our general in the middle and it’s been really frustrating not having him because he hasn’t trained with us since September. So to have him back for the last week and a half has made huge difference to the way we play.”
