4 points now off the top 8 - and a game ahead as well. Really need the win big style ahead of Saints next week. Or else we may be looking at a big struggle to make the top 8!

I think everyone game is must win from now till the end of the season being so far behind already, if we want to challenge we are going to have to win a large percentage of our games to get a good play-off spot, but I know how you mean tomorrow really is a must win as we make it really hard for ourselves with saints next week if we dont win.

CMON WIGAN!!!

If you lose at Wakey I don't think you'll make the 8. I know it's early but 4 points (possibly more) will still be difficult to make up.

What a sad situation we currently find ourselves in.

Tomorrow is a huge game we really dont want to be playing catch up to the top 8 we are now 4 points behind again, Every game is a must win now.

Most important game of the year so far. Can't see a win however as to get one we would have to play to potential, something we have only done maybe twice this year?

Whoever's responsible, the fact is that's nowhere near good enough.

good shout defo going to struggle imo to make top eight if we dont turn up prepared to scrap n battle for eighty minutes .we've already got stains looking to get the bulls result out of there system next week,thats going to be a big enough hurdle as it is.so a win sunday is a must.


c'mon u cherry n whites step up to the plate.

we will lose, and next week and the week after that, making our season a complete washout, but we know that already

Nothing like optimism eh lmao

Nothing like optimism eh lmao

Sad but obviously very true

I actually quite optomistic about tomorrow. I can see us turning up and giving em what for! Wigan to win by 12 - 16 points. I know what you mean about Stains next week though but we'll have confidence after the match against em at JJB. How did we manage to lose that one?

I am not confident of us getting anything tomorrow.

These are desperate times to be a Wigan fan !

A win for you guys would be very welcome and also a wire win against shudds. If we can manage to beat Catalans and the games mentioned go our way we will be sat in the lofty position of 2nd come 5pm

not to sound to confident old chap but that 2nd spot is ours!
Kear has turned this club around, everything has changed at WTW since 2006, the club is well managed financially and has a real sence of progression and professionalism about it these days. Our team are by no means superstars but we're grafters, something i think a few big clubs lack.
i hope you have a nice trip across and are ready to play for 80 mins, because we expect nothing less these days!

And for what its worth you wont have too many more trips to BV. watch this space.

safe trip.

we need to win this week to give us a sniff at edinburgh! play like we did on maundy thursday against saints but improve our execution and i will be very confident in our chances to turn them over- bradford proved on friday that they aren't invinicible.

We all know that the challenge cup is our best chance of success so we need to win that game! the wakefield cc game will be our biggest game of the season- beat them after 2 good weeks and who knows the confidence that will give the lads?

Is anyone else appauled at the fact we are talking this game up at this state of the season as crucial to us making the top 8?! We are the single most underachieving club in the land. Shocking.

on paper we are the better side but wakefield will out enthuse us and destroy us round the ruck with quick play the balls. i think wakefield by 12-16 points

No, thats Warrington.

On paper there really isn't much difference between our 3/4's, props and back rowers, where there is a telling difference IMO is in the play makers, and TBH I wouldn't swap one of ours for any of yours, on form we should win this, but although we have got better at winning pressure games the thought that 2nd spot is up for grabs at the end of today makes me very nervous about this game, it's a big test for our players and will go some way to showing how much belief they've got in themselves as far as competing for the top four goes. I think it's going to be a cracking game and can't wait for it

To be fair I think our 3/4's are better, we have the winger with the highest strike rate, Carmont was in the dream team last year and Gleeson is an English international. However on current for your front row is far superior to ours, and you have possibly the best-used hookers in the league. The back row is pretty even though. Could go either way unfortunately.

fell off the wagon I see!

I desperately hope you're right but I can only see a Wakefield win in this one by at least 18 points.

Gutted i can't go as i had to move back to my parents this weekend after spliting up with my girlfriend. I can't see us winning as we don't show enough hunger against the less glamourous sides such as Wakefield, Cas, Hudds, as we do aginst Stains, Leeds and Bradford.

don't think we will today, or next week, but i do think we will finish 5th or 6th as we seem to peak around July/August. just hope we get through the Wakey tie as i think we will be contenders for the cup if we do
