“It certainly makes it easier for the lads to defend when they’ve got kicks like that to go after.
"They work hard to lay the foundations to get Harry in that position, and that’s the way the game flows.
"Our D backs his kicks up and vice versa.
"I’m proud of him, Joe (Shorrocks) and the whole spine.
"Brad O’Neill and Sam Powell did a good job against Warrington as well.

"He’s an old head on young shoulders.
"He won’t always get it right, but when you’re blooding in a young halfback that’s what you’ve got to be prepared to do.
"He can be happy after the Warrington game, and I think his defence is improving as well.
"Being involved in the England squad will be great for him.
"It’s good for the British game that we’ve got these halves in these positions.
"I like to see Wigan players in the England team, but I understand there’s a lot of good individuals.”
