Despite providing the assist for Ryan Williams’ opener, Harness wasn’t happy with his showing in the 2-1 win.

But, taking to Twitter, the winger promised there would be improvements from him at Wigan on Monday.

He said: ‘Three wins in a row, a bit of a wasteful and erratic performance from me today but Monday will be better!'

Goalscorer Ryan Williams was more succinct when summing up the winning pattern which is emerging

He said on Instagram: ‘Good to be back out there with the boys, another great win onto Monday now #RC11’

Skipper Tom Naylor also reflected on the winning run, before focussing on the Wigan game quickly approaching on the horizon.

He said on Twitter: ‘3 Ws on the bounce, quick turnaround now till Monday!’

He said: ‘3 in 3 onto another big one Monday’

Sub Harvey White continued the theme of looking ahead on Instagram after his second-half appearance: ‘Good win today. Focus now turns to Monday!! PUP.’
