You need to work out how to use the quote.

Yes thats right all 3 are in the first team when fit and 2 of them form a centre and wing compo but yet we only missed King.



=#FF4000Cut out the personal insults please. This thread has the potential to turn into a slanging match without your help. mods

Yawn.

Apologies about the quoting problem, my phone never seems to do it.

I'm only going off the comments about Evans from your board. Atkins is not exactly ripping it up is he? Why do you feel the need to compare how many injured players you had? You won remember! Although I wouldn't use that game as a yardstick for where Wigan are right now, but hey ho that's me.

Personal insults? Really?

Evans is still a kid he played for England U18s not long ago.

Why do you feel the need to compare how many injured players you had?

It was in reply to another comment about teams being weaker, why you had to start making stupid comments to it I don't know hence the thick question.

He'll play though - Saints did this with L*ng a couple of years ago.

I was 50-50 on who would win in we were fully fit. Now looks like Morley and Harrison are out, thats us down to two front rowers, i cant see us winning this one.......

Leaves us with only Wood and Carvell with Cooper as sub prop.

Looks like Westwood will be doing a stint in the front row.

The fact that the poll is almost split right down the middle, suggests how close the two teams are.

Harrison starts at 13 for you men doesn't he? And I'm not having that Solomona is anything other than a prop these days

He does and he doesn't.

Depends on what Smith decides on. I would have thought with Morley out he would have had a pack of:

Carvell Monaghan Harrison
Westwood Anderson
Grix

With Wood on the bench, he has been known to use this before. Although you are correct in that he has been playing loose in some games for us.

Yes, and we have the best team and coach in the competition.

Or Grix.

A Wigan win.

There's a lot of talk on here about the strenghts and weaknesses of various players on both sides..in my view individuals will count for little...this game will require a mamoth team effort.

It will be an epic battle..and one things for sure Madge has proved time and again that when push comes to shove and our backs are firmly against the wall..we always deliver.

Its that simple.

We will defend like trojans and finish them off last 20 mins.

We have a very good team and the best coach in the competition..have faith!

A funny statement, only because ever since Maguire took over Wigan have been anywhere but having their "backs firmly against the wall".

Which are the instances you are thinking about? I hardly think that Saturday can be described as such - it promises to be a hell of a game but neither team has their backs to the wall.

There is no doubt that under Maguire Wigan have continually delivered though.

I think he means games like at Knowsley road last year with 12 men, Leeds play-off game at Headingley and Huddersfield away this season. We went to an in-form Huddersfield, and won convincingly without the likes of Sam Tomkins, Pat Richards, Gleeson (at the time) Fielden, Deacon, Finch. It was certainly 'backs against the wall' stuff.

apologies, i didn't make it very clear in my original post, what i meant to say was that the wigan side was weaker than the wire side at the DW earlier this year. but to be fair although they are great players i don't think losing either of the players you mention in Matt King etc compares to not having the current MOS in your side, whether fit or not!

we simply have the mental edge (IMO) due to toppling you from the top of the league. this game not only decides who progresses in the cup but it also will tell on the league too i think.

a wire win at the weekend and wigan will not only be dejected at a loss but wire can also take that confidence into regaining the top spot in the league and doing better than last year in the playoffs.

a wigan win at the weekend and it could prove very significant in the league too from a confidence point of view for the wigan players and IN THE PAST at the final hurdle wire have sometimes "bottled" it as some would say - no myself - but some would say so.

hence what i originally said

g

Classic!

Oh dear.

I think the funniest thing is how he thought pat was worse than king obviously forgot he's usually top try scorer too.

Matt King is better than Pat Richards.... what gives you the impression he isn't.

The miracle of sight.

Yes sight helps, but so does a knowledge of rugby, and Matt King is a better rugby player than Pat Richards.
