A loss against Salford would enable the Wire to edge their bets againts the Catalans and prepare the troops for a winner take all battle for the league leaders shield.

Yes, he did score a hat trick at the weekend against Leeds, but I didn’t think he had a good game. He took his tries well, but he was playing stand off, and there were several balls that went to ground when he was passing. Perhaps he is just not used to playing there?

Madge was watching, which I thought was impressive as the first team stayed overnight at Haydock again before the semi. He left mid way through the second half.

I personally am not bothered where we finish in the top 2, we will win it from second

i am , i want to win the lot

We could possibly see Roberts come in for Deacon in the next two games. He played at 6 for the academy at the weekend. I dont think Madge will rest Sam, unless hes carrying a knock.

We'll have a better idea when we see the U20 team to play v Salford at Orrell tomorrow night. Kick off is at 7 p.m.

We should play our best team every week from now on imo, i wouldnt rest anybody unless they really need it.

We got a few quid for winning the shield last year didnt we? Im sure i remember somebody mentioning prize money last year.

Forget about what ?........................................................................................................................................................................................................................oh, Wembley,...........I'd forgot about that.

£10,000 i think?

50K, worth having but nothing massive

If Saints finish third, would we fancy them or hudds/catalan in the first round

That 'club call' is a poisioned chalice aswell for me

50k, see i wasn't that far off



thats true! so 2nd would not be a bad thing.

If Saints finish third i would go for Catalan, i know they have beaten us twice this season but it will be third time lucky for us.

Not minding coming 2nd is not 'The Wigan Way'.

Sam was rumoured to still be carrying the shoulder knock that he went off with at Hull going into the Saints game on Saturday. Didn't see much evidence of it during the match though

Are the Widnes dual registration lads still at Widnes?

Yes, they should be on tv tonight in the Halifax v Widnes game.

Thanks Rogues. Obviously that's why I was asking - guess I'll tune in then.

Based on amos playing at 6 in the reserves does anyone think that if deacon does retire that could see amos moving back in to the first team either at 6 or full back and we wont sign a replacement

Exactly my thinking. Winning the league leaders shield, challenge cup and grand final would of been the aim at the beginning of the season and should still be now.
