Thats as strong as we can be at presen is it enough

I hope so

I'd put bruno in defensive centre against Joel Tomkins!

I'd have Raleigh defending our line before Horne, Kirmond or Patrick.

i would deffo say we are strong enough we are missing LOD in our forwards but thats it so nwt wrong with the pack and broughs kicking game is a big loss but brown - robbo combo is allready proven and was a very succesfull one in 2009 to say they only had like a month or so to get it sorted after todd carney was stoped from coming.

but gonna be a very tough game but for once we have a good record against the big teams this year so will have to see how it goes

strong enough to beat catalans.....

We are stronger with fergi and BrunoS defense out wide too IMO.

bruno def one of our better defenders

Too right,Bruno & Leroy the offense/defence swapover on the left edge.Sorry Dodge.

Wardle & Jez on t'other edge.Safe as houses.

We seem to be more concerned on here about defence, we're not bad at offence, for me the battle will be the packs, the team that gets on top there will be victorious.

we need to neutralise deacs kicking game and put pressure on finch. Fast line speed is a must at the PTB give it fuey to pop ouit the pass to mobile forwards such as larne - back up and there you go.

Defence is the way to stop Wigoon,stay strong down the middle,get up quick on the edges and stop their 2nd man play's that is the key.Hope you get lucky on their edge bombs,don't give O'Loughlin space on the left to throw the cut out pass.

Don't disagree about stopping them, but we need to also remember we need to pose a real threat offensively, and give them plenty to think abou.

One things is for sure both teams will slow down the play, with 3 in the tackle, get a roll on by winning the ruck area and you'll win the game, Robbo is key here as is Fooey.

Is that the pass as seen at the Galph earlier this year. the one that was three yards forward.

I was with some Wigan mates and level with the pass. They were embarassed to get a score like that.

Hock being back is a plus for Giants. He's like Mason. Thick as a plank and a penalty conceeding machine.

Stop them,then we play some football because they have nowhere to go except 2nd man plays.Both defences get 3 men into the tackle try and slow it.Reckon we are capable of putting better moves on than them when we go wide.They are more predictable.

Fooey yards are as good as any prop could ever make,offload on the back of the yards could make the difference -they don't have that threat

id love to see wigsy tell mason or hock to their face they thick as planks lmao...

I'm sure that if put to them the right way that they would agree that academia is not their forte. If not i'd be off quicksticks

over the phone maybe lol.. i no i would do that that way,,

I'd say keep Dodgy in, he scored a great try against Catalan and is a great winger sorry Bruno.

Of course we're strong enough......whether we're good enough on the day is another matter!!

We need every player to give 110% tomorrow and not lack any concentration.
lets not get caught up in the return of that Wigan bloke....who i've never really rated anyway......and get their Halfbacks under pressure early on and their forwards on their backsides quickly and let them know its us in town again ...they will lay down and die then like the last 3 years

I'd like them both in TBH.....i feel we will be better with Bruno and Dodgy with Joe missing out , which is a shame as he's done nowt wrong but these 2 have more experience in the bigger games.

Agree

where do you get experience from if you dont play in these games?? Bruno to be 18th man.

AGGHHHHH!!!! you can't give more than 100%!!!

Sorry Daz, this really gets under my skin

Ah but if You had a sandwich for your dinner and you thought that was all you was going to have, you have had 100% of your dinner. Then I gave you half of mine. Wouldn't you have had 150%?



Sorry, i've had a drink

we are more than strong enough.
it's whether we are mentally stron enough to cope with a big crowd,huge pressure,and to get on the game plan and for everyone to do their bit, do that, silence the home supporters frustrate wigan then it's almost job done.
and dont forget us crap travelling supporters have to do our bit too, none of this slumping in your seat business should we go behind, we need everyone to lift the guys if things aren't going well, we did it last year in the play offs, we did it in the last 2 semi finals lets do it again today!!
