I'm not overly confident but we're more then capable of getting past HKR. The biggest threat to that will come in 3 forms and that will be from pressure of the situation, our own errors and pens and Michael Dobson. If it's a wet night then I can see it being a real arm wrestle and the latter 2 of those 3 things I mention will murder us if we don't get on top of it.

It'd be such a shame for our season to end of Friday because if we could ge through i'm convinced we'll get to Old Traffford. We will go to Leeds and beat them if only we get the chance.

If you beat us I hope you do go on to win the GF. Too little credit given to the Minor Prem imho.

Correct me if i am wrong (Awaits correcting!!

)

I am pretty sure we have come of all our defeats this year with a stunning win the following week?

I fancy a good performance this week and honestly dont care if we win by 1 or 100 (i would prefer 100 mind)

I dont understand what all the doom and gloom is about on here at the momment.

I'm really looking forward to Friday night, got the game I wanted as Wigan is one of my favourite away games. I think all the pressure will be on you, we had our fun on Saturday night ending the black and whites season and anything further is a bonus. We'll be major underdogs and that's just the way I like it. Should be a great game and reckon we'll bring a fair few too.

Looking forward to seeing you all

I may be wrong but I think since we've been in SL we've beat Wigan at least once a season all except this season, here's hoping that gets put right.. Add to this your the only team that have managed to beat us every time you've faced us this year, FC where the other one up til when it mattered.

Fate is on our side

I think we'll do alright.

We've bounced back pretty well all season when we've lost, so I'd expect more of the same.

Rovers are in the same position we've been in the last few seasons going away to teams who've just lost, so I'm not overly confident, but would still hope we'll win it.

You know what, if we win great (obviously), but if we lose, I will be cheering on HKR through the rest of the comp.

I will be there in spirit but not in body on Friday night. So hope all enjoy, and that there's no controversey.

42 missed tackles against a poor attacking side, 3 players in the top 10 missed tackles through the season and playing against the league leaders who have a great attacking threat coupled with a mean defence.

I really cant see Rovers beating such a tough team like Wigan however stranger things have happened. One thing I do know is that Wigan or Rovers will not have any reason to be complacent which means we should get a cracking game. Just hope Rovers tighten up the first line of defence or Tomkins will rip us apart again!

I think it will be another amazing game on Friday (as Saturday will too). These playoff games so far in the first week were some of the fastest games in a long while. Hopefully the rain subsides here from now til Friday so we can get the game moving quickly and whoever is reffing allows the game to be played at that pace.

I say this partially in the hope that our fitness levels will help us through though, I cant even fathom how gutted I would be Saturday morning if we lost after the hope built up over a great season...nervous.

Not looking forward to this one. The Robins could be a major banana skin for us.

Obviously there has been a huge backlash since the defeat on Sunday

But we are still overwhelming favourites for this game.

They lost seven more games than us in the regular season. We had a points difference of around 500 - they had a points difference of 21.

We haven't lost back-to-back games all season.

I'm not under-estimating Hull KR, but there is no reason why we shouldn't be confident that we will come up with a win.

i reckon Liam Colbon will come back to haunt us

The way I am looking at it is we needed to beat FC badly, that was the play off win we needed and it came against them, after that we are not expected to get any further by the 'experts' so are likely to look at it in a 'win, win' scenario. We need to go out and give it the best 80 minutes we can, improve on missed tackles, if we do that we could shock you.

My heart is saying we can beat you, my head is saying you have too much class for us to cope with. Saying that, when we have put 110% in this season we have beaten Leeds (twice), Saints and Wire, plus we owe you one for doing the double. Friday nights have also been very good to us at your place, so you never know.

You have been the most entertaining side this season and if we lose to you my support will be for you lot to win it.

I hope not, already txt him after Sundays game asking as he booked his holidays after the weekend! It'll be all my fault

I'm not feeling confident, but that's just because of the nature of the loss on Friday, and obviously the quick turn around time doesn't help.

That said, head tells me we will be good enough to progress. Why shouldn't we? League leaders against 7th placed. I hope last week was KR's Grand Final, we however have higher hopes.

I'll send my mum with her Tai Quan Do black belt to Co-op (i assume your still there) to get you if we loose then



On a serious note i think we'll respond well after last week with a 10 to 12 point win. Although i'm in favour of picking wigan youngsters i'd like to see MM bring Feka back in for either Tuson or Farrell. A bit more size and experience is needed at this stage. I'll stand corrected if wrong but i'm sure most of the games we have lost this year we have gone into with 3 props.

I'm with you on that one.

We will win it by 2 clear scores if we play anywhere near our potential. If we play like we dud against Leeds we will lose.

Aye I am but not for to long hopefully! Especially if we lose on Sunday even more so haha.

And I agree with bringing Feka back in although no with Farrell being dropped, he was outstanding on Sunday, IMO it would have to be for Tuson. I'm quietly confident we can win on Friday, we need to control Dobson though, I think our 3/4s is much better than theirs but Dobson could easily destroy us if we let him.

Morgan started with the mind games?

"There are a few things in our game that are heavily forbidden - biting, gouging and kicking - but it's not something for me to make a judgement on.

"It's slightly surprising but that's the way it goes. That's the decision of the RFL. We'll just crack on with our job."

Thats from JM
Hope the RFL look into his comments as he was fined not so long ago about the refs performance

Sorry bud didn't realize you'd already posted it.

To be honest i agree with him. IMO the only thing that Joel had in his favour is that it was more of a poke than a kick but the intent was still there.

He's right when he said certain incidents are seen as more serious than others. Punching will happen from time to time we all accept that, most of us enjoy a good punch up but Kicking, Stamping, Gouging and Biting are simply not acceptable.

ive enjoyed watching Wigan this year, great with the ball in hand and always willing to spray the ball out wide at pace, Sam Tompkins has been top notch all season,
im not overly comfident, but if we can give you a good game, a real scrap and push you hard ill be happy,

Not overly confident...
Then I think of that day a few weeks back when we wrapped up the league...
Even with a shocking 20min spell in the 2nd half and for me a poor 1st half we comfortably out-did them!

We must take that victory into Friday night with us!
