Harlequins 16-16 Wigan
Trent Barrett
Barrett has been Wigan's outstanding performer this season

Harlequins: (16) 16
Tries: Gafa, Hill, McLinden
Goals: Paul 2

Wigan: (8) 16
Tries: Leuluai, Barrett 2
Goals: Richards 2

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.

    "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."
