Two second-half tries from Trent Barrett helped Wigan earn a point against fellow Super League play-off hopefuls Harlequins. Tries from Matt Gafa, Scott Hill and Mark McLinden helped put Quins 16-8 ahead by half-time.
But Barrett went over twice in the second half - one a 70 metre effort - to give the Warriors hope of victory.
Both sides tried a series of drop-goal attempts to win the game late on but they had to be content with a draw.
Wigan coach Brian Noble "I'm still pretty confident we'll get in the top six and make the play-offs. We might have to win all of our last three games but we're determined to do it.
"I am not happy with the result, but it was a good second half from us.
"We should have won it but we lacked some composure - there were too many drop-goal attempts too early - and then we got nervous at the end."
Harlequins coach Brian McDermott "I think the referees don't know what is a try and what isn't, and I don't know what a try is and what isn't in Super League anymore.
 | 606: DEBATE |
"I think we had the lightest pack that Super League has ever seen. It was a very brave effort and we had enough chances and possession to win the match.
"But I have seen so many performances like that I'm getting fed up with it. You get no rewards for being brave, I want to win something with this team."
